Help with date compare in calendar

[aksis]

Hi There,

For an assignment I am building a birthdaycalendar.
I am left with one little problem though.
What I want the code to do is the following.
When one selects a month > the list shows the day in the month AND if there is a birthday in that month it adds the birthday from the text file to this day.

I have tried several things but I cannot get the thing to compare the dayListModel i to the daytoken. Can someone please help me out and put me on the right track again.

I managed to get the thing going a bit further. It now adds the name to the dates more or less on date compare, but now it adds the names to all the dates following the birth date until it runs into another value or the end of the month. Could someone help me with solving this problem?
