iCalendar [.ics file] Open Source Lib for LiveCode

[Brahmanathaswami]

Andre had some amazing libs for this

it was not iCal specific but broader  "vObjectLib" he called it...

with that you could roll your own functions easily for iCal..
I use to use it a lot and plan to use it again in a future mobile app.

snippets from my old code

    # Create a new entry
       put tDate into tEntrydate
       put  GetvObjectPropertyValue(tEvent, "Summary") into tSummary
       put  GetvObjectPropertyValue(tEvent, "Description") into 
tRawDescription

       put  crunchDescription(tRawDescription) into tDescription

     else
     # date has not changed so we just pile up the events we want
              put ", " & GetvObjectPropertyValue(tEvent, "Summary") 
after tExtraEvents
         next repeat


If anyone is interested I can ask him if I can release it...
it was really robust and pretty bug free...the stack script has over 250 
vCard functions, including a lot of iCal stuff.

still works... .ics format has not changed much for years.
