Appointment Size in Month View

[Libertas Technologies]

I know this topic has come up in a variety of ways, but is there a setting, or a hack to set the height of an appointment to "auto" where it will be big enough to display content specified for an appointment.

I know there is a RowHeight property that can be adjusted to show this, but that's still somewhat sloppy because there is no way of knowing the "biggest" appointment. When using an appointment template below, appointments with a short subject, will become quite large. And there may be a case where an appointment is created with a title that is longer than what is accounted for using the RowHeight property.

        <AppointmentTemplate>
                <asp:HyperLink ID="hlSubject" runat="server" /><br />
                <div><%#CDate(Eval("Start")).ToShortTimeString()%></div>
        </AppointmentTemplate>

The rendering of the control with that template is attached.

Hello Todd,

There is a workaround you can try, but it may malfunction for certain cases:

.RadScheduler .rsMonthView .rsWrap,
        .RadScheduler .rsMonthView .rsAptOut,
        .RadScheduler .rsMonthView .rsAptMid,
        .RadScheduler .rsMonthView .rsApt
        {
        height: auto !important;
        }

        .RadScheduler .rsMonthView .rsAptIn,
        .RadScheduler .rsMonthView .rsAptContent
        {
        height: 100% !important;
        }

        .RadScheduler .rsMonthView .rsApt
        {
        position: static !important;
        }

Peter:
I used your suggestion and it was working great until I installed the Q1 2010 dll.
Now, each appointment takes up the entire height of the cell in the month view.
Even in cells where there is more than one appointment, I only see one appointment since it fills up the day's cell.
Any ideas?

Thanks,
George

Hello George,

The good news is that we have just prepared a kb article for this case:

Let me know if you have further questions.

The fix works great, but I'm having a slight problem with words getting cut off.  As you can see in the attached screenshot, in several cases (e.g., on the 15th, 17th and 19th) , the words in the appointment get cut off instead of automatically starting a new line before or after a word.  Any suggestions?

Hello George,

This problem will occur only in IE6. Unfortunately, it cannot be avoided for this browser. Let us know if notice any problems with other browsers.
