Calendar region

So far in this book we have seen how calendars are used by the Date Picker item type to enter dates in forms. But how can we display date entries in a calendar format? To do this, APEX provides a calendar region, which enables date information from a database table to be rendered in a calendar format. In the calendar region, we specify both a date and description column from a database table. This determines what is displayed in the calendar, and where. For each entry in the calendar, we can create a link to other pages in our application. By adding links, we can create a drill down capability to view additional information for the entry.

By default, a calendar region can be rendered in different views, including monthly, weekly, and daily. The monthly view displays a calendar entry for each day in a month. We can also display a weekly or daily view of the calendar, where entries can be displayed against each hour of the day for an entire week or an individual day.
