Unclear question, what do you want to achieve? Do you want the VF page to set some default values for your two required fields upon sobject creation? Do you want to replace the standard view-layout of an object with a VF page that hides certain fields? – Martin Peters Jan 2 at 16:25

A Salesforce Event happens at a particular time and date, and has a duration in minutes. If you set the Start Datetime and Duration, the End Datetime will be filled in, and if you set Start and End, Duration will be filled in. However, you can't create an Event without specifying this information in some way. If you don't want to display it on the page, you could write a custom controller extension that sets these values "behind the scenes".

However, I don't understand why you would create an Event that doesn't happen at a particular time, so it may be that I'm missing something.

i created a date custom field and for time i created a picklist. I'm placing these custom field on vf page. so i dont need those Standard fields as u said can you plz provied me the sample with controller extension to set values behind – rakesh Jan 2 at 17:35
I see, you need to convert between the custom field and the standard datetime field. I suggest you give it a try writing a controller extension based on the Event standard controller. If you have trouble with the extension, post your code here with a new question and we'll help as we can. – Jeremy Nottingham Jan 2 at 17:41
