Hi Ortwin,

Really nice work! Aesthetically pleasing and wonderfully simple and elegant.

That was my understanding as you can only copy an object into the library and 
the object method attached. My first attempt was a component but I haven’t been 
able to figure out yet how to show the form in the host yet.

Good news is that I have a fully functional calendar already ready to go.

Yea I‘m using these commands for dynamically switching forms on the fly. Works 
really well! So I’ll investigate further.

Appreciate your guidance,
John...
