MonthHeader Tokens: Responding to Month/Year Changes

Scroll Prev Up Next More

MonthHeader tokens are used to display month and date information that varies depending on whether a change of month or a change of year occurs on a page or across a 2 page spread.

 

 

For example, the 3 examples above are generated by the same MonthHeader token shown below right.

 

Some remarks about MonthHeader tokens:

 

•There are 18 possible MonthHeaders per GridTemplate, from [MonthHeader1] to [MonthHeader18].

•The tokens [MonthHeader] and [MonthHeader1] are equivalent.

•The appearance and behavior of MonthHeader tokens is specified by the MonthHeader Options.

•The DayValue used for the comparison are specified in the MonthHeader GridOptions. However, when either comparison DayValue is 0 or 99, the MonthHeader token’s own date determines which month’s first or last day is used. In that case, use a token DayValue guaranteed to fall within the intended month.

•Forgetting to select the proper filler delimiters, leads to a token not found message at run-time.
