I am trying to retrieve a custom property when an event is double-clicked in the calendar.

The following code set-ups up the example event

Dim NewEvent As CalendarEvent, Recurrence As CalendarRecurrencePattern

NewEvent = AxCalendarControl1.DataProvider.CreateEvent
NewEvent.Subject = "Valuation of 51 Adelphi Street, Campbell Park"
NewEvent.StartTime = #5/15/2006 3:00:00 PM#
NewEvent.EndTime = #5/15/2006 4:00:00 PM#
NewEvent.BusyStatus = CalendarEventBusyStatus.xtpCalendarBusyStatusBusy
NewEvent.Description = "Some nice notes here..."
NewEvent.Location = "Campbell Park"
NewEvent.Label = 1
NewEvent.CustomProperties.Property("diaryId") = 14
AxCalendarControl1.DataProvider.AddEvent(NewEvent)

xCalendarControl1.Populate()

And this is the sub routine that is called on the double-click

Private Sub AxCalendarControl1_DblClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles AxCalendarControl1.DblClick

Dim HitTest As CalendarHitTestInfo

HitTest = AxCalendarControl1.ActiveView.HitTest
If HitTest.ViewEvent Is Nothing Then

Dim frmDiaryEntry As frmDiaryEntry = New frmDiaryEntry

frmDiaryEntry.Text = "New Diary Entry"
frmDiaryEntry.Show()
Else

Dim frmDiaryEntry As frmDiaryEntry = New frmDiaryEntry

 MessageBox.Show(HitTest.ViewEvent.Event.CustomProperties("di aryId"))
frmDiaryEntry.DiaryEntryId = HitTest.ViewEvent.Event.CustomProperties("diaryId")
frmDiaryEntry.Show()
End If

 
End Sub

Problem is I never get the correct value for the custom property. Instead I get a seemingly random 8 digit number!

How can I retrieve the custom property that I'm setting above sucessfully?

thanks.

Should be, but it doesn't

I'll try get a simple example project to demonstrate up here.

I'm programming in vb.net... but have seen the vb6 example project and am using it for reference.

OK, here is an example vb.net project demonstrating the error I'm coming across.

Could you please take a look and see what the problem might be?

Many thanks

Weird hey! At least my code was correct...

I'm running Windows XP Pro with SP2 and god knows how many random Microsoft updates! .Net 2.0 installed. UK English settings.

Developing in Visual Studio 2003, using Sql Server 2005.

When I click on any calendar entry I get "Hit: 33619969"

Any update on this problem?

thanks

I'm running Xtreme Suite ActiveX v9.81, how can I get hold of the fixed version?

My product downloads have expired etc and I really want a working version!

Do you mean the Support Request Form?

Thanks

Excellent, I now have the latest version of the controls and it works perfect...

So on to another question

Rather than remove my controls and add them again using the latest version (which would cause a headache), what is the simplest way up upgrading my VB.Net project to use the latest version of the controls?

I presume I remove the references and re-add them... but what would the correct reference be for the controls? If I simply select the Calendar control from the COM list it doesn't work, and doesn't look like the same file (in fact there were 2 references before).

thanks again
