With MDK for Windows 4.1, we introduced several new capabilities that bring the Windows client closer to the experience available on other MDK platforms. One of these additions is the new Calendar Control, which enables customers to build calendar-based user experiences in their Windows applications.

MDK for Windows 4.1 was designed as an MDK-only release, without a corresponding SAP Service and Asset Manager (SSAM) for Windows 4.1 release. Customers using SSAM for Windows 4.0 can nevertheless take advantage of the new MDK capabilities when building a custom client. The prerequisite is an existing SSAM for Windows 4.0 custom build, where the MDK for Windows dependency is upgraded from version 4.0 to 4.1.

Once the custom client is built with MDK for Windows 4.1, the Calendar Control becomes available for use. Since the control is provided by the MDK SDK and is not part of the standard SSAM for Windows 4.0 application, it needs to be integrated into the customer's custom application.

In this blog post, we will walk through a practical example and show how the new Calendar Control can be integrated into a custom SSAM for Windows 4.0 client using MDK for Windows 4.1.
