I would like to have more than one calendar event display on the home screen (on my mpx-220). I've edited the xml file to make space, but I can't find a plugin to pull the next calendar event. Can this be done? Suggestions?

Cheers.

Ummm...maybe wait patiently for more than 24 hours for someone to respond?

Just kidding with you, cv. But seriously, it sometimes takes a couple of days for posters to get a response to technical questions.

I wish I could help, but it's outside of my area of expertise. Hopefully this bump will help stimulate a reply. Good luck.

I could be totally off here but....

How does the XML call the initial calendar event? Can you edit that source to make it display the next few days?

I'm new to the mpx220, so like i said i could be totally off and I"m at work so I can't get access to much as far as the phone goes

The home screen xml just calls the plugin and formatting. I read on another forum that the plugin is hardcoded for one day.

There is another scheme with the mpx220 called "Windows Default." That plugin includes a plugin to show 1 all day event, above the single calendar event. If the event is "all day" for more than one day, it only shows on the first day.

The only other option I've found it to purchase a third party plugin from someone like Handango.

Has anyone found a list of plugins available? I haven't found one on msdn.

Here is a document that I found on MSDN that has the plugin information in it (along with lots of other info about customizing the Home Screen).

Thanks Kmattoo, I saw that plugin, but I'm hoping for (and would think others too would want) something similar to the ppc phone edition that would show a list of the days events, rather than scrolling. Anyhow, thanks for the reply.

Dchester, thanks for the links. That's really helpful. I may have to shake off the programming cobwebs and give the plugin programming a shot. Thanks again.
