Appointment Manager

[PMP1]

I have search a number of the relevant forums for an answer without success. My questions at this are general in nature and I hope I have the correct forum - if not please advise and I will repost.

Using Google I found the application & source code (C#) for DayView_Calendar.
I am converting an access database to VB with some success and would like to add an appointment booking form to the completed app when I finish.
I like the look of DayView_Calendar (similar to Outlook) but I wish to learn and write my own form using VB.
Questions:

1. Can such a form be developed using VB or do I have to use another language?
2. What is the 'structure' of the grid displaying the appointment information. It seems to act like like cells in a table i.e. triggers an event when double clicked??

I know I will have many more questions once I have some basic understanding of how these forms are designed.
I will be only too happy to publish the end result for all to use once I have something functional.
Thanking you
Peter

Yes, you can use VB to build such applications/forms.

There are various grid controls, most of which will allow you to fire/trigger some action the moment the user does something to a cell in the grid.

Thanks for replying honeybee.
I now know I have some serious research do you in relation to the VB Language.
I have looked into controls within VB Studio Express and can not see a grid control (excluding the grid control used with databases). Nor can I find reference to a grid control in the 1200+ page VB manual (albeit 2003) that I have.
I would appreciate a ppinter to help my research without specifically telling how to it.

That kinda makes it difficult.

Datagridview is the most common grid control you will find with MS DotNet. Try working with it for a while.

It's time you put your requests for help in more specific form, so it's better you start putting together the project you want to do. You can then ask specific questions and get better answers.
