I got this working, by adding listeners to views and viewManager :

MyZimlet.prototype.init = function() {
(...)
this._gcmCalViewCtrl._viewMgr.addViewActionListener(new AjxListener(this._gcmCalViewCtrl, this._activerBoutonsViewActionMenu));
this._gcmCalViewCtrl._listView[this._gcmCalViewCtrl._currentView].addActionListener(new AjxListener(this._gcmCalViewCtrl, this._activerBoutonsActionMenu));
}

MyZimlet.prototype._activerBoutonsViewActionMenu = function(ev) {
    // "this" designe le controlleur de l'agenda ZmCalViewController

    if (MyZimlet.idRdvCoupe != '') {
        this._myZimlet._gcmViewActionMenu.enable(MyZimlet._OP_COLLER_RDV_PATIENT,true);
    } else {
        this._myZimlet._gcmViewActionMenu.enable(MyZimlet._OP_COLLER_RDV_PATIENT,false);
    }
};

MyZimlet.prototype._activerBoutonsActionMenu = function(ev) {
(...)
}

Here are the problems :




How can I solve this problem, please ?
I think I could put these instructions directly in Zimbra JS files, but I would like to make "clean" work, and keep all specific code in my Zimlet. Is it possible ?





Thanks for any help !

Good stuff. No one has played around with this yet, but you look like a hearty fellow, so this is just my brainstorm. Not garunteed to work.

1) addListener on viewManager works well when I open directly Calendar (with "app=calendar" parameter in Zimbra URL). But when Zimbra first open on default Mail app, viewManager isn't yet initialized => I've got an error, because I can't add listener on a null viewManager in my zimlet init() function.

You either need to wait until it's initialized automatically by Zimbra, or you need to force Zimbra to do that for you.

Strategy number one: Use the Zimlet onShowView method to wait until the particular view you want is being pulled up, and then add the listener:

Strategy number two: Use AjxDispatcher.run("GetWhateverControllerYouAreInte restedIn") to grab the controller and then initilize it by hand.

I like strategy one more, because it doesn't force a calendar load unless the user needs it.

2) addListener on default calendar view works well when I open directly Calendar at Zimbra startup. But for same reason, it doesn't work for other calendar views, or when Zimbra start on another app.

Again, I would argue for stragy one here. onShowView gets called when the view changes to the calendar. I have run into situations where the compose view doesn't trip the method, but it should work.

3) I have another similar problem : I redefined some Zimbra standard functions, in order to modify Calendar hours scale like this :

ZmCalColView._HOUR_HEIGHT = 84;
ZmCalColView._HALF_HOUR_HEIGHT = ZmCalColView._HOUR_HEIGHT/2;
ZmCalColView._15_MINUTE_HEIGHT = ZmCalColView._HOUR_HEIGHT/4;
ZmCalColView._DAY_HEIGHT = ZmCalColView._HOUR_HEIGHT*24;

ZmCalColView.prototype._getBoundsForDate =
function(d, duration, col) {
(...)
}
ZmCalColView.prototype._getBoundsForCalendar =
function(d, duration, folderId) {
(...)
}

This works well, except when I lauch Zimbra on Calendar app. Column where hours are displayed don't take care of my changes on default calendar view. Other views are OK.
I think there is a problem in the order in which things are executed. How may I solve this, without modifying Zimbra sources ?

I don't think it's possible for you to force loadyour zimlet before the application starts, which means that the best bet might be for you to force load the component (again. I think you can do this with AjxDispatcher.run) make your changes, and then re-initilize the component.Just a guess really.
