Displaying a tool tip for a slot

[Stephen]

How would I go about enabling the tool tip for a slot in the RadScheduleView. I already have a tool tip defined for the appointment, but I need to provide the user with additional information about each slot when they are trying to decide where to make their appointment.

Thank you in advance,

Stephen

Hello Stephen,

Try implementing the SpecialSlotStyleSelector and use a custom HighlightItemStyle for all slots that you wish to display a ToolTip. Add your ToolTip to that style.

You can check the Special and ReadOnly slots example of RadScheduleView in the WPF demos.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Hi Dani,
Thanks for the quick response!

I am using the SpecialSlotStyleSelector like you mentioned. I have included in this reply a scaled down version of what I am trying to accomplish that outlines the issue I am having, but the attach file won't allow m to attach a zip file of the project. I can send it to you if you would like so that you don't have to build up a project yourself. In the mean time you can find the xaml file below from the test project.

Thank you in advance for your time.

Stephen

Hello Stephen,

Upon further ivestigation, I am sorry to say that the desired ToolTip in the HighlightItems is currently not possible. The HighlightItems have its IsHitTestVisble property set to false intentionally and since this is done in code, a customization is not possible.

We have received other requests for implementing the SpecialSlot ToolTips feature, but I am afraid for the time being it is not yet planned.


All the best,
Dani

Hi Dani,

We really need to have access to this functionality for this tool we are building. How can we go about getting this enabled?

Thank you,

Stephen

Hello Stephen

This feature is not yet implemented and I am afraid there is not any workaround approach to achieving the same result.

To solve this create a class

SpecialSlotStyleSelector and overide

 

 

override Style SelectStyle(object item, DependencyObject container, ViewDefinitionBase activeViewDefinition)

{

 

if (item is Slot)

{

 

 

 

container.SetValue(HighlightItem.IsHitTestVisibleProperty, true);

container.SetValue(HighlightItem.ToolTipProperty, "TEST");

 

}

 

return base.SelectStyle(item, container, activeViewDefinition);

}

Yes, that does the trick.
