A schedule may also be set to display a month at a time using the Month mode
setting. Depending on the MinDate and MaxDate settings, a scroll bar may appear to
allow for the scrolling through the allowed range of time. Even if the MinDate and
MaxDate are the same, the schedule will display one month. There is no way to display
only part of a month. The schedule display is formatted as a standard calendar. The
range of the schedule is determined by the month and year of the MinDate and
MaxDate. The minimum and maximum range is not determined by the days of these
two dates. In Month mode all months start on the first and end on the last day of the
specified month. The schedule property FirstDayOfWeek determines the day of the
week that is displayed in the first column. The default is Sunday, however it may be set
to any day of the week. If your application is being deployed in Europe, you may wish to
set this property to Monday for the comfort of users.

The third view is List mode. This allows the user to view the schedule in a list from top
to bottom, with appointment displayed in descending order. You may optionally choose
to display appointments in two fashions. All times can be listed with appointments
placed at their respective places in the time list or the appointments may be displayed
alone with no time list. In List mode, the appointments notes may be displayed and
edited on the right side of the screen if necessary. The notes section may be toggled on
and off based on the need to the containing application. When toggled on the schedule
is displayed in a two-page format with a dividing binder in the middle. If the notes
section has been toggled off, the display is one page with no divider.
