| I was glad to see the ability to use custom icons for events in 10.3. However, is there any way to use icons that are in ImageManager? |

I tried the following but I get an error "Invalid use of property" on the CustomIcons line. I must have a typo? Set NewEvent = Calendar.DataProvider.CreateEvent NewEvent.StartTime = Now NewEvent.EndTime = Now NewEvent.Subject = "New Event" NewEvent.CustomIcons (ID_PRINT) Calendar.DataProvider.AddEvent NewEvent Calandar.Populate |

Ok, that prevents the error from popping up but it doesn't show any icons. The icon is 16X16. In this case, does size matter?

Actually, yes  Icons are printed as is and only when there is enough free space for them. By default 16x16 will be visible only with big events rectangles in the DayView. The size of custom icons in the Calendar VB sample is (16 x 11). Also you can set events height bigger using theme 2007 customization features. (see height formula) -- WBR, Serge |

Is there a clearer sample of heightformula than the one in the calendar example? I'm having a difficult time finding it. For example, I just want to set the height of the event to 20 or so, so that it will display the entire 16X16 icon. Thanks! |

You can use the following code: CalendarControl.Theme.DayView.Event.HeightFormula.Divisor = 1 CalendarControl.Theme.DayView.Event.HeightFormula.Multiplier = 0 CalendarControl.Theme.DayView.Event.HeightFormula.Constant = 20 ' the same for month vew CalendarControl.Theme.RefreshMetrics CalendarControl.Populate -- WBR, Serge |

2 more questions on CustomIcons: 1. Is there a way to show more than 1 icon for 1 event? 2. Is there a way to tell the icon to be visible on either the left or the right side of the event as opposed to only on the right? Thanks! |

1) CustomIcons is a collecton. You can add any number of icon IDs. However, some icons may not be visible because of no space to draw them. This depends on event width. 2) Unfortunately, no. -- WBR, Serge |

Is there a way to use custom icons when not using the Office 2007 theme? Also, I would really like to have the option to display the icons on the left instead of the right. Lastly, when you adjust the height settings of the events in the month and week view, is there any way to get the text to wrap to the next line if there is enough vertical room? The event text in the day view does wrap. |

No for the moment, but we are working on enabling this possibility for standard Office 2003 theme as well.
We'll consider this feature for implementation in future.
Those views are designed for having only 1 line of text, and all events have the same height. -- WBR, Serge |

But, adjusting the following parameters: CalendarControl.Theme.MonthView.Event.HeightFormula.Divisor CalendarControl.Theme.MonthView.Event.HeightFormula.Multiplier CalendarControl.Theme.MonthView.Event.HeightFormula.Constant CalendarControl.Theme.WeekView.Event.HeightFormula.Divisor CalendarControl.Theme.WeekView.Event.HeightFormula.Multiplier CalendarControl.Theme.WeekView.Event.HeightFormula.Constant will change the height of the event. Even if the height is changed to provided enough room more more than one line of text, it will still only show one line vertically centered. I would like it to show multiple lines as long as there is enough vertical room. |

Actually yes, it would be good. We'll consider this feature for implementing in future. -- WBR, Serge |
