I recently purchased the calendar pro. Our medical practice uses the "schedule" calendar almost exclusively, and we really have no need for the day or month views, as we almost always have 50-100 events per day, in 10-20 different resources.

Is there a way you would suggest disabling those views that we don't use, or delete them? Are there scripts I should clean out as well to keep the program pared down?

Thanks for any advice.

Hi.

So it may be prudent to hid the other tabs rather than deleting them. Making schedule the default tab and hiding the others won't give you any performance penalty. Similarly, removing the code that supports the other tabs isn't necessary as you won't feel it if they aren't drawing (and I imagine such code removal would invariably leave the software more fragile).

So, to hide the other tabs, take a look at the technique we're already using to cover them:

The idea here is that a single tab object can cover any number of tabs on another object. Our covering tab happens to contain a bunch of buttons: yours won't: it will just have some gray or a graphic to mask out what's going on below.

A couple other things to consider. After making schedule the default, you likely won't need to get to the other tabs in layout mode, so you could make their tab names just spaces, making the whole set of tabs you need to hide something much smaller.

If you do want to delete the unused tabs, you can just delete them from the tab controller; but I think someone will come back and ask for a different view one of these days...

Hope that helps.
