Hi Andrés,   
   
Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support.

Since from Essential Studio v11.2.0.25, the VB samples will not be available in the Dashboard and instead it will be provided only on demand. Here we have provided the samples for all windows forms controls in VB.Net. Please refer to the attached samples.       
   
   
And another question it's posible to use a Datatable to get the items of calendar?   
By default, the data source for the Schedule control will be set as ScheduleDataProvider. So, the Schedule control does not have the direct support to set a data table as data source. However, any data source (i.e. binding list, data table) values can be retrieved to store the values as CustomScheduleDataProvider by implementing the ScheduleDataProvider. We have created a simple sample as per your requirement. Please make us of the below sample,   
   
   
   
   
Please let us know, if you have any other queries.

Thanks, I'll try to see if I can replicate it, I have some more questions.

Is it possible to put it in read only mode so that the user can not move items and can not modify them when double clicking?

It is possible to assign an id to each task in the calendar and when clicking double click on it, get the id?

how to change the language of the days of the week?

How to hide the number of the week?

Is it possible to modify the form that opens when double clicking?

In the menu that opens with right click it is possible to suppress all except day, work week, week and month? Can be translated?

Finally, you can modify the elements of the "show time as" list?

Hi Andrés,   
   
Thanks for your update.

Is it possible to put it in read only mode so that the user cannot move items and cannot modify them when double clicking?   
The ReadOnly property of GetScheduleHost() can be used to restrict the editing on the schedule. However, the AppointForm forms will be displayed when cell double click is occurred and the items will be edited when time/item dragged. In order to avoid these scenarios, the ShowingAppointmentForm and ItemChanging events can be handled based on conditions. Please refer to the below code and sample,   
   
Code example   
   
'Event subscription   
AddHandler Me.scheduleControl1.ShowingAppointmentForm, AddressOfscheduleControl1_ShowingAppointmentForm   
   
'Event Customization   
Private Sub scheduleControl1_ShowingAppointmentForm(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal eAs ShowingAppointFormEventArgs)   
            If grid.ReadOnly Then   
                        e.Cancel = True   
            End If   
End Sub   
   
'Event triggering   
AddHandler Me.scheduleControl1.ItemChanging, AddressOfScheduleControl1_ItemChanging   
   
'Event Customization   
Private Sub ScheduleControl1_ItemChanging(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e AsScheduleAppointmentCancelEventArgs)   
    If e.Action = Syncfusion.Schedule.ItemAction.Edit OrElse e.Action = Syncfusion.Schedule.ItemAction.ItemDrag OrElse e.Action = Syncfusion.Schedule.ItemAction.Delete OrElse e.Action = Syncfusion.Schedule.ItemAction.Add OrElse e.Action = Syncfusion.Schedule.ItemAction.TimeDrag OrElse grid.ReadOnly Then   
        e.Cancel = True   
    End If   
End Sub   
It is possible to assign an id to each task in the calendar and when clicking double click on it, get the id?   
You can create a custom AppointmentForm to store the id value and display the appointment on cell double click. And you can retrieve the values of current item when the AppointmentForm is displayed by using the item property in the ShowingAppointmentForm event. Please refer to the below KB to create a custom AppointmentForm.   
   
Is it possible to modify the form that opens when double clicking?   
how to change the language of the days of the week?   
   
The culture info for the Schedule control can be set to localize the week days by using the Culture property. Please make use of the below code,   
   
Code example   
   
‘Culture for Spanish - Spain   
‘Please refer the below link:   
‘To localize the week/month   
Me.scheduleControl1.Culture = new CultureInfo("es-ES");   
   
How to hide the number of the week?   
The calendar in the schedule control is loaded as GridControl which can be retrieved from the CalendarGrid of the NavigationCalendar. Moreover, the HidCols property can be used to hide the columns based on index. Please make use of the below code,   
   
Code example   
   
'To hide the count of weeks   
Me.scheduleControl1.GetScheduleHost().Calendar.CalenderGrid.HideCols(1) = True   
In the menu that opens with right click it is possible to suppress all except day, work week, week and month? Can be translated?   
By default, the default strings of Schedule control will be retrieved from the DisplayStrings collection of ScheduleGrid (i.e. the “no closing delimiter error”, “From”, “To”).  In order to localize the strings, the DisplayStrings static property of ScheduleGrid can be used. Please refer to the below code and sample,   
   
Code example    
//Custom string fro Delete Item of schedule control    
ScheduleGrid.DisplayStrings(12) = "apagar item";    
    
Note   
   
The following is the definition for DisplayStrings array. You can specify the array index for default strings that has to be localized or changed.    
//Default strings    
public static string[] DisplayStrings = new string[]    
                                                                                    {              
                                "no closing delimiter error",     
                                "(none)",    
                                "Week starting ",    
                                "Starting ",      
                                " Double Click to Add All Day Event",    
                                "To ",    
                                "From ",    
                                "Remove this appointment?",    
                                "Remove Appointment",    
                                "&New Item",    
                                "New &All Day item",    
                                "&Edit Item",    
                                "De&lete Item",    
                                "&Day",    
                                "&Work Week",    
                                "Wee&k",    
                                "&Month",    
                                "Click to switch to Day view",    
                                "Click for more Appoinments."    
                                                };    
   
Finally, you can modify the elements of the "show time as" list?   
The Schedule control does not have the direct support to modify the items of “Show time as” combo box. This can be achieved by overriding the InitLists() method of IScheduleDataProvider and adding the values to the list. Please refer to the below code and sample,   
   
Code example   
   
Public Overrides Sub InitLists()   
            MyBase.InitLists()   
            'To change the items of Show time as   
            markerList = New ListObjectList()   
            markerList.Add(New ListObject(0, "Livre", Color.FromArgb(50, Color.RoyalBlue))) '//same as noMarkColor   
            markerList.Add(New ListObject(1, "Tentativa", Color.FromArgb(255, 206, 206)))   
            markerList.Add(New ListObject(2, "Ocupado", Color.FromArgb(0, 0, 242)))   
            markerList.Add(New ListObject(3,"Fora do escritório", Color.FromArgb(128, 0, 64)))   
End Sub

I tried what he says about ScheduleGrid.DisplayStrings (12) = "Shutdown" the case is that I do not want to change the name I want to delete them, that the button is not visible.

Hi Andrés, 
 
Thanks for your update. 
 
We could understand your scenario. The menu items are added as ContextMenu of the Schedule control. In order to hide/remove the items of ScheduleGrid context menu, the ScheduleAppointmentClick event can be used. In that event, the item can be hidden by using the Visible property of MenuItems collection based on the index. Please make use of the below code, 
 
Code example 
 
'Event triggering 
AddHandler scheduleControl1.ScheduleAppointmentClick, AddressOf ScheduleControl1_ScheduleAppointmentClick 
 
'Event customization 
Private Sub ScheduleControl1_ScheduleAppointmentClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As ScheduleAppointmentClickEventArgs) 
    If e.ClickType = ScheduleAppointmentClickType.RightClick AndAlso scheduleControl1.GetScheduleHost().ContextMenu IsNot Nothing Then 
        'To remove the "NewItem" menu item from the context menu. 
        scheduleControl1.GetScheduleHost().ContextMenu.MenuItems(0).Visible = False 
    End If 
 
 
Please let us know, if you need further assistance on this.

Arulpriya

1. I have tried the code that exposes me but it still does not work, the elements of the menu keep appearing, also watch your demo and keep appearing as you can see in the image:




2. I have seen that the small calendar does not appear on Monday See image:




3. How is this literal changed? View image

Hi Andrés,  
  
Sorry for the inconvenience.  
  
Query  
Response  
1. I have tried the code that exposes me but it still does not work, the elements of the menu keep appearing, also watch your demo and keep appearing as you can see in the image:  
As per the Schedule control current support, the ContectMenu contains 8 items and 2 toolstripseperator to provide the better look and feel. Please find the order to ContextMenu items of ScheduleControl,  
  
public ContextMenuStrip MetroContextMenu()  
        {  
            ContextMenuStrip menu = new ContextMenuStrip();  
            menu.Items.Add(New_Item);  
            menu.Items.Add(New_All_Day_item);  
            menu.Items.Add(ToolStripSeparator1);  
            menu.Items.Add(Edit_Item);  
            menu.Items.Add(Delete_Item);  
            menu.Items.Add(ToolStripSeparator2);  
            menu.Items.Add(Day);  
            menu.Items.Add(Work_Week);  
            menu.Items.Add(Week);  
            menu.Items.Add(Month);  
       }  
 
So, the items can be hidden based on the index of the item by using the below code,  
  
Code example  
  
'Event customization   
Private Sub ScheduleControl1_ScheduleAppointmentClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal eAs ScheduleAppointmentClickEventArgs)   
    If e.ClickType = ScheduleAppointmentClickType.RightClick AndAlsoscheduleControl1.GetScheduleHost().ContextMenu IsNot Nothing Then   
        'To remove the "WeekView" menu item from the context menu.   
        scheduleControl1.GetScheduleHost().ContextMenu.MenuItems(7).Visible = False   
    End If   
  
2. I have seen that the small calendar does not appear on Monday See image:  
We have analyzed your scenario and hiding the 1st column hides Monday in the navigation calendar since the CalendarGrid starts from Monday and ends at Sunday. Moreover, the ScheduleGrid has the direct support to hide the number of weeks in the NavigationCalendar by using the ShowWeekNumbers property. Please refer to the below code,  
  
Code example  
  
'To hide the count of weeks  
Me.scheduleControl1.GetScheduleHost().Calendar.ShowWeekNumbers = False  
  
3. How is this literal changed? View image  
As we updated earlier to localize the “Week Starting” string of schedule control, the DisplayStrings collection of ScheduleGrid can be used based on the index. So, provide the proper index of the string in the DisplayStrings collection to the ScheduleGrid.DisplayStrings()collection. Moreover, the strings are added in the collection based on the below order,  
  
//Default strings      
public static string[] DisplayStrings = new string[] {  
_no_closing_delimiter_error = 0;  
_none = 1;  
_week_starting = 2;  
_starting = 3;  
_Double_Click_to_Add_All_Day_Event = 4;  
_To = 5;  
_From = 6;  
_Remove_this_appointment = 7;  
_Remove_Appointment = 8;  
_New_Item = 9;  
_New_All_Day_item = 10;  
_Edit_Item = 11;  
_Delete_Item = 12;  
_Day = 13;  
_Work_Week = 14;  
_Week = 15;  
_Month = 16;  
_Click_to_switch_to_Day_view = 17;  
_Click_for_more_Appoinments = 18;  
};   
  
Code example  
  
'To localize the "Week starting" string  
ScheduleGrid.DisplayStrings(2) = "semana iniciando "

Please let us know your use case elaborately, if we misunderstood your scenario.

Thank you very much for your patience, I only have two problems I have marked the image with numbers:

1. I have tried with its code to modify the literal but it still does not appear correctly it leaves "29 29e enero" when the correct thing would have to be "29 de enero", is it some translation failure?

2. From this painting I have managed to remove the letters, but I have tried with your guide the code to remove it and it does not work for me, maybe it does not work with the metro style?

We have analyzed the reported scenario at our end. As per our ScheduleControl current support, the Culture will be applied based on the format of the WeekHeaderFormat and the format of the “d” will be replaced with the date. So that, the reported scenario occurred and to overcome this issue, the format can be set as “MMMM dd” by using the WeekHeaderFormat property. Please refer to the below code, 
 
Code example 
 
'To localize the week/month 
Me.scheduleControl1.Culture = New CultureInfo("es-ES") 
'To set the format for the header 
Me.scheduleControl1.Appearance.WeekHeaderFormat = "MMMM dd" 
 
2. From this painting I have managed to remove the letters, but I have tried with your guide the code to remove it and it does not work for me, maybe it does not work with the metro style? 
By default, the “Double Click to Add All Day Event” will be added in the top row of the navigation calendar hiding the row is working fine at our end. So, we are unable to understand your use case clearly and suspect that you have set the display string for “Double Click to Add All Day Event” as empty string by using the DisplayStrings collection. If you want to hide the entire row, please refer to the below KB link, 
 
 
Note 
Please let us know your exact requirement in a elaborated way, if we misunderstood your scenario. So, that we could provide you an optimal solution at the earliest.
