      Indicates whether the widget accepts keyboard focus.
    - "getDayColor"
      Returns the color of a scheduler ewo time bar.
    - "getDayText"
      Returns the title (text) of a specific day.
    - "getRangeColor"
      Returns the rangeColor of a scheduler time range (time bar).
    - "getRangeData"
      Returns the range data of a scheduler time range (time bar).
    - "getRangeDay"
      Returns the range day of a scheduler time range (time bar).
    - "getRangeEnd"
      Returns the range end of a scheduler time range (time bar).
    - "getRangeReadOnly";
      Returns either TRUE (a scheduler time range is read only) or FALSE (it is not read only).
    - "getRangeStart"
      Returns the range start of a scheduler time range (time bar).
    - "getRangeText"
      Returns the range text of a scheduler time range (time bar).
    - "header"
      Sets the header of a scheduler.ewo.
    - "inhibitOverlap"
      If this function is set to TRUE it prevents two overlapping time bars to be created.
    - "isActiveWindow"
      The attribute "isActiveWindow"; returns TRUE if this widget is the active window, otherwise FALSE.
    - "numDays";
      Sets the number of days for a scheduler ewo.
    - "numRanges";
      Returns the number of time ranges (time bar) for a scheduler ewo.
    - "ownCursor";
      The attribute "ownCursor" returns TRUE if an object (for example a textEdit, a tree widget, a slider, a zoom navigator or a thumb wheel) uses its own cursor. If the value is FALSE, the object uses its parent widget`s cursor.
    - "ownFont";
      The attribute "ownFont"; returns TRUE if an object (for example, a textEdit, a slider, a zoom navigator or a tree widget) uses its own font. If the value is FALSE, the object uses its parent widget`s font.
