Is it possible to develop an online calendar, if a user clicks on 'Import', all the events should automatically get imported into outlook or iCal?
Importing data into Outlook or iCal can be done using a suitable export format. Direct import would require writing a browser plugin, it's possible but probably not feasible.
More or less. Certainly you can provide data in the standard iCal format (and it is used to nice effect on http://conferences.yapceurope.org — having selected which talks you wish to attend at a multitrack conference, it will generate a custom iCal file for you).
That works with Google Calendar and with Apple iCal. I have no idea what Microsoft Outlook supports.

There is a huge problem with documentation for Microsoft Graph where only set up of initial project is described. Where could I check documentation with examples of how to use Microsoft Graph SDK for example for adding extension property to user or group?
AFAIK, Microsoft provides two ways to add custom data to resources using extensions, open extensions and schema extensions.
Open extensions is the recommended solution for most scenarios involving storing and accessing custom data. If, however, you need to access custom data for Outlook MAPI properties that are not already exposed through the Microsoft Graph API metadata, you can use extended properties and its REST API. You can verify which properties the metadata exposes at https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata.
More detail about the difference about these two scenarios you can refer this link.
And based on the test, I am not able to find the corresponding method for create an open extensions or sechma extensions using the latest version of Microsoft Graph SDK. I suggest that you using the REST as a workaround. And for the detailed of request, you can follow the links below:
Add custom data to users using open extensions
Add custom data to groups using schema extensions
We are busy adding open and schema extension functionality to the SDKs, and we'll come back to this thread when the SDKs are updated. You can also find SDK info and instructions and basic documentation from here. In general we only fully document our REST APIs - the SDKs follow a very similar addressing pattern to the REST APIs, and individual SDK documentation may call out particular scenarios like how to page through collections using the SDK.
We'd love to hear more from you on your documentation and SDK requirements, if this doesn't meet your needs.
(Also please ignore the highlighted text in the last answer - this text needs to be fixed and is more targeted to the Outlook resources like messages and events.)
Hope this helps,
I want to create a fillable user form than user can download that form then fill the form and upload it. When user upload i'll extract the data and save in database using angularjs.
You can check this link to create a form in java-script:

Check this already created thread to download and upload a file in angular JS:

Angularjs simple file download
You can create a PDF that contains a form in many different ways :
use Adobe Acrobat or other creation tools that have a graphical user interface
use an SDK that supports creating PDF forms programmatically
create an HTML form and convert it to PDF
Pick one that works for you and go with it, there doesn't have to be programming involved with that piece at all unless you want there to be. Just please don't use XFA forms, stick with Acroforms (for further info check out Wikipedia for the differences between XFA and Acroforms).
Distributing PDFs that contain forms
When distributing PDFs that contain forms though, you need to understand that forms have spotty support in various PDF viewing applications. Apple's Preview tends to damage PDFs that contain forms that use JavaScript. Web browsers are hit or miss on how much interaction they support with PDF forms. Adobe Reader (the free PDF viewing application from Adobe) allows users to fill in a form and restricts the users ability to save that filled in form, see next section for more info. Adobe Acrobat (the paid PDF viewing/editing application from Adobe) allows users to fill in and save a PDF that contains a form.
Reader Enablement/Reader Extensions
In the Adobe PDF ecosystem, there is a line drawn between what is supported in Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat. Unfortunately forms got the short end of the stick and are best supported out of the box in Adobe Acrobat which means users of the form have to have Adobe Acrobat which costs money. To remedy this, Adobe came up with a way to enable this functionality in Adobe Reader and move the cost from the end user to whoever is distributing the form referred to either as Reader Extensions or Reader Enablement.
(This is how the IRS in the United States is able to distribute PDFs that contain forms and not require that everyone who files taxes in the US needs to have Adobe Acrobat to use the electronic forms.)
If you are distributing a PDF that contains a form that you would like your users to be able to fill in without requiring the use of Adobe Acrobat (the paid one), then you will need to Reader Enable/Reader Extend the PDF. Read through the Adobe help page on this and take careful note of which version of Adobe Acrobat supports what. Hidden in the EULA for Adobe Acrobat is or used to be a line that restricted the number of forms that could be Reader Enabled/Reader Extended or the number of people you could distribute the forms to.
If this is a large scale type situation, then get in contact with someone who can sell you a license to support what you need.
I have an online booking system for my small business.
I would like to have the reservations of these bookings to be sent to my desktop calendar and added automatically.
First question: is this possible?
At the moment I am using outlook 2010 on an apple. There you have the possibility of adding colors to appointments.
Second question: is it possible to add these colors automatically to the file that is being sent from the website?
Third question: I want to get rid of Parallels on my apple. Are there professional calendar applications that have the same possibilities as outlook 2010?
Thanks,
Mark
ideally your online booking system would issue an ics feed (possibly with an 'obscured/private' url) - ask them if they do (some do). Then you could subscribe to that ics feed in outlook and have it visible as a separate calendar to your main personal but seeing both at the same time. If the booking system feed has categories for the events these would be in the ics feed and some calendar applications might use these when displaying events.
I don't know anything about parallels and apple. It would be better to split different questions into separate posts.
Is there a way to have your Android native app or Mirror API app bypass default gestures, such as touch-hold does not load the Google search screen?
No, although a better response might be, not yet. The Glass Development Kit (GDK) described at I/O 2013 didn't mention this capability, but it still may show up.
Unfortunately, at this time, it's speculation as to what the GDK will contain or what the Mirror API may evolve into.
It may be worth looking through the existing issues (or even entering an issue yourself) to see if what you're looking for has been requested as a feature enhancement.
first of all, please excuse my ignorance, this is an exploratory question, rather than a specific programming program that needs solving.
I have a number of clients that have unique websites, none of which I was involved in developing. I would like them to be able to display a calendar of common events, but which would also contain events unique to them.
Is it possible using something like Server Side Includes to be able to give them a few lines of code which they could insert into their website (on any particular page) which might display a calendar type display, which their users can then interact with?
I guess I am looking for something similar to a Google calendar but I do not want to use a Google calendar. The key thing would be that they would only need to insert the few lines of code on one of their webpages; they wouldn't have to install any software on their servers.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Damien
There are are all sorts of web calendars that will allow you to include them on a web page (typically using javascript, not SSI). Some are targeted at specific platforms (ie, Wordpress) and some are more generic.
Try searching "web calendar widget" for examples.
You'd have to put some amount of content on their site. If you can do that, you can include some javascript that will load more javascript from the server side that can do the bulk of the calendaring work for you.
You wouldn't be able to just drop a few files on the server and have them work, you'd need some way to link to them by changing the existing content on at least one of the pages.
I may be misunderstanding your question though.
If you are looking for specific recommendations on web calendar widgets, Arshaw's fullcalendar is my favorite to date.
It displays a great calendar that can be easily styled with css or jquery ui themeroller and is very programmable. The website has great documentation and examples as well.
Per using it on different sites, it supports that easily.
Note, I'm not affiliated with that calendar at all, just a satisfied customer.
