About Calendar components

You can use the Calendar component to select dates from a calendar that can be set to show a day, week, or month view. You can use the navigation buttons or arrows on the component to move backward or forward in time.

Note: For month view, you can use the Hide Month Navigation Buttons property to hide the navigation buttons. For other calendar views, such as week or day, the navigation buttons are always displayed.

The Calendar component is bound to an IDO collection that is available to the form. IDO objects from the collection can be rendered on the calendar as activities or events, depending on how you define them in the Calendar Settings dialog box.

You can set the variables and properties of the component to create an alert when a user selects an activity for a date on the calendar, for example, when a user selects a vacation day.

In the component definition, you can set up categories and colors for different types of activities. Then if the user selects or adds an activity in the calendar that matches a defined category name, the activity is displayed in the calendar with that color.
