How to apply different templates to different appointments of Telerik Scheduler for WPF/Silverlight.
Using it, you will be able to easily apply different DataTemplate to the appointments by any custom condition.
All you need to do is to create a custom class inheriting from the DataTemplateSelector class and override the SelectTemplate method.
For example:
| public class AppointmentTemplateSelector : DataTemplateSelector |
| { |
| public DataTemplate RedAppointmentTemplate { get; set; } |
| public DataTemplate GreenAppointmentTemplate { get; set; } |
| public override DataTemplate SelectTemplate(object item, DependencyObject container) |
| { |
| base.SelectTemplate(item, container); |
| AppointmentSlot appointmentSlot = item as AppointmentSlot; |
| var appointment = appointmentSlot.Occurrence.Appointment; |
| if (appointment != null && appointment.Start.Date == DateTime.Today) |
| { |
| return RedAppointmentTemplate; |
| } |
| return GreenAppointmentTemplate; |
| } |
| } |
Then you need to define two DataTemplates – one for the “red” appointments and another for the “green” appointments:
| <DataTemplate x:Key="RedAppointmentTemplate"> |
| <Border Background="Red” |
| BorderThickness="1" |
| CornerRadius="8" Margin="-2"> |
| <TextBox x:Name="PART_SubjectTextBox" Margin="7 0 18 0" |
| VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Left" |
| Text="{Binding Path=Occurrence.Appointment.Subject}" |
| Foreground="Black" TextWrapping="Wrap" MaxWidth="100" /> |
| </Border> |
| </DataTemplate> |
| <DataTemplate x:Key="GreenAppointmentTemplate"> |
| <Border Background="LightGreen” |
| BorderThickness="1" |
| CornerRadius="8" Margin="-2"> |
| <TextBox x:Name="PART_SubjectTextBox" Margin="7 0 18 0" |
| VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Left" |
| Text="{Binding Path=Occurrence.Appointment.Subject}" |
| Foreground="Black" TextWrapping="Wrap" MaxWidth="100" /> |
| </Border> |
| </DataTemplate> |
Add the AppointmentTemplateSelector to the resources:
| <local:AppointmentTemplateSelector x:Key="ItemTemplateSelector" |
| RedAppointmentTemplate ="{StaticResource RedAppointmentTemplate}" |
| GreenAppointmentTemplate ="{StaticResource GreenAppointmentTemplate }" /> |
Set the AppointmentTemplateSelector property of RadScheduler:
| <telerik:RadScheduler x:Name="scheduler" AppointmentTemplateSelector="{StaticResource ItemTemplateSelector}" /> |
The result of the above code will be red today’s appointments, whereas all other appointments will appear in green:
