CalendarEvnt.CustomProperties doesnt work

I'm not sure where to post this, whether it should be in the Calendar Control beta forum or on the beta.codjock.com site - I am using the 9.70 release of the Calendar control - where should problems/queries about this be posted?

The CalendarEvent.CustomProperties collection only seems to work when the event has been added via DataProvider.AddEvent. When an event is added on the calendar ("in place" event creation) I need to save it to the database. I have this code:


Private Sub xtmCalendar_EventAdded(ByVal EventID As Long)
    Dim CalEvent As XtremeCalendarControl.CalendarEvent
    Set CalEvent = xtmCalendar.DataProvider.GetEvent(EventID)
    If Len(CalEvent.CustomProperties("ID")) = 0 Then
        CalEvent.CustomProperties("ID") = 999
    End If
    MsgBox xtmCalendar.DataProvider.GetEvent(EventID).CustomProperties( "ID")

End Sub


Where 999 is assigned would normally be a call to a function to create the event (appointment) in the application database, returning the new id of the appointment.
The CustomProperties collection is updated for the CalEvent object but not for the object in the DataProvider. The last line shows a message box with the "Empty" value of CustomProperties("ID").

This means that Events that are added when the calendar control is initially set up (see below) have a CustomProperties("ID") value, but new events do not.

Am I using the DataProvider incorrectly?


Here is the code snippet that sets up the calendar:


frmMyForm.xtmCalendar.DataProvider.RemoveAllEvents

Set rs = GetRecordSet("SELECT SQL THAT GETS APPOINTMENT RECORDS")

Do While Not rs.EOF
     Calendar_AddEvent Val(rs!ID), IIf(Len(NoNull(rs![Subject])) > 0, rs![Subject], "Untitled"), NoNull(rs![Notes]), rs![begin], rs![End], rs!Private, blnMeeting
     Records = Records + 1
     rs.MoveNext
Loop

frmMyForm.xtmCalendar.Populate
frmMyForm.xtmCalendar.RedrawControl
       

And the Calendar_AddEvent() Function:


Public Function Calendar_AddEvent(ID As Long, Subject As String, Description As String, StartDateTime As Date, EndDateTime As Date, _
                          Optional PrivateFlag As Boolean = False, Optional MeetingFlag As Boolean = False, _
                          Optional RecurrenceType As Integer, Optional RecurrenceEndDate As Date) As XtremeCalendarControl.CalendarEvent
    Dim CalEvent As XtremeCalendarControl.CalendarEvent
    Dim CalRecurrence As CalendarRecurrencePattern

    Set CalEvent = frmMyForm.xtmCalendar.DataProvider.CreateEvent()
    If CalEvent Is Nothing Then Exit Function
    CalEvent.StartTime = StartDateTime
    CalEvent.EndTime = EndDateTime

    CalEvent.Subject = Subject
    CalEvent.PrivateFlag = PrivateFlag
    CalEvent.MeetingFlag = MeetingFlag
    CalEvent.BusyStatus = CalendarEventBusyStatus.xtpCalendarBusyStatusBusy
    CalEvent.CustomProperties("ID") = ID

    frmMyForm.xtmCalendar.DataProvider.A ddEvent CalEvent
    Set Calendar_AddEvent = CalEvent
End Function
       


This is quite important to get resolved, so any prompt advice is appreciated.

Thanks
