I may be missing it, but I am not finding a way to alter the top navigation bar on the scheduleview either in the documentation or the forum.  I am using the Timeline view only and I want to do three things:
a) hide the Timeline view button
b) change the format of the date range to "MM/YY" instead of "DD MM YYYY"
c) add custom buttons on it

See the attached image showing my bar and desired changes...

Hi Rick,

Normally, you would need to change the template of RadScheduleView control - to remove the ListBox which holds the ViewDefinitions as its Items and to insert your own visual elements. This would require that you include in your project a lot of xaml mark-up.

So I would suggest that you use the approach demonstrated in the online FirstLook example of RadScheduleView. You can hide the navigation header via NavigationHeaderVisibility="Collapsed" and place your own visual elements.

For changing the formatting of the visible range text, however, you do need to edit the RadScheduleView template. Contained in the NavigationHeader Border, you will find the following ContentControl:

If you bind to VisibleRange instead of CurrentVisibleRangeText, and provide a custom style that contains string formatted TextBlocks:


you will be able to change the formatting of the visible range text.

I hope this will help in customizing your instance of RadScheduleView.

Is there a way to do this at the view definition level?  I want to change the format on the week view but don't want it to impact the month view.

Hi Kjell,

If you want to change the formatting depending on the view definition, basically what you can do is, taking into account the suggested approach from my previous post,  have two ContentControls and bind their Visibility to the ActiveViewDefinition via a Converter. This way you will be able to provide differently formatted values for WeekView and MonthView.

I hope this helps.

All the best,
