2 schedule size question

[John]

HI, i have 2 questions on the scheduler

1.  how can i tell it to not stretch itself to fill the space it's in?  see the example shot.  the 4pm hour stretches to hit the bottom.  i don't want it to.  i want it to just take the row height i give it and it fill down as far as it needs to.  if needed, scroll bars appear etc.  it's in day view.

2.  how can i set the width of resources in day view?  i have a day view that shows a single day.  it has multiple resources.  the users can choose between 2 options.  fit to window (which telerik scheduler seems to do by default) or hard code a size.  so if they say 400 px for each resource, all resource are 400 px wide and a horizontal scroll bar shows if they take up more space than the control has now.

thanks!

Hi John,

The answers of your questions are:

1. I managed to reproduce the issue and I logged it in our public issue tracking system. We will address it in one of the next releases. Meanwhile, I cannot give you work around due to internal implementation of RadScheduler.

2. There is no way to change the width of the resources at this time.

I updated your Telerik points accordingly.

All the best,

thanks svett.  do you have any plans or would you consider allowing us to change the width of resources in future versions?  it seems like that would be a common thing to want to do.

thanks!

i talked to my boss, this is a real show stopper.  we're doing medical office software.  each resource is a provider (doctor, nurse etc).  an office might have 15 of them.  when you put that many on the screen, they get to small to see the appointments on.

is there anyway to add a horizontal scroll bar at the bottom and then not allow the resources to go below say 200 px?  then they can just scroll across the screen if they need to.

thanks

Hello John,

As I mentioned you previously, there is not way to customize the width of the resource headers. Nevertheless, there is horizontal scroll bar which should be visible if headers exceed the visible area of the scheduler. I am enclosing a sample project which demonstrates that on my side. It seems that there is something specific in your project, which causes the scroll bar to not be shown. Could you share with us a code snippet that demonstrates how you initialize and create the RadScheduler?

I am enclosing the project that I have used to reproduce your case.

All the best,

thanks svett.  i compared your solution to mine and figured out the problem.  it was my incorrect use of 

ResourcesPerView

i had set that to my total number of resources which jammed them all in the current view instead of 
making the scroll bar

Thanks!
