Customise control

[Kay]

Hi all,

I'm trying to create an app to allow user to roster staff. My plan is to
have a list of people in a listview on the left then a "calender look"
control on the right, which will display date in a calender view.

The trick is, I want to place 3 check boxes in each "day" (as we have 3
shifts a day) to allow multiple select of Date/Shifts - i.e. by click on a
save button the system will check the check boxes, if it's checked then
it'll create a record in the DB.

Since I have no experience in customising a control and pretty new to VB,
could anyone give me some hints? Or is there any otherway to achieve the
same/similar result?

Thanks!
Kay

Hi all,

Instead of mucking around the calendar control, may be I should simply
create a set of group boxes and put the checkboxes/label into it, then
show/hide the control.

What I'm thinking is put 5 rows of the group box, each row has 7 groupboxes
represent Monday to Friday nad each group box has a label to show the date.
I'm now scratching my head about how to show/hide the group boxes according
to the Day (Mon - Sun) so it has the "calendar format".... any suggestion?
