As I understand it, the calendar control does not send any notification of events when they happen (Doh!).

I obviously want to be able to pop up a dialog saying "Go to your meeting", or whatever, at the correct time. What is the recommended way of achieving this?

Is there a TellMeAboutEventsInTheNext5Minutes() function, or something similar available in the control?

This control looks perfect for what I want to do, but I need to be able find out when events are due quite easily.

Hi,

Actually, this feature is called "Reminders Manager" in our terms, and we are going to make it available with the next release of the Calendar control.

Excellent, that's what I like to hear!

When is the next release planned? Are we talking the next RC, or the next full version?
ie, Do I need my own solution for the next couple of months until the release happens, or it is going to happen in the next couple of weeks or so?

Currently it's hard to say when the next version will be released. It's only a little time passed since 9.80 release...

OK, so it will be a while before that is available.

Is it possible to access the event start time data from the control in a useful way? By useful, I mean can I find out about events have not been dismissed and are due?

I am sure you can see what I am trying to get at. I want to write a program that will remind people of meetings etc, just like Outlook does. This control gives me the UI perfectly, but is it possible to access the information to provide the reminders, dismiss events etc etc.
Thanks.

The most easy and straightforward way would be to retieve all events for the current day, iterate and check every of them. If needed, you can also retrive next day events. This method is fast enough, so do not worry to call it multiple times.
