Overview

An EKEventViewController object displays the details of a calendar event. You can set whether users are allowed to edit the event. If the event is an invitation, where the organizer is not the user, you can set whether a calendar preview is shown.

You need to assign a delegate to an EKEventViewController object to receive a notification when the view controller should be closed. The delegate must conform to the EKEventViewDelegate protocol.
