I currently have some data stored in a Datagrid and the user described
wanting something similar to pocket outlook with a month/week/day view...

I realize that I will have to create this custom control on my own to handle
all of the specific operations that would need to be done to react to my
specific application data...

I'm wandering what is being used for the table looking structure of pocket
outlook? Are those buttons or something else?

I'm just looking for ideas...

Thank you...

Definitely not buttons. I've just implemented such control for my own
application. Month view is just one large custom control with 3 or 4
auxiliary buttons on it for month/year and next/previous. The rest is
painted dynamically
 
Hmm...so you are using some sort of graphics object to paint the squares for
each day...I'm assuming the whole month view is just a collection of the
smaller day objects or something and that when you click on these to add
something that they have other GUI stuff that needs to be drawn within the
day object...

I've never done my graphics devlepment for the pocket pc...Any direction is
appreciated...Once I figure out the basics, I should be able to handle the
rest...What are you using to "paint dynamically"?

Thank you...
