Built-in UI Elements

Microsoft Office 2007 Style Appointment Navigation

When you load your web site and see no appointments within the current view, what do you do next? Will you scroll up and down to make sure you don't miss anything? Will you then switch to a more general view to see when the closest appointment is?

If there's an all-day event that doesn't end within the current view, how can you tell when it ends? Will you browse back and forth again?

With the ASPxScheduler, application users will never have to worry about these things. Our calendar fully emulates the Microsoft Outlook 2007 interface, including the following elements:

• If you don't see any appointments, special arrows will show you the closest ones. You can click an arrow to navigate to the corresponding appointment.
• The built-in Date Navigator highlights dates that have appointments.
• Every event's start and end dates are always clearly indicated, even if an event doesn't fit into the current view.

Built-in Popup Menus

The ASPxScheduler implements a number of built-in context menus similar to those found in Microsoft Outlook.

• Content menu
  This menu can be invoked by a right-click on any free region on a timeline. It allows you to switch the current view, navigate to another date, add new appointments, etc. (Screenshot)
• Day View menu
  Additionally allows you to customize the time ruler's scale. (Screenshot)
• Timeline View menu
  Additionally allows you to show/hide timeline scales. (Screenshot)
• Appointment menu
  Use this menu to invoke an editor dialog for an appointment, delete an appointment or change its visual representation. (Screenshot)

Built-in Dialogs

Our scheduler control delivers a complete scheduling UI to your app since we've integrated all the dialogs needed by end-users to navigate and edit their calendar. You will not have to spend any extra time providing means for switching the view, editing resource layouts or modifying the contents of events. Built-in dialogs include:

• Go to Date
  This dialog enables navigation between dates and allows the view type to be switched. (Screenshot)
• Appointment Editor with Built-in Recurrence Editor
  This dialog allows end-users to customize an event's content, representation and layout. (Screenshot)
• In-place Appointment Editor
  This dialog allows end-users to quickly change an appointment's subject. It can be invoked by clicking a selected appointment. (Screenshot)
