Schedule Display
Overview
The schedule has many different ways in which it can be
displayed. All visible elements have a presentation
definition object named Appearance. This allows you to
set a common set of properties to change the settings of
any object in the package. You may control the look-
and-feel of headers, bars, and appointments.
The property grid displayed shows the Appearance
object of the schedule. It contains the settings for the
back color and gradients. If this object were attached to
a schedule area, the font properties would control the
text drawn. This object gives you full control over the
alignment of text its color and the background on which
it is displayed.
