The View Model API enables you to customize dialog element characteristics (values, availability, and layout) as needed.

This topic covers several common scenarios on how to customize the Appointment Dialog’s content and layout using the View Model API. In most cases, the ViewModel.PrepareControlFor and ViewModel.PrepareControl methods are used to access the Appointment Dialog editors.

The following code snippets illustrate how to customize editors on the dialog form:

• Replacing all Toggle editors with Check Boxes

• Changing the “Start” and “End” editors’ DateTime format

• Changing the “Resource” editor caption

• Changing the “Subject” editor caption’s forecolor and font settings

• Changing the “Description” editor’s forecolor and font settings.

• Hiding the “Location” and “All-Day” editors
