Change Timeline in Multiday calender with Text value

[ruchin]

Hello!

I am trying  to change default timeline in multiday calender mode with text value such as name .I have implemented telerik ui calender on my android device . 

Attached 2 images i.e. Img Telerik A.png (Implemented on Device)  and Img Telerik B.png (Required).

I want marked timeline in as 1 in Img Telerik A.png to change into marked text  as 2 in Img Telerik B.png.

Code Snippet for calender as follows:

TelerikCalender.xaml

<telerikInput:RadCalendar x:Name="calendar" AppointmentsSource="{Binding Appointments}" AppointmentTapped="Calendar_AppointmentTapped"  NativeControlLoaded="Calendar_NativeControlLoaded">
            <telerikInput:RadCalendar.MultiDayViewSettings>
                <telerikInput:MultiDayViewSettings VisibleDays="7"
                DayStartTime="9:00:00"
                DayEndTime="18:00:00"
                TimelineInterval="1:00"
                IsWeekendVisible="True"                 
                IsCurrentTimeIndicatorVisible="False" />
            </telerikInput:RadCalendar.MultiDayViewSettings>
            <telerikInput:RadCalendar.MultiDayViewStyle>
                <telerikInput:MultiDayViewStyle
                AllDayAreaBackgroundColor="Beige"
                AllDayAppointmentBackgroundColor="CornflowerBlue"
                AllDayAppointmentTextColor="White"
                CurrentTimeIndicatorColor="Blue"
                AppointmentFontSize="11"
                AllDayAppointmentFontSize="11" />
            </telerikInput:RadCalendar.MultiDayViewStyle>
        </telerikInput:RadCalendar>

TelerikCalender.xaml.cs

 private void Calendar_NativeControlLoaded(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            (sender as RadCalendar).TrySetViewMode(CalendarViewMode.MultiDay);            
        }

Please let me know if its possible and if yes how to implement the same.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi Ruchin,

Thank you for providing the screenshots as well as the snippet.

I have researched various approaches for accomplishing the scenario you have, still, I am afraid RadCalendar does not provide a feasible way to achieve it. In short, the control does not expose API for changing the timeline labels' values, you could customize only their font and styling.  Additionally, even if the names could be updated, the appointments are arranged according to their Start/End times and you would need to change these values to place them according to some other criteria.

Another approach for achieving a similar view is to use RadDataGrid control with TemplateColumn, which could contain the list of Appointments.
 
Let me know if you have any additional questions on Telerik Xamarin controls.
