Setting up MiG Calendar for usage
Classpath
In order to use the calendar component your application
needs to find it. How to do this depends entirely on you
environment but normally you add it to your classpath,
possibly in the project settings in your IDE. The file to make
available is
migcalendar.jar
or
migcalendarbean.jar
.
Note! From v5.5 You should use
migcalendarbean.jar
for
development and
migcalendar.jar
for deployment. They
differ only by the fact that the latter has more information in
the file, such as all the property editors needed for visual
development.
migcalendar.jar
contains the whole
component but all the unnecessary information is removed to
provide the smallest possible file.
migcalendar.jar
is
about half the size of
migcalendarbean.jar
.
Add License Code
Since the product you are using is commercial it will need to
be fed a license code before it can be used. This license code
should be entered before any usage if the component is
commenced or the component will enter evaluation mode.
This is normally done in your application's
main(...)
method or some other place that is run very early in the
startup sequence. This is done like this
com.miginfocom.util.LicenseValidator.setLicenseKey(File/String/InputStream);
Setting up a Swing Application
I order to show the MiG Calendar component you will have to
create a a normal Swing application. How to do that is
outside the scope if this tutorial but it can be done in just a
few lines. See the Swing trail in the Java Tutorial at Sun
Microsystems site. It is currently located at:
The examples below will assume that you have a basic Swing
