Calendar does not display on L-click or hotkey

[Scott_Y]

T-Clock's calendar does not appear when I left-click on the clock (likewise if I set a hotkey for the calendar).

I'm using T-Clock Redux 2.4.3 on Win 7 x64. "Use T-Clock's Calendar" is enabled, and single left-click is configured as the mouse trigger. If I disable "Use T-Clock's Calendar", then the Windows clock pops up with a left-click.

The only program files I am using are Clock64.exe, then in a \misc\ subdirectory: Options.exe, T-Clock64.dll, and XPCalendar.exe. When I moved the latter file to the parent directory, left-click gave an error message that it was missing.

Thanks for trying out those things... that means T-Clock did register the click itself... just failed afterwards.
What happens if you run "XPCalendar" manually?

Also, did you enable "Close calendar on lose focus" ? Might be worth trying without that.

Running XPCalendar.exe manually has the same result as from T-Clock: nothing. It doesn't appear in Task Manager, either as an application or process (so it's probably not a matter of me overlooking a hidden window).

I tried "Close calendar on lose focus" both enabled and disabled, with no difference.

... did you enable "Close calendar on lose focus" ?

^this feature has never worked in my setup. 64-bit Win 10 Home Premium desktop tower.

Other than that, I am a big fan of your version of T-Clock, WhiteTigX

"Close calendar on lose focus" works for me (although for now it is only the Windows 7 built-in calendar).

I'll second Curt's appreciation for WhiteTigX! I used T-Clock 95 until I upgraded to Win 7 and T-Clock didn't work. So I'm thrilled to have it running again.

[Scott_Y]

I think the problem is that XPCalender.exe does not run even when executed on its own (independently of T-Clock).

I replaced XPCalender.exe with another calendar program (renamed to XPCalendar), and set the T-Clock option to "Use T-Clock's calendar." The new calendar popped up when I left-clicked on the clock.

I don't think there's been a related change.. but could you try out v2.4.4?

The bundled calendar feature does not work, probably due to XPCalendar.exe not running even when executed by itself. I suspect that is where the fix is needed.

[WhiteTigX]

That's odd... (also that I can't figure out how to get notifications on the entire board xD might work now...)
There's nothing happening at all?

I assume you used the "default" binaries (those without _vc2010 appended) so it shouldn't be "DLL Hell"

I'm interested to know if the executable gets to run at all, which might require to use a logging or even debug build.. though, it'll take a bit longer to setup the build system for that.

Yes, I used the default binaries. I double-clicked on \misc\XPCalendar.exe thinking it might run independently of T-Clock. Nothing ran. Then I replaced XPCalendar as described in Reply #5 above, and that calendar did popup successfully from T-Clock. (FYI, the replacement calendar was the old freeware Past-Present-Future by Bob Dolan.)

[WhiteTigX]

you did extract all files from the archive though? (also didn't mess with their folder structure?)
IIRC the Calendar wasn't made to complain about missing T-Clock DLL or load errors... only the main executable does.
You could also try to close T-Clock and run the 32bit Clock.exe to see if that works... since that's using the same DLL.
