)

Parameters

owner (Form): The top-level window that will own the modal dialog box.

Remarks

You can display a PimItem only immediately after creating it or reading it from the object store. The forms used are the same as those used in the built in Calendar, Contacts and Tasks application:-

Appointment - Contact - Task

For platforms where this method is not supported the alternative is to manually create your own dialog with the fields you wish to display, saving any changes back to the PimItem afterwards.
