Re: [Evolution-hackers] libecal functions

["Teresa Thomas" <tere ertw gmail com>]

Hi
I have one last (hopefully) question about libecal. I want to add a VEVENT to an existing Evolution calendar. 

Hence, I created an iCalComponenent to be added and hope to use the e_cal_create_object(ECal* eCal,iCalComponent iCalcomp, char** uid, char** error) function.

Now, I understand that eCal is a calendar client. If I want to add my event to an Evolution calendar, what exactly should eCal contain? Is it some sort of an identity of a cal? If so, how can I obtain it.

Thanks!

Thanks Mr Palanisamy!

My Bad, I actually meant to ask about the function e_cal_component_new() in ECalComponent.h/c.
Anyway, from what I understand it returns an  ECalComponent, which is an (easier to manipulate) wrapper around an iCalComponent.

e_cal_create_object is used to create a appointment, task or a memo
object (ECalComponent) in the corresponding backend (file, http,
groupwise etc).  There is no function named e_cal_create_object in
ECalComponent. There is a function e_cal_component_get_created which
gives the creation date of a ECalComponent.

Please have a look at http://www.go-evolution.org/EDS_Architecture .
