RedBox Background

RedBox Background is started by clicking on  the "Background" button, located on the entry dialog panel, or by selecting "File/Start Background" menu option. Once the Background is started, RedBox responds by communicating its readiness (RedBox is Ready !) and Windows taskbar has an additional Tool tray icon. Once this occurs, there is no need to start RedBox Background again. Background will be started every time Windows is started even without RedBox itself being started.

RedBox Background performs the following:

1. Resident Alarm
Resident alarm, checks alarms for all users created in RedBox. When it finds Alarm Appointments for any RedBox user, it displays RedBox Alarm dialog box, and activates a sound warning if set up by the user in question. If a user has a password activated, password prompt is also displayed.  Resident Alarm checks for all Alarms entered  since users last Windows session are sent. This means that if a user has not started Windows for 10 days and during this period had 5 alarms sent, this rogram will send all 5 alarms the next time this user logs in.

Note:

Alarm appointments are checked for every 60 seconds.

2. Reminder

Pressing a right Mouse button on the Taskbar "Tool Tray Icon", pulls up a menu containing the following items:

 List of RedBox users
Selecting a user from this list lets us into this users Reminder. It also brings up a window containing icons for various parts of the program. Clicking on any of these icons, displays relevant data for the part in question using todays date.  Date can be changed by clicking on two icons located on the right hand side. Right hand side of the window also contains icon which would take you out of the Reminder.

Note:
If RedBox is already started with selecting a user, that users name will be checked and disabled.
