reminders

I am creating a web app that allows users to manage a calendar (CRUD events, tasks, reminders etc...) And I am trying to implement a feature where they will receive a popup reminder x-minutes before the event/task. From my understanding there is really only one way to do this with javascript: On login, check for any upcoming events in the database (say in the next 12 hours) and create a setTimeout for the next event, when that setTimeout executes, check again for next event and so on... My question is, will having multiple setTimeouts (10+) running in the background during user interaction

I'm trying to read the reminders set by the user. What I mean with "reminder": currently there are two different meaning, the first one is the "alert" related to each event in the calendar and you can read them from CalendarContract.Reminders , the second one are unrelated events inserted by the user via Google Now with "remember me to...." or via Google Calendar app with insert reminder action. I'm talking about the second one. I'm reading from the event table CalendarContract.Events . However it seems that this information is not saved there or it's not accessible. Is there a different

I want to extend MS Outlook so that when a calendar reminder pops up, I can run a VBA hook that can run an external program (like a batch script). In my case, I want to "forward" the reminder to a Linux desktop since I work in both environments and I don't always have the Windows desktop visible. I see an example at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/HV080803406.aspx and have opened VBA Developer view in MS outlook 2010 and inserted a class module and added that VBA code, but I do not see how to activate this code - when a reminder pops up, this code is not activated.

I am using asp mvc 3, jquery full calendar, ms sql sever 2008 and c#. I am wondering if anyone knows how to make recurring events? I am unsure how to make them. For instance in google calendar you can make an appointment repeat yearly forever. I doubt that they generate that appointment X times in the database. I am wondering how I could have one row in my db and somehow know to call that up when needed. Also google calendar and outlook have lots of repeating options like repeat on the 1st month, last month and etc. Is there any libraries build that have this? Or do I got to make it from

I have an android app that downloads with a service some drugs info. For example (fludex white round 2 24-02-2012),means a drug named fludex ,white and round,must be given 2 times per day from today untill 24-01-2012. Now i want after drug info downloading , to add repeated event with drug info to the calendar silently/programmatically(without user interaction). So that from today untill 24-01-2012 every 10 am and 10pm to have a reminder 10 minutes before to take his drug. My app will be for android 2-4. How can i do that,i'm confused from my searching so far. Second question:How can i delete

In creating an iPhone app, is it possible to generate a popup alert on the iphone (similar to a Push notification) when the app has been closed. A simple example would be to have an app that can set a reminder at 5:00PM January 5th, 2010. The app can be closed and the reminder will popup at that time. I don't think this is possible but would like to know if anyone has any ideas? Again, i do not want a Push solution but rather a solution that does not require internet access (i.e. "local" push from iPhone). Thanks. You can do it now! And it's really rather simple. Create a UILocalNotification.

I am having no luck dismissing an Outlook alert programmatically before it displays. Private Sub Application_Reminder(ByVal Item As Object) Dim objRem As Reminder Dim objRems As Reminders If Item.Subject = "TESTING" Then 'downloadAndSendSpreadReport Set objRems = Application.Reminders i = 0 For Each objRem In objRems i = i + 1 If objRem.Caption = "TESTING" Then objRems.Remove i If objRem.IsVisible Then objRem.Dismiss End If Exit For End If Next objRem Item.ReminderSet = False Item.Delete 'Item.Dismiss End If End Sub I want to use this appointment Item as a trigger to some macro without needing
