Display scheduler time 12 hour format

[santosh]

Hi

I want to display the day and week view in 12 hour format.

I used the RulerTimeFormat and have set it to 12hour which displays the time in 12 hour but can't differentiate between AM and PM.

What i want to achieve is to show AM/ PM next to the time.


Is this posssible

Hi santosh,

If you set the Culture property of RadScheduler to a culture that uses the AM / PM format like bellow, both the ruler and appointments will use it.

this.radScheduler1.Culture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-US");

However, currently the ruler just shows the hours and not the AM / PM designators. We plan to change the ruler to show the AM / PM designators in Q3 2009 release of RadControls for WinForms.

Hi shinu rag,

Thank you for writing.

We have a new API which allows you to apply 12 hours state to the ruler.

this.radScheduler1.GetDayView().RulerTimeFormat = RulerTimeFormat.hours12;

This property is available in day view, week view, work week view.

If you have other questions, feel free to write back.

hi Jordan..
am attached 3 images with this.

pic-1 : Set Culture property as "English (United States)".
pic-2 : write the code in form load event that you above posted.
pic-3 : Output. Still the problem is there, that the AM,PM is not there along the time...

i need 12hrs Format. its ok done, but  AM,PM is not displayed

Thanks

Hello shinu rag,

Thank you for writing back. If you want to add AM/PM you should inherit the RulerRender class and draw the text that you want in the RenderHour method. The following code snippet shows how to replace the render class and what to draw in the RenderHour method:
 

SchedulerDayViewElement dayViewElement = this.radScheduler1.SchedulerElement.ViewElement as SchedulerDayViewElement;
dayViewElement.DataAreaElement.Ruler.RulerRenderer = new Renderer(dayViewElement.DataAreaElement.Ruler);

public class Renderer : RulerRenderer
{
    public Renderer(RulerPrimitive ruler)
        : base(ruler)
    {
    }

    public override void RenderHour(Telerik.WinControls.Paint.IGraphics g, int hour, Rectangle bounds)
    {
        using (StringFormat sf = new StringFormat())
        {
            Font font = new Font(this.ruler.Font.FontFamily, 12);
            DateTime hDate = new DateTime(2010, 1, 1, hour, 0, 0, 0);
            g.DrawString(hDate.ToString("hh t"), bounds, font, this.ruler.ForeColor, ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter, sf, Orientation.Horizontal, false);
        }
    }
}

Hi shinu rag,

Thank you for writing back. Yes you could use the same code snippet for day view, week view and workweek view.

i converted my application to 2010(RadControls_WinForms_2010_2_10_806_trial) version.
after that, i got an error from the above code that you specified,

ie Renderer.RenderHour(Telerik.WinControls.Paint.IGraphics, int, System.Drawing.Rectangle)': no suitable method found to override

how can i overcome this problem...


and also i have one more doubt. i upload two pics with this post
AMPM Enabled Scheduler and AMPM Disabled Scheduler.. when i change the time format to AM and PM, there is 30  minutes difference in the ruler..
please check my attached images .........

Hello shinu rag,

Thank you for writing back. You could just override the method RenderHour again and copy the contains from the previous RenderHour method to the new override. After that delete the previous one.

hi Jordan ..
please notice this too....
i upload two pics with this post.
'AMPM Enabled Scheduler' and 'AMPM Disabled Scheduler'.. when i change the default time format to 12hr,
by using this code

private void SchedulerNew_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            this.radCalendar1.InvalidateCalendar();
            this.radScheduler1.Culture = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-US");
            //toolWindowSearchPatient.DockState = Telerik.WinControls.UI.Docking.DockState.AutoHide;
            SchedulerDayView dayView = this.radScheduler1.GetDayView();
            if (dayView != null)
            {
                dayView.WorkTime = new TimeInterval(TimeSpan.FromHours(9.0), TimeSpan.FromHours(17.0));
                dayView.RulerTimeFormat = RulerTimeFormat.hours12;
            }
            SchedulerDayViewElement dayViewElement = this.radScheduler1.SchedulerElement.ViewElement as SchedulerDayViewElement;
            dayViewElement.DataAreaElement.Table.ScrollToWorkHours();

          dayViewElement.DataAreaElement.Ruler.RulerRenderer = new Renderer(dayViewElement.DataAreaElement.Ruler);

        }


public class Renderer : RulerRenderer
    {
        public Renderer(RulerPrimitive ruler)
            : base(ruler)
        {
        }

        public override void RenderHour(Telerik.WinControls.Paint.IGraphics g, int hour, Rectangle bounds)
        {
            using (StringFormat sf = new StringFormat())
            {
                Font font = new Font(this.ruler.Font.FontFamily, 8, FontStyle.Bold);
                DateTime hDate = new DateTime(2010, 1, 1, hour, 0, 0, 0);
                g.DrawString(hDate.ToString("hh tt"), bounds, font, this.ruler.ForeColor, ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter, sf, Orientation.Horizontal, false);
            }
        }

    }

 there you can see 30 minutes difference in the time ruler..
please check my attached images .........
