Customizing the "Please provide an Appointment Source"

[Rich Reuter]

Is there a way to customize - either change or remove - the message that says "Please provide an Appointment Source" as the appointments on the calendar are being loaded?

Hello Rich,

To modify the message "Please provide an Appointment Source",  you will have to edit the RadScheduleViewControlTemplate of the RadScheduleView control.

<Grid x:Name="AppointmentSourceWarning" Background="White" Visibility="{Binding AppointmentsSource, Mode=TwoWay, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}, Converter={StaticResource InvertedNullToVisibilityConverter}}">
     <TextBlock Text="Please provide an AppointmentsSource" FontSize="32" Foreground="Black"    HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
</Grid>

Hope this hepls.

Kind regards,

Ok. Thanks for your help. It would be nice to have that as a dependency property where you could set the content that way rather than having modify the control template.

Hi,

I am using v.2013.3.1316 and cannot find the RadScheduleViewControlTemplate option for the ScheduleView control?
Has this changed in the newer version?

cheers

Hi Craig,

I believe you need to modify the Template property of RadScheduleVIew.
RadScheduleViewControlTemplate is the default Tempate we used for RadScheduleView control. You can find all its styles and resources inside Themes.Implicit folder of your personal installation. Simply look for Telerik.Windows.Controls.ScheduleView.xaml file under the theme of your choice.

I hope this helps.

Can you provide an example for this?  I'm having trouble modifying the template to change this text.

[Scott]

I got this to work by copying all 235 lines of code from the control template in Telerik.Windows.Controls.ScheduleView.xaml, then adding that to my xaml page, then just changing the text "Please provide an Appointment Source" to what I need.  Now my question is - Do I need to copy all 235 lines of code or is there some way to simply change the section I need to (see below)?  It adds a lot of code to my page for one little change.

<Grid x:Name="AppointmentSourceWarning" Background="White" Visibility="{Binding AppointmentsSource, Mode=TwoWay, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}, Converter={StaticResource InvertedNullToVisibilityConverter}}">
                                    <TextBlock Text="Please provide an Appointment Source" Foreground="Black" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" FontSize="24"/>
                                </Grid>

Oh, and for anyone else reading this, I also had to add the following references to the page/UserControl that contains my scheduleview:

xmlns:telerikScheduleView="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.ScheduleView"
xmlns:telerikPrimitives="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls.Primitives;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls"
xmlns:sys="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib"

Hello Rich,

I've attached a sample project which demonstrates the desired approach. I've used implicit styles approach for the provided example.

Hope it helps.

I downloaded your your sample project.  All you did was take that same 235 lines of code I'm referring to and move it to app.xaml instead of the main user control.  I was asking if there is a way to cut down on the amount of code needed to change this template.  I'm going to assume the answer is no since you also used this large chunk of style code.  If there is actually a way to use LESS code to achieve the desired affect, please let me know.  
Thanks again.

Hi Scott,

Unfortunately there is no other way to change the appointment source warning text at the moment.
However we decided to add this text to the localization manager which will allow you to customize the appointment source warning text without editing the control template. This option will be available in our next internal build.
​
I hope this helps.
