Re: [Evolution]: Notify Object Creation

Hi Harish


Thanks for replyin.

Here's wat i m doing to create the event entry...


/* Create calendar client and open the calendar */

ECal *client = e_cal_new_system_calendar();

e_cal_open(*client, TRUE, NULL);

/* Create the calendar component ie. event entry */

ECalComponent *obj = e_cal_component_new();


// after setting the parameters, create the icalcomponent */

icalcomponent *icalcomp = e_cal_component_get_icalcompone

nt (calObj);

// now create object...i.e, add event entry in the calendar
e_cal_create_object (client, icalcomp, &uid, &error);

Now after all this, i actually get event entry in calendar.ics file. But the gnome-desktop calendar (clock applet) does not shows this. After logoff/restart, clock applet/evolution calendar shows the event nicely..

I dont want to logoff/restart the system to get it updated by evolution calendar/gnome clock applet. How to notify both about the object creation?

thks

I am afraid I did not understand your problem much. Using the ecal
libraries (client), you just need to create/use a calendar source
(ESource) and use the APIs to create events.  Evolution-Data-Server
actually creates the events in response to your request - hence you do
not have to notify separately.

By gnome-desktop calendar - do you mean the Clock applet ? If yes, make
sure the calendar in which the event was created is enabled.

No, Log-offs and system restarts have no role to play here. Refer to the
test-ecal.c under calendar/tests in evolution-data-server module for
some reference code.
