Changing Color schemes and Background images

[Rajesh]

Are following changes possible
To change color of :  (please view the attached image)
1. View Selector which is currently black
2. Date Header which is currently grayish
3. Task color

To change background of a occurrence of a Task, like in a recurrence task if some occurrences have been completed then there background will be different than those which yet to be started/completed. Similarly for Non - recurrence tasks

If above changes are possible please provide some code to accomplish them

Thanks

Hi Rajesh,

Please, find attached a project that will help you cope with the needed customizations. Search for NOTE to check explanational notes.

1) The NavigationHeader background is easily changed by changing a single brush
2) This element is part of the TimeRuler and is rendered as a GoToDayButton. See attachment for more details.
3) What you need is to use a custom AppointmentStyleSelector. In your selector provide a separate appointment style for recurring appointments. Please, check this help article for more details on the AppointmentStyleSelector.

I hope this will be helpful.

Kind regards,

Hello Rajesh,

We were able to reproduce the issue and we will strive to provide a fix for this design-time issue as early as we can.
Although ListBoxItems are not visible, the xaml code is still availble for customization. For now,  I would suggest that you use apply changes in code. You can also use the attached resource dictionary for your customizations. It contains the latest style for the RadScheduleView control.

Let me know if you need any help using the resources.

Hi,

I was trying to attach the given resource file in my Project, but it shows many errors when i start to build it
And i am not able to attach a Zip file to this post, so that i could have showed my sample project

I placed the given resource file in the previous project given by you, but there also i am getting same build errors

Do i have to add some files/references to build this resource file

Current Telerik ref added in project are :
"Telerik.Windows.Controls.dll" "Telerik.Windows.Controls.Input.dll" "Telerik.Windows.Controls.Navigation.dll" "Telerik.Windows.Controls.ScheduleView.dll" "Telerik.Windows.Data.dll" 

I have added the snapshot of the build errors

Note : I am using .NET 3.5 binaries

Hi Rajesh,

You should change the local namespace.

If it points to:

xmlns:local="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls"

you should change that to:

xmlns:local="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.ScheduleView"

I hope this will solve the issue.

HI,

Sorry for the late reply,

Many of the errors were fixed the fix given by you, Thanks,
But I am still getting one error, so I am still blocked

Error 1 The tag 'VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups' does not exist in XML namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation'. Line 980 Position 8. C:\Users\chittooril\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\RadControlsWpfApp_ScheduleView\RadControlsWpfApp_ScheduleView\ResourceDictionary.xaml 980 8 RadControlsWpfApp_ScheduleView

Above error has been copied from Visual Studio

Thanks

Hi Rajesh,

VisualStateGroups were introduced in version 4.0 for WPF. I guess you are using WPF3.5. If so, you can use the dictionary attached. It contains the same styling information for WPF3.5.

I hope this will be helpful.
