PHSM-Calendar - v. 17.13 - Updated November 13th 2024

The latest (and the last) FlashPlayer version is 32.0.0.465

That is true for most versions of the player, but NOT for the embedded versions, which are distributed and installed by Windows Update (not by Adobe Update), and are used for Internet Explorer in Windows 8.1 and 10 - see: https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/about/ - here the last embedded version is 32.0.0.445.

I have made an effort to save the latest Adobe full installers after every update the last 8 months (see: https://gadget.madsenworld.dk/Flash/install_flash_player_ax.zip and https://gadget.madsenworld.dk/Flash/install_flash_player.zip ) which are both version 32.0.0.465 - but install_flash_player_ax.zip is only for Windows XP, Vista and 7 - it will not work under Windows 8.1 and 10.

And I also made sure that the embedded version of the ActiveX player on my Windows 10 system were updated and saved for future use, before Microsoft removed them so brutally. So trust me - version 32.0.0.445 is the latest version for Windows 8.1 and 10

Just before Microsofts removal of the FlashPlayer I exported my entire Windows Registry, so I could compare and see what was removed from the registry by KB4577586 - hence making the necessary .reg file for restoring the data.


In case anybody is interested in the older versions, I have saved these Full Adobe Flash installers:

For Mozilla compatible browsers
install_flash_player_32.0.0.387.exe
install_flash_player_32.0.0.414.exe
install_flash_player_32.0.0.433.exe
install_flash_player_32.0.0.445.exe
install_flash_player_32.0.0.453.exe
install_flash_player_32.0.0.465.exe

For Internet Explorer before Windows 8
install_flash_player_ax_32.0.0.387.exe
install_flash_player_ax_32.0.0.414.exe
install_flash_player_ax_32.0.0.433.exe
install_flash_player_ax_32.0.0.445.exe
install_flash_player_ax_32.0.0.453.exe
install_flash_player_ax_32.0.0.465.exe

For older Chrome browsers
install_flash_player_ppapi_32.0.0.414.exe
install_flash_player_ppapi_32.0.0.433.exe
install_flash_player_ppapi_32.0.0.445.exe

Version 12.1 (03-03-2021):

• Changed: In Gadget mode the link in the help for downloading the Flash installer now points to different installers under different Windows versions:
  • Under Windows 10 and 8.1 it points to: gadget.madsenworld.dk/Flash/FlashWin10.zip
  • Under Windows 7 and Vista it points to: gadget.madsenworld.dk/Flash/FlashWin7.zip
  Both Installers also remove Adobes Flash block.
• Changed: When opening the Notifications dialog box with Alt+click on a date, or Alt+F2, the sound clip that has precedence for that date will now be played. The sound will stop when the Alt-key is released. This is to make it easier to check the sound when using the <play> tag in the Event Message or the Birthday / Wedding Aniversary sound feature (see notes for version 12.0 and version 9.56).

Thanks - it might come in handy, if my own solution ceases to work.

There was an error in the update.cmd causing the gadget files to be unpacked to a directory named PHSM-Calendar1.gadget instead of PHSM-Calendar.gadget - thus leading to two versions of the gadget in Windows' Gadgets directory.

If you have downloaded version 13.0 before November 22nd 2021 at 19:45 CET please re-dowload or just install by double-clicking on the PHSM-Calendar.gadget file as before version 13.0.

If you have used update.cmd and now have a PHSM-Calendar1.gadget directory in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Sidebar\Gadgets\ you can delete the directory.

PHSM-Calendar - v. 14.0 - Updated December 24th 2021

Version 14.0 (24-12-2021):

• Added: It is now possible to mark a date. Long-click (hold the button down for more than ½ sec) on a date to mark it and Long-click one more time to remove the mark. Only one date can be marked at the same time. A marked date is shown with a red frame and lime-green text. Pressing F2, Alt+F2, F3 and F4 will use the marked date, as will the new second "Number of Day" field. The date stays marked also if you change the month or the year. Restart of the calendar or clicking the Reset button (next to the Week field) will remove the date mark.
• Added: New field to the right of "Number of Day". When hovering a date with the mouse this new field shows the number of days before(-) or after(+) the current date or the marked date. It is shown with yellow for the current date or with lime-green if a date is marked. Only a number of up to 99999 days can be shown in this field - after that >+100k or <-100k will be shown.
• Added: To better indicate when an invalid value is entered in an input field (Clock number, Month, Year, Week, hr, min or sec), the field is focused, the value is selected, and an error sound is played.
• Added: When changing the time for the two Alarms it is no longer necessary to click On / Off to save the setting.
• Added: It is now possible at the same time to use + or - before and after a number in the Month field. The + or - after the number (to go to next / previous year) will only have effect if the number is not big enough to cause a shift in the year by itself.
• Added: When the "Search for Events" dialog is open, Ctrl+click (or Middle-click) on another date in the calendar will now change the start date in the search dialog to that of the clicked date.
• Added: Better visual and functional support when using the Tab-key to navigate between the elements in the calendar.
• Added: You can now leave an input field by pressing the Escape-key.
• Changed: When clicking the Reset button or pressing F5 in the "Search for Events" dialog, the value of the "Search for" field is left as it was.
• Changed: Improved the update.cmd found in the program archive. It will now offer to run the installation of PHSM-Calendar.gadget if it is not already installed. It will also check for the presence of 8GadgetPack under Windows versions higher than 7.
• Fixed: In Gadget and Internet Explorer under Windows 10 selected content in input fields was not deselected when clicking a button (◄ or ► etc.).
• Fixed: After editing one of the fields Clock number, Month or Year, clicking on a button (◄ or ► etc.) would go the previous or next value of what was entered in the field. If you really also want to go back of forward, you will now have to click the button one more time or Long-click it.
• Fixed: Error when entering numbers higher than 12 followed by a + or - (to go to next / previous year) in the Month field.
• Fixed: Error when putting + or - both before and after a number in the Month field.
• Fixed: Error when reloading the calendar when run as Gadget or in Internet Explorer 8 while the "Edit / Delete / Add Events" or the "Search for Events" dialog was open.

Version 14.1 (01-01-2022):

• Added: From the Help window it is now also possible to open the History in a full browser window - hence making searching possible when opened from gadget or Internet Explorer.

Version 14.3 (14-01-2022):

• Added: New button [ copy ] in the "Search for Events" dialog for copying the search result. A dialog with Options is now shown - here it can be choosen where to place the number of days and whether possible code in HTML-tags should be included in the copied text. The choices will be remembered. When it is chosen to place the number of days before the Message, the days are aligned with spaces, hence it will only present well with a fixed width font. If Shift+Ctrl+C is used for copying the search result, the Options dialog is bypassed and the last selected options will be used.
• Changed: In the Events and Notifications popups the color of the number of days from the clicked day ( e.g. [4 days] ) is now shown with the same color as the date, to distinguish it better from the Event message.
• Changed: If a wrong time (> 24 hours) is entered for the Alarms, the last valid value is now shown, as it is in the calendars other input fields after illegal input.
• Changed: In the Main calendar a Click on the reset button (next to the Week field), will no longer reset a marked date. Use Shift+click to also clear the marked date.
• Changed: In the Main calendar Alt+click in the Month field is now the only way of shifting the format between "long name of month" and "short name & (number)". Previously Shift+click or Ctrl+click could also be used for this.
• Changed: In the "Search for Events" dialog Shift+click on a date can no longer be used for opening that date in the "Edit / Delete / Add Events" dialog. Ctrl+click, Middle-click or Win+click will still open the date for editing.
• Changed: To be less confusing, clicking on a date in another year in the "Search for Events" dialog will no longer change the year in this dialog - the year will still be changed in the calendar. The year in the "Search for Events" dialog can still be changed with the (◄ Year ►) arrows or by changing the year in the calendar itself.
• Fixed: Selecting text with the keyboard no longer worked in the "Search for Events" and "Edit / Delete / Add Events" dialogs.
• Fixed: Gadget showed error when pressing F5 in the Help window.

Version 14.4 (14-02-2022):

• Added: It is now possible to write a number in the far right Number of Day field to go this number of days back (-) or forward (+) in the calendar - relative to the current or the marked date. If +/- is omitted and the number is less than 365/366, then the calendar will go to the day with the stated number in the currently shown year. The found date will be marked. A maximum of 5 characters can be entered in the field.
• Added: When copying the search result to Clipboard in the "Search for Events" dialog it is now optional to include the header with Start day and date.
• Changed: Pressing the Reset button in the "Search for Events" dialog now leaves the parameters for copying to Clipboard unchanged.
• Changed: The modifier keys (Ctrl, Alt etc.) is changed for the Date and Time next to the Week field - see Help for more information. This is done to avoid changing the Date and Time format by accident and to match the modifier keys for the sound setting of Hour strike and Countdown / Alarms.
• Changed: Tabbing between fields and buttons with the Tab key now restricts the cycling to the current part (clock, calendar, timer) of the calendar.
• Fixed: Better handling of invalid input in the hr, min and sec fields after pressing Enter.
• Fixed: If the Week field was focused, then a click in one of the two last rows of dates would make the calendar go to the week of the clicked date instead of going to the entered week.
• Fixed: When running Gadget in minimized mode, using the Tab key could cause unwanted scrolling of the window content.
• Fixed: If the clock was set to (0) (done by clicking clock no. 0) before opening the "Settings I" dialog, then pressing Cancel would restore the clock to 0 instead of (0).

Version 14.5 (14-03-2022):

• Added: When pressing the Shift, Ctrl or Alt key down when hovering a date with the mouse, the "Timezone UTC" field will now change to show the Julian Date (Shift), the Julian Day Number (Ctrl) or the Modified Julian Day Number (Alt). You need to set focus on the calendar (click on it) if you want to toggle between the three modes without moving the mouse to another date. Press Escape to show Timezone UTC again.
• Added: The "Week" field now shows the number of weeks before(-) or after(+) the current date or the marked date when hovering a date with the mouse. Only a number of up to ±9999 weeks can be shown in this field - after that >+10k or <-10k will be shown.
• Added: It is now possible to go up to 999 weeks forward (+) or back (-) via the "Week" field. The previous maximum was 53 weeks. A maximum of 4 characters can now be entered in this field.
• Added: On Smartphones the last tapped date now stays marked until tapped again, or until another day is tapped. That makes it easy to see which date will be used, when tapping the value of the "Daylight Saving" or the "Leap Year" fields.
• Added: On Smartphones a tap on 'min' (at the bottom) will toggle between showing long month name / short month name + (number) in the Month field.
• Added: "PHSM-Calendar Edge IE-mode.lnk" in the BrowserSupport folder for starting the calendar in Internet Explorer Mode in the Edge browser. This way the flash clocks can still be shown if Flash has been re-enabled with the FlashWin10.exe tool.
• Changed: The calendar now shows year 0 according to ISO 8601 standard. Hence year 0 now equals year 1 BC, year -1 equals year 2 BC etc.
• Changed: Entering 0 in the "Number of Day" field no longer changes the calendar to the month of the marked date. -0 of +0 can still be used for that. The change is made to prevent that tabbing by the "Number of Day" field changes the displayed month.
• Changed: Increased the possible number of characters that can be entered in the Year field to 5.
• Changed: Years below 1000 is now shown with leading zeros.
• Fixed: The Week field was not updated when marking a date via the "Number of Day" field
• Fixed: When changing the week via the "Week" field, the calendar sometimes showed the wrong month when using week formats other than no. 1 (ISO 8601).
• Fixed: If a date was marked via the "Number of Day" field, pressing F4 did not open the "Edit / Delete / Add Events" dialog with the marked date, but used the current date.
• Fixed: After clearing a marked date by Shift-click on the Reset button (next to the Week field), F4 would still open the "Edit / Delete / Add Events" dialog with the previously marked date.
• Fixed: The value of the "Daylight Saving" and/or the "Leap Year" fields shown while hovering a date could be reset to those of the current date, when using the keyboard - for example pressing Tab, Enter, F2 or F4.
• Fixed: On Smartphones after marking a date via the "Number of Day" field, the "Search for Events" and "Edit / Delete / Add Events" dialogs would always open with the current date instead of the last tapped date.
• Fixed: On Smartphones scrolling was not enabled in landscape mode and in the "Search for Events" and "Edit / Delete / Add Events" dialogs.
• Fixed: Changing year or month in the "Search for Events" dialog did not work correctly for years below 1000.
• Fixed: The calendar was not shown correctly for years between 1 and 99.
• Fixed: Ctrl+click on the Reset button did no longer reset the theme color in version 14.4.
