Customize Calendar Appointment Preview (popout) in Outlook 2013 with c# - calendar

Is there any way to customize (or replace) the box that displays details of a particular appoint as you scroll over it in the Calendar Explorer of Outlook 2013.
I am trying to display one of the additional custom properties (formatted) to give a visual queue of the status of an item without having to open it up in it's Inspector and navigate to the custom form region that provides the UI.
I have created form regions, and used RibbonXML at a very rudimentary level, but couldn't see a way to do this using either of those approaches.
Thanks in advance

Outlook - Create a custom button to open up a Pane when New meeting is being created

I have a requirement to create a task pane when a New Meeting button in outlook is clicked with React Js.
I am new to the Outlook add-in development.
So any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Outlook web add-ins work under the currently selected item in Outlook. If you need to create a custom ribbon button which opens a task pane - that is a supported scenario. Read more about that in the Add-in commands for Outlook article.

What you want to do in your screenshot cannot be done at this time with Office Web Add-ins. The enabled/disabled status of buttons cannot be changed at run time and the names of buttons cannot be changed at runtime. Microsoft is working on adding that feature.

"Form region" for calendar views in outlook add-in

Overview: I would like to show a "form region" when calendar is selected in Outlook. I also would like to show some custom HTML content in the reading pane (or any pane like task pane adjacent to main calendar pane).
Questions:
Are API add-ins allowed for Calendar views in Outlook?
Are & custom form regions allowed for Calendar views in Outlook?
Would it be possible to show Custom form region here in Calendar's reading pane when no specific time is selected in the calendar?
Would it be possible to show Custom form region here in Calendar's reading pane when specific appointment type is selected in the calendar?
Create a task pane instead - see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa942864.aspx and https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb296010.aspx.
Takes panes can be displayed both in explorers (that is what you need) and inspectors (similar to form regions).
Unfortunately it's currently not possible to open an Outlook Add-In in 'Calendar/meeting view' using the 'new' office add-in model. It's only possible to open it in Mail Read or Compose mode and Appointment/meeting Read or Compose mode where a single item is opened. Maybe you could create a UserVoice for this?

How to make a wpf user control containing several user controls

I have created a WPF User control library. It has by default 1 user control in it. I added two more user controls on it. Added next back button to everycontrol. Now I am stuck here. What should I do to navigate from one user control to another? Can I do that in MVVM pattern? if yes then how?
Try downloading Telerik trial pack, they have a demo app (with source) that allows to browse their control. An once you have that demo app you can switch the user control dll in background when an update occurs.

What is the difference between "User Control" and "Page" in Silverlight?

I am really new to Silverlight. I am working through some of the sample codes I found online.
I notices sometimes a new "Page" is added, and sometimes a new "User Control" is added.What are the differences between those 2?
Btw, when I tried specifying the URL for a hyperlink as "www.apple.com", there is an error saying "www.apple.com" can not be found. Are there anyway of specifying an URL for a website for a HyperlinkButton?
Thanks :)
In SL3 and up; a Page correlates to the Navigation framework whereas a UserControl is a control providing a defined set of functionality using multiple controls which can then be used within a Page.
User Control:
When you build your project , any user control that you created will appear in the toolbox also. You can drag and drop it like any other control (like a button or a grid).User controls are used for enhanced flexibility. You can customize your controls, set as many properties you want , and it really simplifies things without going for creating custom controls.
Page:
However, when you come to a Page, you can use it mostly for Navigation . It can contain other controls , but it is mainly intended for Navigation within Frames.
