Results
As soon as a working day begins, the program fixes the time when the employee
starts working. The employee chooses the project he is going to work with, and
this action fixes the starting time for this project. During his working day,
the employee registers in the program the projects he works with, and the
program fixes the starting time and the final time for every project. As soon
as a working day is over, the program generates a report based on a special
user-defined template, and puts it to the shared network resource. If this
resource is not accessible, then this information is stored locally until the
shared resource becomes accessible.

Technical peculiarities
Among the most interesting peculiarities of the project the following ones
should be highlighted:
•
|
The main dialog window has a
non-standard layout, as it is created on the basis of a template (the
designer-defined picture), i.e. the dialog window may be of any shape preset by
the picture in BMP format or others.
|
•
|
Skin controls were designed such as
buttons of a special shape, scrollbars, combo boxes, edit boxes, which allow
changing their shape and appearance according to the skin images kept in a file
or in application resources.
|
•
|
A simple HTML-like language was created
that
|
|
|
|
enables the user to set a report
template used to generate job reports with the help of tokens. The tokens, in
their turn, are used to create the report structure and information to be
displayed in the report (i.e. the user name, the date, when the working hours
start and end, when the project starts and ends, description of the performed
work, when the break starts and ends, total working hours minus the break time,
etc.).

•
|
A parser was created for the template
description language, as well as a report generator using these templates.
