Description
This component allows for management of schedules. Schedules can be defined by specifying which days of the week and which times of day they are active on. The times of day are defined using a string of time ranges, where the times are specified in 24-hr format with dashes between the beginning and the end. Multiple ranges can be specified by separating them with commas. Examples: 

 

8:00-17:00

Valid from 8am to 5pm

6:00-12:00, 12:45-14:00

Valid from 6am to noon, and then again from 12:45pm to 2pm

0:00-24:00

Always valid.

 Schedules that alternate weekly or daily can be specified by using the repetition settings. All repeating schedules need a starting day. For example, you could have a schedule that repeats on a weekly basis, with 1-week on and 1-week off. This schedule would be  active for seven days starting on the starting day, and then inactive for the next seven days, then active for seven days, and so on. Note that the days of the week and time settings are evaluated in addition to the repetition settings. This means that both settings must be true for the schedule to be active. Also note that if you set "Repeat / Alternate" to a setting other than "Off" and you do not specify a starting day, the schedule will never be active.

Event Handlers

This event signifies a mouse click on the source component. A mouse click the combination of a mouse press and a mouse release, both of which must have occurred over the source component. Note that this event fires after the pressed and released events have fired.

.oldValueThe value that this property was before it changed. Note that not all components include an accurate oldValue in their events.
.propertyNameThe name of the property that changed. NOTE: remember to always filter out these events for the property that you are looking for! Components often have many properties that change.
