this sample that i downloaded from that kb article gives me an error while I build it:

Error 1 Unable to resolve type 'Infragistics.Win.UltraWinSchedule.UltraDayView, Infragistics.Win.UltraWinSchedule.v5.2, Version=5.2.0.9000, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7dd5c3163f2cd0cb' D:\xxx\ultradayview_appointmenttext_vb\licenses.licx UltraDayView_AppointmentText_VB

i just put the license file that i had in place of the sample one the sample builds fine.

Hello,

Please let us know if you need any other assistance.

hi again .. 

so using the source in the KB article, what I extracted from it was the following to incorporate that functionality in my project:

in the form load event I wrote following 2 lines:

dayview.CreationFilter = New CreationFilter_CustomAppointmentText(dayview, AppointmentTextDisplayStyle.Automatic)

displaytype()

where the sub is the following:

    Sub displaytype()

        Dim displayStyle As AppointmentTextDisplayStyle

        ' Iterate the listbox's SelectedItems collection, and

        ' add the bit that corresponds to the constant to

        ' the stack variable

        Dim enumVal As AppointmentTextDisplayStyle = AppointmentTextDisplayStyle.Subject

        Dim creationFilter As CreationFilter_CustomAppointmentText = dayview.CreationFilter

        displayStyle = (displayStyle Or enumVal)

        If Not creationFilter Is Nothing Then

            creationFilter.DisplayStyle = displayStyle

        End If

    End Sub
