How to highlight weekends in timeline view using SpecialSlots

[Jiri]

Hi all,

I am playing with demo examples specifically with SpecialSlots project, but I am unable to set weekends highlited. I changed view to timeline:

<telerik:RadScheduleView.ActiveViewDefinition>
    <telerik:TimelineViewDefinition />
    <!--<telerik:WeekViewDefinition StretchGroupHeaders="True" FirstDayOfWeek="Monday" VisibleDays="5" />-->
</telerik:RadScheduleView.ActiveViewDefinition>

and changed function CreateReadOnlySlot() to fit my needs:

private Slot CreateReadOnlySlot()
{
   Slot slot = new Slot();
   slot.Start = new DateTime(2013,11,9);
   slot.End = new DateTime(2013, 11, 10); 
   slot.RecurrencePattern = new RecurrencePattern(null, RecurrenceDays.Saturday | RecurrenceDays.Sunday, RecurrenceFrequency.Weekly, 1, null, null);
   slot.Resources.Add(new Resource("Team", "Calendar"));
 
   return slot;
}

but there is no highlighting in result. So how to set it ? Is It needed to set Start and End when I want to set recurrence for every weekend?

Thanks

Hi Jiri,

You also need a custom SpecialSlotStyleSelector with the required template in order to change their appearance. Please check the Special and ReadOnly slots article from our online help documentation. For you convenience I prepared a sample project which demonstrates the exact approach.

Hope this helps.

Hi Kalin,

Thank you for your reply. I finaly resolve it, although It was not caused by the SpecialSlotStyleSelector - that was set.
The problem was in Slot.Resources - it was set too, but in a particular resources was a missing type, and it caused that no highlighted result.

So your reply at least help me to check it all again.
