See next 3 appointments on first page? - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

The tough question for the week:
Normally, on the start-page, the date/time and text for the next "upcoming appointment" is displayed. 1 appointment (if any entered in the Calendar) is potentially visible.
BUT if you have three meetings right after each other, you can get an unpleasant surprise from forgotten meetings suddently appearing with no time to prepare - unless, that is, if you take the effort to go into the calendar function and check the next couple of days. But thats not practical.
Wouldn't it be nice if you could choose to display the next 1, 2 or 3 appointments (just 1 line each) REGARDSLESS of how many days before they occur - without having to enter the Calendar and click though the days/weeks?
IS THAT POSSIBLE????
Best Regards

Calendar / birthday help

Is there an easy way to enter someone's birthday date? Currently I have to scroll back through the years (cause default date is today) until I reach the date I'm after. Another thing is that when I do this from my ppc, I can't seem to be able to set an alarm, but the option's there in outlook. Finally, is there a way to search the calendar, was trying to find a certain apointment the other day, but couldn't remember the date so had to scroll through loads of days to find it. Thanks.
Entering a birthdate is as easy as editing the contact and in the field: Birthdate just enter the day month and year...
I am sorry, but the second thing: Searching for dates. I can't help you with that!

monthly calendar Today Plugin with appointments?

Is there a Today plugin will display the monthly view of a calendar with color coding or other indicators for appointments for each day?
I know rltoday can display a monthly calendar but last I check it doesn't have any way of signifying if there is an appointment for that day.
dunno if I understood your request, but I use SPB Diary
not sure about a plugin that can just display the monthly view... but I do know that tapping the calendar icon in Pocketbreeze will popup a month calendar that shows dots for appointments.
Sorry, that is about as much help as I can be.

PocketBreeze has a 'pinned' calendar and a pop-up calendar. The pinned calendar shows the entire month on the Today Screen, but does not show the appointment timeslots on the calendar.
The pop-up calendar will show the timeslots, but it's only displayed when you select it.
In my screen captures, I have iLauncher at the top and PocketBreeze below.
Most of my appointments are 'free' so they don't display on the pop-up calendar.
Maybe someone in the SBSH PocketBreeze forum will know more about the product. http://forums.sbsh.net/index.php?showforum=7
I am looking for a plugin that displays the monthly calendar with some sort of coding (different color, etc.) that tells me when I have an appointment at a quick glance. But I wanted this on the today screen, without having to press anything to pop up. It doesn't have to show as much detail as that pop up calendar on pocketbreeze, but maybe just to le tme know that I have something going on that day displayed as a different color.
How's your Japanese?
This super-small plug-in does what you want I think. It gives you a calendar on your today screen and adds a plus next to any day you have appointments.
Problem is that it is only in Japanese. However, the options on it are very minimal and if you play with it a little then you can know what all the menus are saying without actually being able to read them.
How's your Japanese?
Double-posted so I'll slide you a screenshot. The screenshot is old, but it works on WM6 - I just tested it.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Anyway to have it translated?
Someone posted earlier an alpha version of a new app they made that I believe is a plugin let me check
Not easily. At least, not easily for me.

Month View Doesn't Show All day Events

I entered all family birthdays in Outlook but I don't see anything showing in the calendar on the Touch in the month view.
They show up in the day view.
Any way to configure it to show these events in the month view?
I was having the same problem. My Tilt used to show them but all of a sudden it stopped. I read in another post that if you set the event as busy it will show up, I tried it and it worked! Hope this helps! Credit goes to: hongsit
Items marked as Free do not show on the month view. Items marked as tentative show on the month view. Items marked as busy show on the month view and if your profile is set to automatic will change the profile automatically to meeting during the times the appointments are set and back to normal thereafter.
This is standard WM functionality.
Well, I just tested it and it works!
Exactly what I was looking for. I've even been looking at purchasing a program that could do just that but hadn't found one.
It's perfect! I can only wonder how many "hidden" tricks Outlook has up its sleeve.
Thanks so much for the info.

Calender Issues for recurring appointments

I have been trying to enter birthday as an all day and recurring appointment.
When you do this for the month that it is (ie. if i do it for december atm). Its fine. When I try to jump forward to January and set another 'all day' and recurring appointment (recurring on the same day every year), nothing happens after I press the 'done' softkey (I mean it goes to the day screen, but has no appointment added). I can only make an appointment if i do it as an 'all day' and 'does not repeat' and then go back and edit it to be recurring. Bit of a pain when you want enter birthdays for the year ahead.
Anyone got this problem or know a solution?
Tks
i have this issue as well i did let htc know about it with a long list if other problems. they then started investigating the sms problems and now they have "enough data" for a hotfix they want to close the ticket, not sure though if they meant to fix this issue as well.
As for a workaround make a non-repeating appointment, fill in all data as you want it but just a single appointment save it then edit it to make it repeating, worked for me at least.
Thanks mate
I gathered the way to get round it but it just another thing that seems not to work properly on this phone. I so want to believe its a good phone but I keep finding these bugs which make me lose faith. Anyhow, my 14 day returns ran out today so I'm stuck with it for the next 18 months! HTC and wm7 better sort it out.
I hear that, I'm in the same situation, however I don't think I would take it back overall it is a nice piece of kit just too many bugs. been thinking about getting a no hassle replacement but I really don't think it'd do anything, just need to wait for htc to do the patches, then for wm7
I have taken to using the WM 6.5 calendar when adding or editing things. This is not a WM 6.5 issue it is an issue with the Sense UI calendar. Go to Start -> outlook folder-> calendar. You get much better functionality its just not as finger friendly or pretty.
Weird thing is that when you try to enter these 'all day, yearly recurring events' nothing happens in the sense UI calender nor the outlook calender (having entered via the sense UI calender), but if you sync with my phone you get all the phantom events in that calender!

Change calendar notification period in manila

Hi, have tried to search for this, but to no avail. Does anyone know of a way to extend the warning in manila of upcoming calendar events from 1 day as it stands to say 3 days? The standard windows homescreen shows events for the upcoming week but its only one day in manila. Anyone any idea?
I would like this as well, I have an appointment Wednesday but won't be able to see it on HOME TODAY screen till tomorrow, ideally I would like to see the next appointment.
