I am developing a desktop app for Windows/Mac and want to show a Google Calendar on the side of the main window inside a webview control. Implementing a native calendar is not cost-effective at the moment so using the webview to show the users google calendar is a good option.
The result I would like to achiveve should be similar to what the web versions of Gmail/Drive etc offer when expanding the right - sidebar (see screenshot).
After inspecting the above webpage, google is using an iframe to show the side view. Unfortunately the URL used by this iframe is quite cryptic (with no documentation that I could find) and can't be used directly in a webview or outside of it's parent page (as far as I can tell).
Alternatively, just loading the mobile version of https://www.google.com/calendar/gp would seem as the go-to approach, but this version of the calendar web interface seems to be from 2010 and looks like it was designed for iPhone 3G :P (see screenshot). There does not seem to be any updated mobile web version as far as I can tell.
Loading the desktop version of google calendar (which has the updated design) does not fit in the required width (see screenshot below).
Is there any way I can load a google calendar so that it has no side menus, only a day view (designed for a tall and thin viewport) and that is not using a 2010 skin? Maybe there is some elusive documentation on how url query string params can be configured?
