roClockWidget (HD2000 only)
roClockWidget puts a clock on the screen. It has no extra interface, only construction arguments.
roClockWidget implements the ifTextWidget interface.
Object creation:
 CreateObject("roClockWidget", roRectangle rect, roResourceManager
res, rotINT32 display_type)
o rect = the rectangle in which the clock is displayed. Based on the size of the rectangle, the
widget picks a font.
o display_type = 0 for date only, 1 for clock only. To show both on the screen, two
widgets must be created.
Example:
rect=CreateObject("roRectangle", 0, 0, 300, 60)
res=CreateObject("roResourceManager", "resources.txt")
c=CreateObject("roClockWidget", rect, res, 1)
c.Show()
The resource manager is passed in to the widget and the widget uses the following resources within
resources.txt to display the time/date correctly.
Here are the 'eng' entries:
[CLOCK_DATE_FORMAT]
eng "%A, %B %e, %Y"
[CLOCK_TIME_FORMAT]
eng "%l:%M"
[CLOCK_TIME_AM]
eng "AM"
[CLOCK_TIME_PM]
eng "PM"
[CLOCK_DATE_SHORT_MONTH]
eng "Jan|Feb|Mar|Apr|May|Jun|Jul|Aug|Sep|Oct|Nov|Dec"
[CLOCK_DATE_LONG_MONTH]

vember|December"
[CLOCK_DATE_SHORT_DAY]
eng "Sun|Mon|Tue|Wed|Thu|Fri|Sat"
[CLOCK_DATE_LONG_DAY]
