TimeMarker location

[Adrien]

Hello,

The location of the TimeMarker is at the bottom of the appointment. I do not understand why ...
I did not set any custom style for the radscheduleview.

I use the 2013 Q3 version with the Windows 8 theme.

StyleManager.ApplicationTheme = new Windows8Theme();

How is it possible to change the location of the TimeMarker?

Regards,
Adrien.

Hello Adrien,

We've tested the described scenario and TimeMarkers were shown as expected - I have attached a screenshot of the ScheduleView with Windows8 theme and some appointments with TimeMarkers. I assume something else in your project is causing the issue.

The timemarker in a dayview is displayed correctly.
If I switch to a month view the time marker is displayed at the bottom of the appointment.
If I switch to a week view, for appointment in the "All day area", the TimeMarker is at the bottom for the others it is at the left.

Usually when the TimeMarker is at the bottom, the appointment is an "AllDay" appointment.

Is it the expected behavior?

Hi Adrien,

The explained Time Markers behavior is the correct behavior of the ScheduleView. You could change the Time Marker appearance by creating a custom AppointmentStyleSelector - for more detailed information please refer to the Appointment Style article from our documentation.

Hi Kalin -- can you elaborate on this a little?  I am currently using Expression_Dark with the RadScheduleView in TimeLine mode.  I would really like the Time Markers to be fully across the top (like in Windows8 style).  I looked at the "Appointment Style" section you described above, however, not being successful. Currently, the TimeMarkers on fully on the left hand side of the Appointment - like for it to be across the top.
Thanks,
Henry

PS on that last post....  I am currently doing the following.  The appointments are getting the brush stroke (gradient filled) that I want, however, the TimeMarker is doing nothing (especially being drawn across the top of the appointment).

<local:SpecialSlotStyleSelector x:Key="SpecialSlotStyleSelector">
 <local:SpecialSlotStyleSelector.DefaultStyle>
  <Style TargetType="telerik:AppointmentItem">
   <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Beige" />
   <Setter Property="Margin" Value="0" />
   <Setter Property="IsEnabled" Value="True" />
   <Setter Property="IsHitTestVisible" Value="True" />
   <Setter Property="Template">
    <Setter.Value>
     <ControlTemplate TargetType="telerik:AppointmentItem">
      <Grid>
       <Rectangle Fill="{Binding Appointment.Category.CategoryBrush, FallbackValue=Orange}" RadiusX="2" RadiusY="2" />
       <Rectangle Fill="{Binding Appointment.TimeMarker.TimeMarkerBrush, FallbackValue=Orange}" Margin="2 0" />
       <TextBlock x:Name="txtTextBlock" HorizontalAlignment="Center" TextWrapping="NoWrap"
                 Text="{Binding Appointment.Subject}" />
      </Grid>
     </ControlTemplate>
    </Setter.Value>
   </Setter>
  </Style>
 </local:SpecialSlotStyleSelector.DefaultStyle>
</local:SpecialSlotStyleSelector>

Hi Henry,

In order to keep the complete functionality of the Appointments you will need to extract the default AppointmentItemHorizontalControlTemplate and modify it in order to have the TimeMarker line above the Appointment. I have prepared a sample project which demonstrates the exact approach, note that I have used Implicit Styles to easily apply the modified ControlTemplate.

Hope this will help you to achieve the required.
