position but do not want him to interact or see any information about the appointment.
The schedule property BlockoutColor is used to draw the solid color for any
appointments that have been blocked-out.
ClockSetting
Because different countries have different time displays, the ClockSetting property
allows you to define this display. The settings allow for time to be displayed in 12-hour
or 24-hour format. This affects the schedules, its property screens, etc.
ConflictDisplay
Invariably when building schedules, conflicting appointments occur. The schedule
allows for conflicts to be displayed in 3 different ways: overlap, side-by-side, and
stagger. The overlap setting is the least useful of all. It allows conflicting appointments
to completely obscure each other. No attempt is made to show all appointments if there
are conflicts. The side-by-side setting guarantees that no part of any appointment is
obscured by another. If a conflict occurs between two appointments, each becomes half
as wide and they are displayed in columns within columns. The stagger setting is not as
useful but can be used to add graphic splendor to your schedule. Some parts of
conflicts appointments are obscured but some part of them is guaranteed to be visible.
In this way it is not possible to totally lose sight of an appointment even if most of it is
covered.
DayLength
This DayLength property defines the length of the day displayed by a schedule. This is
measured in hours. A schedule can only be of integral hour length starting and ending
on an hour boundary. For example, if the StartTime is 8a and then DayLength is 10
hours, the last visible time will be 6p.
Appearance
This property object defines the look of the main schedule. It contains settings for the
backcolor as well as the gradient style. This Appearance object is used to draw all areas
that are not margins, headers, or appointments. In other words it defines the schedule
grid itself.
HeaderDateFormat
Every application has a different requirement on how to display dates. The
HeaderDateFormat property allows you to define how dates appear in the date headers.
This property is used to format the dates in the row or column header. It is only used if
the viewmode is set to a value that includes dates, of course.
MaxDate
This property defines the last date to which the user can scroll. A schedule must have
some date range and it is defined by the MinDate and MaxDate.
MinDate
This property defines the first date displayed on a schedule.
