Meppy,
My set up is using the planner.net calendar control on a VB 2005 windows form. I’m trying to do a few straightforward things, but struggling to implement.
I have a main calendar form that is in the monthview mode showing all 12 months. I want to give the user the ability to simply double-click on a particular day and open another windows form that has a different calendar in the timeview mode. On the timeview calendar, I want to give the user the ability to add, modify or delete appointments using standard forms. The part that I am struggling with is “cloning” (if I am using the term correctly) or simply copying the appointments on a given day on the main calendar over to the subordinate calendar and then reversing the process once the user makes their changes. It’s probably just a few lines of code on both forms, but I’m stuck. Any help appreciated. BTW, I looked at ALL the examples including DualView and none really fit my situation.
Thanks

So simple, works great, thanks!

Hi,

Don't such appointments show in the all-day header at the top of the timetable view?

Try settings TimetableSettings.EnableDayItems to Disabled.

I have set up a simple monthview calendar. I have successfully created appointments and they show up as expected. But what I am trying to do is to easily read, modify, and write changes to appointments (items?) programmatically in a simple manner. I do not understand a simple way to do that. Ultimately, I would like to use the calendar to hold my modifications for different types of appointments such as holidays, vacation etc. For example, I would like to populate the calendar schedule with a years worth of holidays and then either make them visible or invisible at the user’s discretion while maintaining other non-holiday appointments. My thought was to uniquely tag a particular appointment types and then cycle through the schedule over a given range to enable or disable the viewing or counting of appointment types. Alternatively, I could use a file or database to contain the information and simply rewrite the data whenever the user desired to make a change. It seems strange to go through that extra trouble when this incredibly capable calendar control can probably accommodate everything I’m trying to achieve. Examples on how to read, modify, and write changes to appointments both singularly and over a date range and advice on distinguishing appointment types would by much appreciated. Also is my vision to simply use the schedule to store the information really practical or am I better off setting up a parallel processing scheme as described above? Last question; is there a way to get monthview calendar printouts that look like a calendar as opposed to a tabular listing? I’m happy to buy another tool if necessary. Thanks.

thanks
