Calendar control

The above should work fine (and reading the doc I've learnt that the difference between the AppointmentEditor and AppointmentEditorControl is that the former can only be set at runtime). Infragistics has a (C#) sample which uses a combo as the editor control.

Note that you can also provide your own dialogue for editing the appointment, if you choose (override the UltraCalendarInfo BeforeDisplayAppointmentDialog event).

I should have explained myself better.

I know you can customize of override the control that opens when you click on the appointment, but I want to change the display of the appointment in the calendar. For example, an icon and a text.

The AppointmentEditor/Control will allow you to do this. You'd have to create the editor control (or use a formatted editor as Simon suggests).

Attached is a screen shot of the example I referred to earlier.

Is that closer to what you were thinking?

OK that looks as if it should be possible. I will dive into it.

Thanks!

Unfortunately this did not work for me. FormattedTextEditors are not supported here.

Any other suggestions?

(there is also the possibility of a 'Note' but I

cannot find any information about that in the help).

C# sample attached. Based on your findings I don't think this will support rich text either but maybe you can use it to find another solution or mix it with the appoinments...

Thanks! I finally managed. How can you figure out this stuff without Visual Studio? AFAICS the information is not in the docs.

BTW It turns out that the NoteEditorControl and AppointmentEditorControl do support FormattedLinkLabel but NoteEditor and AppointmentEditor do not. That cost me some time.

"Note that you can also provide your own dialogue for editing the appointment, if you choose (override the UltraCalendarInfo BeforeDisplayAppointmentDialog event)."

Could you explan how to do so please? I would like to prevent the default appointment dialog from appearing, and use my own instead.

Many thanks,

Roger

There's an example in the AutoEdge 2.0 sample (http://communities.progress.com/pcom/docs/DOC-57428).

Look in OpenEdge.AutoEdge.DailySchedule at the OnBeforeDisplayAppointmentDialog method, which I've included below.

method private void OnBeforeDisplayAppointmentDialog( input sender as System.Object, input e as Infragistics.Win.UltraWinSchedule.DisplayAppointmentDialogEventArgs ):
  define variable testDriveDialog as TestDriveAppointmentDialog no-undo.
        /* Stop the default dialog from displaying */
        e:Cancel = true.
         /* If this is an existing appointment, it will already have values */
        if not e:IsExistingAppointment then
            e:Appointment:Subject = "New Test Drive".
        /* Launch the dialog*/
        session:set-wait-state('general':u).
        testDriveDialog = new TestDriveAppointmentDialog(this-object,
                                                         ultraCalendarInfo1,
                                                         ultraCalendarLook1 ).
        testDriveDialog:Appointment = e:Appointment.
        testDriveDialog:AppointmentTag = cast(e:Appointment:Tag, Hashtable).
        testDriveDialog:ExistingAppointment = e:IsExistingAppointment.
        testDriveDialog:BindData(fDealerDataset, fCarDataset, fCustomerDataset).
        session:set-wait-state('':u).
        wait-for testDriveDialog:ShowDialog().
        /* Only add to collection if OK. */
        if EnumHelper:AreEqual(testDriveDialog:DialogResult, DialogResult:OK) then
        do:
            /* Don't forget to add the appointment to the */
            if not e:IsExistingAppointment then
                ultraCalendarInfo1:Appointments:Add(e:Appointment). 
        end.
        testDriveDialog:Dispose().
          return.
     end method.
 

Hopefully that's enough to get you started.
