dbiPIM supports the
collaborative data platform for DBI's
calendar and scheduling components. The
primary focus of dbiPim is to host and
manage the DBI Calendar Object Layer.
While this object layer is based on the
MS Outlook object model, dbiPIM has been
designed to be more lightweight and less
complex than the Microsoft Outlook
model. The object layer in Calendar
Tools for .NET has been intentionally
designed as a thin object model to make
the controls and collections within the
controls as intuitive to use as
possible. |

PIM
Object Model :: The
dbiPim assembly hosts the definitions
for the Appointment, Contact, Day
Format, Location, and Task
objects. These objects can be used in
conjunction with the DBI Calendar Tools
controls, or by themselves as structures
for any collaboration information
application.
Alarm Component ::
The dbiPim assembly has a built-in alarm
queue object into which appointments can
be loaded and monitored for reminder
activity. When an alarm is triggered, a
default reminder dialog can be displayed
and/or a sound file played for that
appointment. |

Custom Images ::
The dbiPim assembly contains over 20
stock images that can be used in many of
the other DBI Calendar Tools components. |

Appointment Dialog
:: A standard appointment dialog
is provided by the dbiPim assembly which
can be invoked from the reminder dialog
or be called directly from code. The
dbiDayView,
dbiMonth, and
dbiCalendar
use this same dialog by default when an
appointment receives a double-click
event from a user. |

|
|

|
Reminder Dialog
:: A reminder dialog is provided
by the dbiPIM assembly to allow users to
review and respond to Alarm events. Like
the appointment dialog, the reminder
dialog can be called directly from code,
or it can be automatically displayed
when an alarm is triggered. |
