Customize appointment contents in Metro

[Eric]

We have need to customize the appointment contents in the ScheduleView.  We have done so successfully on the Office Black theme, but would prefer to do so using the Metro theme.  As I understand it, we would need to have the "source" resource dictionaries from Metro for the ScheduleView control but they are not installed with the 2011 Q2 release.  Is there a way to extract them using Blend?  Alternatively, can they be downloaded from somewhere?

Hi Eric,

I am attaching the ScheduleView.xaml for the Metro theme. I hope you could use it.

Thank you for this, but there seems to be an issue.  The compiler is complaining about two missing references (local:NullToBooleanConverter and local:GroupHeaderButton).  "local" is mapped to
"clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.ScheduleView" of course.

I am using what I believe to be the latest version of the assemblies (version 2011 2.712.1040)...is it possible this resource dictionary is from a newer, as yet unreleased, version of the control?

Also, is it possible to get the Metro theme for the GridView as well?  We are customizing the behavior there too.

Hi Eric,

I guess that was the problem indeed. This GroupHeaderButton should be available already in internal builds. I thought I got the styles from the official release but I guess I was wrong.

You could use the Beta tool Telerik Just Decompiler or the now payed Reflector to open the Metro theme assembly. The XAML files are inside as resources. You should be able to literally right-click save them.

You can find the XAML files of RadScheduleView and RadGridView attached.

All the best,
