Custom content of EditAppointmentDialog

[Sueleyman]

Hi,

I'm try to customize the dialog to create or edit appointments if I do a coubleclick on the schedule. 

I try two approches.

1. Create a EditAppointmentDialogStyle and EditAppointmentTemplate. So the template shows the content what I want. But I can't set a custom header on the dialog over the EditAppointmentDialogStyle .

2. Create a custom ScheduleViewDialogHostFactory. Here is the problem that I can't set a custom control as a template.

protected override IScheduleViewDialogHost CreateNew(ScheduleViewBase scheduleView, DialogType dialogType)       {           var window = new ShiftWindowDialogHost()           {               

             //                Content = new SchedulerDialog(),               

          Content = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<UserManagement>(),               

            ScheduleView = scheduleView,               

             Header = "What a charm"           };           

    StyleManager.SetThemeFromParent(window, scheduleView);           

return window;       }

I get the exception

System.InvalidOperationException: 'SchedulerDialog' TargetType does not match type of element '.
   at System.Windows.Style.CheckTargetType(Object element)

Hi Sueleyman,

Indeed in order to achieve the desired appearance for the header of the EditAppointmentDialog a custom ScheduleViewDialogHostFactory should be created. We tried to reproduce the observed by you error but it seems everything is working as expected for us.

We have created a sample project that demonstrates how such custom created ScheduleViewDialogHostFactory works on our side - the project uses Implicit Styles
that is the approach we suggest for using when Styles needs to be modified instead of using StyleManager (which is the old technique used for applying themes). Please, check the attached project.

We hope this will help you.
