MajorTickLength and MinorTickLength Property Not set

[hardik]

Hi telerik,

I have seen one of your post. Into that from xaml majorticklength propoerty for timeline view is set to "12h".so 12 hour difference is set.

Same thing I had done for day view.Its working fine.

But my requirement is I want to set the time in minutes.

So I guess for minutes it should "10m", but its not works,

This is provided by schedulerView?

Because this is my basic requirement.I want timeslots with 5 minute interval.And its provided than its very helpful to me..How can I set this please reply me as early as possible.

Thanks

Hi,

ScheduleView view definitions can be done in xaml or in code. Here is simple example how to define day and week definitions by xaml and by code.

In XAML:

<scheduleView:RadScheduleView x:Name="XamlRadScheduler">
  <telerik:RadScheduleView.ViewDefinitions>
    <telerik:DayViewDefinition DayStartTime="8:00:00" MajorTickLength="1h" MinorTickLength="5min" />
    <telerik:WeekViewDefinition DayStartTime="8:00:00" MajorTickLength="1h" MinorTickLength="5min"  />
  </telerik:RadScheduleView.ViewDefinitions>
</scheduleView:RadScheduleView>

In code:

DayViewDefinition dayView = new DayViewDefinition();
dayView.DayStartTime = new TimeSpan(0, 8, 0, 0, 0);
dayView.MinorTickLength = new FixedTickLengthProvider(new TimeSpan(0, 0, 5, 0, 0));
dayView.MajorTickLength = new FixedTickLengthProvider(new TimeSpan(0, 1, 0, 0, 0));
this.XamlRadScheduler.ViewDefinitions.Add(dayView);

WeekViewDefinition weekView = new WeekViewDefinition();
weekView.DayStartTime = new TimeSpan(0, 8, 0, 0, 0);
weekView.MinorTickLength = new FixedTickLengthProvider(new TimeSpan(0, 0, 5, 0, 0));
weekView.MajorTickLength = new FixedTickLengthProvider(new TimeSpan(0, 1, 0, 0, 0));
this.XamlRadScheduler.ViewDefinitions.Add(weekView);

I hope this helps.

Best regards,
Sami

Hi,
I am migrating from RadScheduler to RadScheduleView because of several Advantages in Showing Group Resources. In my Application I need only the TimelineView and also I need only 1 timeslot per day.
I tried to set the parameters in my TimelineViewDefinition via xaml, but modifying the property MinorTickLengt on a value over 12 hours doesn't work.
For example I  tried to set the Xaml Code like this:

<scheduleView:RadScheduleView  x:Name="scheduleView" DataContext="{StaticResource ViewModel}" GroupHeaderContentTemplateSelector="{StaticResource GroupHeaderContentTemplateSelector}"
                                    AppointmentsSource="{Binding Appointments}"
                                    SpecialSlotStyleSelector="{StaticResource SpecialSlotStyleSelector}"
                                    SpecialSlotsSource="{Binding SpecialSlots}"
                                    ResourceTypesSource="{StaticResource ResourceTypes}"
                                    VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
                                    FirstDayOfWeek="Monday">
            <telerik:RadScheduleView.ActiveViewDefinition>
                <telerik:TimelineViewDefinition x:Name="activetimelineViewDefinition"
                                                VisibleDays="31" LargeChangeInterval="14d" SmallChangeInterval="7d"
                                                TimerulerGroupStringFormat="{}{0:dd-MM}"
                                                TimerulerMajorTickStringFormat=""
                                                TimerulerMinorTickStringFormat=""
                                                MajorTickLength="24h"
                                                MinorTickLength="24h"
                                                StretchGroupHeaders="True"/>
            </telerik:RadScheduleView.ActiveViewDefinition>

I also tried to set on the property MinorTickLength on "1d" ..., and I tried to set DayStartTime and DayEndTime on 0:00:00 and so on.
Then, fortunately I found this forum post and read how to set the Properties via C#. I tried to set the values after InitializeComponent() :

this.InitializeComponent();
this.activetimelineViewDefinition.MinorTickLength = new FixedTickLengthProvider(new TimeSpan(1, 0, 0, 0, 0));
this.activetimelineViewDefinition.MajorTickLength = new FixedTickLengthProvider(new TimeSpan(1, 0, 0, 0, 0));

This works fine as expected and solved my problem! But why does'nt it accept values over 12h for MinorTickLength in xaml?

Thanks

Hello Hubert,

This is a limitation of RadScheduleView that we will do our best to improve for the next version of the control. We are sorry for any inconvenience that this causes to you.

Kind regards,

I have the same requirements, only one slot per day...
Would be nice to set in XAML.

Hi Team,
   Is it possible to have time slots of 50 with mins each ScheduleView?
it should show up like 

10:00 AM
10:50 AM
11:40 AM
12:30 PM like so..

Thanks & Regards
Supreet

Hi Supreet,
it doesn't seem you can set this special timeslot in xaml, but perhaps it could be a solution for you, if you try to set your viewdefinition in your code behind like this:

this.activeViewDefinition.MinorTickLength = new FixedTickLengthProvider(new TimeSpan(0, 0, 50, 0, 0));
this.activeViewDefinition.MajorTickLength = new FixedTickLengthProvider(new TimeSpan(0, 0, 50, 0, 0));

Hope this helps you!

Regards
Hubert

Hello Hubert,
     Thanks for your reply.
  I think that will work as you are setting the Min property of the Time Span object.
I have one more question. Will it also be possible to have certain time slots reserved where appointments can not be created & it has a small time period.
e.g.
10:00AM (50 mins lecture)
10:50AM (50 mins lecture)
11:40AM (50 mins lecture)
12:30PM (50 mins lecture)
13:10PM (40 mins LUNCH BRAEK)
14:00PM (50 mins lecture)
14:50PM (50 mins lecture)  & So on So forth..
I am not sure if this is really possible.
Kindly update.

Thanks & Regards
Supreet

Hi Supreet,
I don't think you can do this, without customizing your ScheduleView-Template. If this is too expensive for you, you should think about setting your MajorTickLength to 1 hour, your MinorTickLength to 10 min. In  this demo you can try out this aproach. Could be that this, in combiation with Special and ReadOnly Slots, could be a possible solution for you?

Hubert

Thanks Hubert,
   I will try that & will update my findings here :)
