One of the features that regular users seem to love in Windows Vista is the sidebar's analog clock. Every time I glance at somebody's desktop in a coffee shop they are using one. Windows XP users are not left out in the cold with the ClocX desktop clock that works similarly. The clock really looks slick, especially if you choose a nice looking theme: If you right-click on the clock you can change some of the common options, and also get to the options panel.
The options panel has loads of different options you can choose from... note that you can use the Pin to Desktop option in here and remove Always on top if you want the clock below all the other windows.
This is my second article for The Code Project community. This article will explain about making an analog clock control that mimics Windows Vista clock sidebar gadget. It mimics the loading and tick effect, has timezone property which can be used to maintain timezone for displaying in the clock, and has a nice designer support feature as well.
TheClock is an analog clock control that mimics Windows Vista sidebar gadget especially in its behaviour like loading, ticks, and even timezones. Take a note that since timezone features will have a complex method, I will separate the article which you can find after I have finished with this article.
With the release of Windows Vista, most people would know that one new thing that comes with it is the sidebar with gadgets. In all those gadgets, there's a control that catches my attention, the analog clock. It has nice features and interface. After observing how it works, I decided to make my own VB analog clock based on that gadget. Thus, I created this article to share with CodeProject members, especially most of members who already contributed their good articles to this site that helped me a lot with my work.
After the initialize step, now we will continue with the main feature. Region Draw Surface Area contains a method that is needed for drawing Hour, Minute and Second hand. To create all the effects, we will have 3 timers for this control. The first timer will act as time indicator. It will tick each second and tell the control to update the second hand's position. The second timer will do the "bounce" effect. Now, if you observe the Windows gadget correctly, you will notice that after the second hand tick, it will bounce back a little, just like the real clock. In order to create that effect, we will need a timer to bounce the second hand after it ticks. The last timer will be used for the initialize process. After the control loads, it needs to find the position of the current time and place the hands in the right place in an elegant way. That's why we need to implement ISupportInitialize to do the work.
For the last feature, we will add Timezone support for the component. By adding this feature, the user can choose what time she/he needs for the control instead of just following Windows standard control. This feature can also be integrated with designer support to make it even easier to use. Moreover, it will have some nice "Use My Own" feature that can adjust the clock time difference with input from the user.
The app is an NTP-enabled application, and will update your system clock time by synchronizing it with atomic clocks through the Internet. It also includes a skinnable quick calendar window, accessible by mousing over the Analog Clock.
By using the Wallpaper Clocks available on the Vladstudio website, Dexclock turns your desktop into a fully functional clock, seamlessly embedded into awesome designs. There are hundreds of wallpaper clocks ready for download on Vladstudio, and Dexclock is the perfect tool to manage them.
Windows Vista displays by default the clock gadget in the Windows Sidebar.
If the clock gadget does not show in the sidebar: right-click on an empty area of Vista's sidebar, and choose Add Gadgets. Find the clock gadget in the Gadget Gallery that just opened, and drag the clock to the sidebar.
The clock gadget is now displayed inside Windows Vista's sidebar, using the default clock "look and feel", and using your current time zone.
Of course, if you change your computer's time zone, Vista clock gadgets currently using the default PC time (the actual Windows operating system's internal clock) may be affected. To avoid problems with date and time, make sure to double-check your clock gadgets whenever you change your computer's time, date, or time zone.
We will now show you how Windows Vista lets you configure options and settings for the clock gadget: move your mouse cursor (pointer) over the clock, until the control buttons appear on the side. Click the wrench tool to customize the clock.
The clock's option window opens, revealing all settings available to the gadget (these options pertain only to the given clock).
Notice the navigation arrows: these allow you to customize the look of the clock; Windows Vista's built-in clock gadget includes 8 different clocks.
Under the field Clock name, you can give a custom name to each clock you display on the sidebar.
The Time zone dropdown allows you to set the time zone the clock should display; by default, the clock uses the time zone you have set for Vista. The time zone settings only affect the current clock gadget, which means that you can have multiple clocks on the sidebar, each showing its own time zone.
By default, Windows Vista does not display in the clock gadget the seconds hand, which can be a bit distracting. If you want to see it, click Show the second hand checkbox. Vista will then display and move the seconds hand in red, and in real time:
Note, for clarity, that the clock gadget features and settings we discuss in this tutorial apply only to the Vista clock gadget, which ships with the operating system: if you do a quick search for new gadgets, you will see that gadget clocks are among some of the most popular gadget types. If you do not find the functionality or flexibility you are looking for in the official Vista clock gadget, chances are that some other Vista gadget developer has thought of it, and possibly posted online such a clock!
I thought I could select Blaze to show me digital clock instead of analog one. I really don't like the analog one. I could not find a way to select digital one. Is it not available? If so that's really bad as I saw pictures like this online:
Hello @sarp, @matt9013, @mcrmama, @Ratchet, @SunsetRunner and @SunsetRunner it's great to have you here! @mcrmama thanks for your amazing cooperation! @SunsetRunner thanks for sharing the product manual @sarp I'm glad to know that you where able to change the clock face to a digital one!
Clock is a simple program that provides users with four interesting tools. It displays the current time, five color-coded alarms can be set, it acts as a stopwatch and it functions as a virtual calendar that modifies the existing wallpaper on a monthly basis. This clock will keep accurate time even if it is set within the background and it is free to install.
Windows Sidebar originated in a Microsoft Research project called Sideshow (not to be confused with Windows SideShow.) It was developed in the summer of 2000, and was used internally at Microsoft.[1] It included a clock, traffic reports, and IM integration.
