Changing background color for each appointment in radscheduler

[good]

Can I change the background color of the appointment according to my database info.

 

For example:

 

If am having several category

Category 1

Category 2

Category 3

Category 4

 

I want category 1 appointment in the scheduler to be blue\

Category 2 green

Category 3 red

Category 4 yellow

 

By the way am just retrieving the data from my database.

 

Thanks in advance

Hi good,

Thank you for writing.

You are able to add your own background in the Backgrounds collection of the RadScheduler. Each background info has an Id property that should be unique. If you create an appointment and set its BackgroundId property to your custom background, the appointment will be painted in the colors of the custom background. You can find the available documentation about this topic here.

If you have other related questions, feel free to write back.

Hello Khalid,

Thank you for writing.

AppointmentElement's back color is determined by the selected Background. However, in order to customize the color, you can use the AppointmentFormatting event and specify what is the desired color:

private void radScheduler1_AppointmentFormatting(object sender, SchedulerAppointmentEventArgs e)
{
    e.AppointmentElement.DrawFill = true;
    e.AppointmentElement.BackColor = Color.Aqua;
    e.AppointmentElement.GradientStyle = Telerik.WinControls.GradientStyles.Solid;
}

I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions I would be glad to help.

Hi 
I have got problem to retrieve appointment background color, every time I save an appointment it's background color change to default value. I am also sure that the mapping is right because the background ID is saved correctly. Could you please help me with this problem.

Hello Aref,

Thank you for writing.

The SchedulerMapping class is responsible for mapping a single property from the data source to a property, which allows you to specify convert callback methods in order to convert values to and from the data source if needed. Please refer to the following help article which demonstrates how to convert the BackgroundId from database: http://www.telerik.com/help/winforms/scheduler-data-binding-scheduler-mapping.html

I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions I would be glad to help.

Dear Dess
Thanks for your reply but my problem still remains, I create those functions but when I load my scheduler appointments, their background color are set to None, I should mentioned that I put those functions on my form constructor's and  when I save appointments they background are correct.

Dear Dess
I should edit my last post that I put recalling to those functions in my form constructor's and load event.
