Appointment : custom field and user interface

[Aldo]

Hi,
I need to show a custom appointment with some custom fields, I followed docs samples but it doesn't work.

My steps:
1) create an AppointmentExt class that inherits from Appointment, with 2 simple extra fields

public class AppointmentExt : Appointment
{
    public planning_slot Slot { get; set; }
    public string SpecialTooltip { get; set; }
}

2) added an ObservableCollection<AppointmentExt> as Appointments source

ObservableCollection<AppointmentExt> appointments = new ObservableCollection<AppointmentExt>();

3) Created a new Tooltip template and bind the text to my specialtooltip

<DataTemplate x:Key="ScheduleTooltip">
    <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
        <TextBlock MaxWidth="200" TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="{Binding SpecialTooltip}"/>
    </StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>

At runtime the SpecialTooltip is fill but it's displayed empty (not binded?).

So I've 2 question:
A) how can I bind the tooltip to my SpecialTooltip field?
B) how can I change the way the appointment is draw ?

Thanks

Hello Aldo,

First, note that when you create a custom appointment you should use its Storage for the custom properties and also override Copy and CopyFrom methods as explained in the following article:
http://www.telerik.com/help/wpf/radscheduleview-features-appointments-custom-appointment.html#Creating_a_Custom_Appointment_class

Also this help article: Appointment Style shows how you can change the look of the appointments.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
