Other Controls
In addition to containing the main schedule control, the GbSchedule ActiveX also
contains some other, additional controls. They are schedule related in that you may
define headers, contacts, and task lists with them. There is also a properties control that
may be used to construct custom property windows for appointments in your programs.
All of these complement each other in the creation of robust scheduling applications.
ScheduleProperties Control 
The ScheduleProperties Control allows for the construction
of configurable property windows. In most cases this control
may be used to display customized information to the user.
In special cases where the application needs to display customized property windows,
this control may not be suitable. The control will display the Subject, Room, StartTime,
EndTime (StartTime+Length), Priority, Reminder, DisplayText, Provider, and Category.
Any of these may be selectively toggled on/off. The control needs to have its Rooms
and Categories collections set to the Schedule Rooms and Categories collections.
These collections are needed to populate the Rooms and Categories combo boxes on
the control. Also the ScheduleItem property must be set. This is the appointment to
which all of the control’s properties are set. Figure 13.1 shows the control on with all of
the available Schedule properties displayed.

The ScheduleProperties control has many properties that determine which of the
appointment properties are visible. Table 13.1 lists these visibility properties.
