Class TCalRRule

class TCalRRule;

Description

Class representing iCal repeat types.

This supports the following standard iCal properties:

• FREQ (rule type),

• DTSTART (start date),

• UNTIL (end date),

• COUNT (number of instances),

• INTERVAL (interval between instances),

• BYDAY,

• BYMONTHDAY,

• BYYEARDAY,

• WKST (start day of week).

Note that the repeat rule type (FREQ) must be set before any of the following properties can be set, since their behaviour is dependent on the rule type: BYDAY, BYMONTHDAY, BYYEARDAY

The WKST parameter is only significant in weekly repeat rules with an interval of greater than 1.

The repeat rule type may not be changed once it has been set.

IMPORT_C TCalRRule();

Description

Constructor for the iCal repeat rule type. This does not set the type. All data is reset.

Capability:

Illegal

IMPORT_C TCalRRule(TType aType);

Description

Constructor for the iCal repeat rule type. All data is reset.

Parameters

TCalRRule::TType aType The type of repeat rule. One of: EDaily, EWeekly, EMonthly, EYearly.

Leave codes

KErrNotSupported If an invalid repeat rule type is passed in.

Capability:

IMPORT_C TCalRRule();

Description

Capability:

Illegal

IMPORT_C TCalRRule(TType aType);

Description

Parameters

TCalRRule::TType aType

Capability:

Illegal

IMPORT_C void SetType(TType aType);

Description

Sets the repeat definition's type.

This will be one of: daily, weekly, monthly or yearly. If the type is weekly, it must have at least one weekday set by calling TCalRRule::SetByDay(const RArray< TDay > &).

The type may only be set once, from either the constructor or from the SetType function.

Parameters

TCalRRule::TType aType The repeat definition's type.

Leave codes

KErrNotSupported If an invalid type is passed in.

Panic codes

CalInterimAPI 15 The repeat rule type has already been set.

Capability:

Illegal

IMPORT_C TType Type() const;

Description

Gets the repeat definition's type.

This will be one of: daily, weekly, monthly or yearly.

Return value

Capability:

Illegal

IMPORT_C void SetDtStart(const TCalTime &aTime);

Description

Sets the repeat's start date.

The repeat rule's start date should match the first instance. If the entry type is of EAppt, EEvent, EReminder, and EAnniv then start dates of both the repeat rule and the entry will be modified to be the first instance after the repeat rule's start date. For ETodo, the due date (i.e. the end time) is aligned to the repeat rule start date.

Parameters

const TCalTime &aTime The start date, as a TCalTime so it may be accessed in utc or system local time.

Capability:

Illegal

IMPORT_C TCalTime DtStart() const;

Description

Gets the date on which this repeat rule starts.
