I am trying to programmatically change the look & feel of outlook appointments in the calendar, e.g., add an icon to each appointment or similar. Is there any way of doing this? I have looked through the documentation, but could not find anything. This question is of course independent of language and also pretty much of the version of Outlook (I am willing to go with any version anybody knows how to do this).
Thanks so much!
No, you cannot set a custom icon for an appointment. The best you can do is set a category to make appointment displayed in the color of that category.

I'm using the primary theme colours from Office UI Fabric Core, but no matter which theme I change to in Outlook Web Access my add-in colors don't change. It's constantly using the default blue.
I've tried clear browser history/cache, different users, different browsers, different machines.
When displaying an Outlook Add-in in OWA the add-in is displayed in its own sandboxed iframe (if this helps someone who knows how the dynamic theme mechanism is suppose to work).
Office UI Fabric team member here. Sorry for the incredibly long delay, I'm just now seeing questions about Fabric on SO.
This question has come up a number of other times and is a scenario we hope to address soon. I don't have a great answer for when we can enable picking up & applying specific Office client themes, but know that this is important for us to support in our own product scenarios, so I'd expect to see developments here soon. We'll be working with specific product teams to figure out the best way to handle this from a technical perspective.
That said, in the meantime, it is actually possible to load themed styles in Fabric-React today that should give you an indicator of what the solution might look like: try changing a theme color like themePrimary on this page, then view a component like Button to see that change reflected there. I imagine the solution we end up with will look similar to this.
I don't know what is the real name of what I want to do, but I would like to make a list similar as this website link (Standard Select part at the top), does anyone can help me? I know it's something easy but I can't find what I want to do it for Xamarin. Maybe I don't search in the right direction, I assume it too!
There's no 1-1 implementation of a dropdown control in Xamarin.Forms but you'll get very close by using the Picker control.
Please notice that the default Picker control doesn't support binding so you might want to look for an extended version with that support.
There is no such thing built in Xamarin.Forms. You can choose one of the controls described in documentation.
To implement what you are looking for you will have to use Custom Renderer with control like this from Android. Of course for iOS you will have to use something different because there is no such control on iOS platform, but you can use this.
Have you looked at the Syncfusion AutoComplete control?
I think this is the closest you will get to what you are looking for.
They also provide a free community licence for developers
I want to do something like this: I export calendar event from Outlook calendar, and when I do it, I want to mark this appointment with custom icon. I already tried custom forms, but it only marked this event inside it, that means when I open it I got my icon in top left corner, but I want this icon for example in month view, where are all appointments and I want to quickly see which are exported and which not (screen below, little icon should be on right side of these fields).
Can someone give any tip how to do it in VSTO? Or is it possible at all?
You cannot do that. The best you can do is change the appointment color.
I want to create a small app for Windows Phone, and it will based on calendar, so people can input dates etc. But I can't find control which provides me calendar month view. I only saw that there is DatePicker, but that is not exactly what I'm looking for.
Is there control like that for Windows Phone?
Thanks,
Ned
Looks like this might be a good calendar control for your needs: https://wpcontrols.codeplex.com/
Maybe more sophisticated but not for free (99$): Telerik's Controls
http://www.telerik.com/products/windows-phone/overview/all-controls.aspx
But'll get a lot of controls all out of a single source ;)
It seems that the phone control toolkit is missing the BusyIndicator control.
Does someone know about one ?
does something else specific exists for WP7 ?
Have you seen the ProgressBar control? You can use the ProgressBar control to show that your application is busy doing something. It is recommended that you use PerformanceProgressBar by Jeff Wilcox (Remember to read his follow up post too, it is important to consider IsIndeterminate and its value).
If you wanted to create a splash screen with a progress bar in it, check out this example. Alex also shows how to customize the progress dialog in this post.
