ViewMode
This is a most useful property as it defines the look of the schedule. It determines the
type of information displayed on it. There are numerous modes available that display
different configurations of dates, times, room, and providers. Depending on how you
wish to display information to your user, you can use this property to define the view of
the information.
Selector Object
Overview
The Selector is an object used to define a user-highlighted area on the schedule. The
user may click the mouse or press the arrow keys to navigate and highlight areas of the
schedule. The selector defines the size of a new appointment, if the <ENTER> key is
pressed. In this way the user may define an area and create an appointment in it.
AllowSelector
This schedule property defines if the Selector object is used. The selector allows you to
select an area of the schedule with the keyboard. When this property is set to true the
keyboard can be used to highlight areas. For example, you may want to select multiple
rows (or columns) on the schedule. You can hold down the <SHIFT> button and use the
navigation keys to highlight the area of the grid over the desired area. If you wish to
disallow keyboard navigation then set this property to false.
Selector.Column
This property gets or sets the starting column in which the selector resides.
Selector.Length
This property gets or sets the length in cell units of the selector. If the time margin is on
the left and the Length setting is 2, the selector covers 2 rows.
Selector.Row
This property gets or sets the starting row in which the selector resides.
Appearances
All objects that are displayed on the schedule have an associated Appearance object. It
defines the look-and-feel of the object being drawn. Not all properties of the Appearance
object are used at all times. For example, the EventAppearance object defines the
drawing attributes of the event header at the top of the screen. There is no text drawn in
this region and as such the font properties of the object are not used.
Appearance objects come in different varieties. The standard Appearance object is
used to draw the headers and areas. The AppointmentAppearance object defines a few
more properties and is used to draw appointments. The
