ToDoList Documentation

By , 7 Feb 2007
 

Introduction to bpsToDoListDocumentation

Here is documentation for AbstractSpoon's ToDoList which can be opened within ToDoList itself.

Note: Starting with version 5 of ToDoList, .dan.g is distributing a version of this help file with the executable.

Information to build this file was taken from:

  • Source code resource files from version 4.x.
  • Observation of versions 4.10 and 5.0 Beta.
  • The pbwiki referenced in the documentation.

It is recommended that you do not use the Sort functions on this file. An attempt has been made to keep the menus and preferences in order as shown in the ToDoList Graphical User Interface.

I also have posted a sample XSL Transform for ToDoList which can be viewed on CodeProject.com.

QuestionWhat does "*" mean?membersepwolves21 Aug '12 - 3:51 
At the first row, there is "!","%","est."..."*"... I am wondering what the "*" means? It seems that if I clicked the task making it finished, the "*" will appear in the line.

QuestionTask List - Sorting, printing, calendar??memberDeanMcBean26 Oct '07 - 7:43 
Is there a way to print all the Task Lists (projects)? Also, it would be nice to view a short line item for completed/ incompleted tasks for each Project as well on the print out. Basically, i need to take a print out to meetings to go over each project and task within to discuss status of each, be nice to have a print out which shows this. Anyone?
 
Also, is there a way to sort the Project tabs by when a task within it is due?? i noticed an astric mark on the tab but is there more of a way to distinguish and organize the Projects Tab bar??? i have soo many projects that i can't go into each project just to check if something is due. I need ToDo to advise me which projects have an outstanding task(s) within it. Other than the sort the Projects alphabetically, are there other ways to sort the tasklis Projects?? please advise.
 
One more thing. is there going to be a visual calendar for TODO anytime soon? i'm a visual person and it would be nice to see all the projects on a calendar. Thanks
GeneralLink is brokenmemberMrGoodly7 Feb '07 - 12:38 
Hey there....the link for the documentation download seems to be broken

MrGoodly:
I hate it when someone says this to me... but....
    works on my machine
Frown | :(


If you wouldn't mind, could you check the URL which shows up in the status bar when you hover your mouse over the link?
On my machine it says: http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/ToDoListDocumentation/bpsToDoListDocumentation_Rev019.tdl


And the link works.
Also... if the link is something different, try copying / pasting the above into your browser address.
Let me know if that works too please.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Something very strange is going on.
 
If i edit the filename to be ..._Rev020.tdl then I get a *CodeProject* 'page not found', but if I just try the page itself I get an *IE* 'page not found'.
 
Could it be some strange caching problem?
 
BTW, I don't purport to know much at all about how internets work so this is just a cliched guess.

GeneralRe: Link is broken - Just a thought...memberMartin.L8 Feb '07 - 2:22 
Because the .TDL file is an XML file, my IE just loves to open it in the browser window.
 
Try Right-click menu...Save Target As.. to save the file to disk.
 
You could also try wrapping the .TDL in a zip and linking to that instead.
 
Hope this helps.

Martin:
 
I'm taking your advice and putting the file into a Zip File. (The previous version was distributed within a Zip file, but I switched to a simple tdl file because of the small size... maybe that was a mistake.) I had updated the link to the new file name, but maybe TheCodeProject only wants images and Zips.
 
If anyone is successful or fails to get the documentation, please leave a brief message as I was unable to duplicate the original problem. (so I can't tell if this fixed it)

GeneralCan't be opened in Chinese Windowsmember.dan.g.14 Dec '06 - 19:32 
Hi Brad
 
I've just come across an issue where MSXML barfs if I try to open certain tasklists when I've configured my machine to behave as if it was a chinese setup.
 
One such tasklist is the ToDoList documentation. I'm going to investigate it some more and I'll let you know what I discover. I'm guessing that there are some specific characters it doesn't like.
