• Drop-Down List - The drop-down list control is a graphical pop-up element similar to a list box that allows users to choose one or multiple values from a list. When a drop-down list is inactive, it displays a single value or multiple values in an input text box.

• Group Button - The group button allows multiple actions to be grouped and behave as radio buttons or check boxes.

  • Validation - Appointment window fields have client-side validation support that allows customized error messages to display when invalid values are entered into input elements.
  • Cell Auto-fit - Instead of displaying an overflow indicator, work cells in the timeline view automatically adjust their height based on the exceeding appointment count. The same behavior applies to the month view in the vertical schedule too.
• Spreadsheet Control
  • Virtualization - The spreadsheet control supports virtualization for loading and viewing large amounts of data. Data is rendered on demand, as the scroll handle is moved, to make scrolling faster and smoother.
  • Lock Cells - The spreadsheet control supports locking a range of cells to prevent any kind of action from being performed. It allows users to protect specific sheets in a workbook or an entire workbook without using a password.
