Grid or Scheduler?

[M]

Hi

I'm trying to create a Department Planner.

I need time in 15 mins interval for 24 hours horizontally on the header and employees name vertically. I need to be able to select the time interval for each employees. Also, I need to group employees based on their job profile. I also need a few footers to calculate totals.

For example

                                        6:00                   7:00                   8:00                9:00            10:00 .............................n                                                            Total hrs worked
                                  15   30   45       15   30   45       15  30   45     15   30  45    15   30  45

Group A - Emp1      highlight back color if working and if double clicked on a particular 15 mins interval then change the colour                                Group A - Emp2                                     
Group A - Emp3
     :
Group A -Footer total...

Group B - Emp1
Group B - Emp2
    :
Group B - Footer total


What' s the best control that I can use to achieve the above scenario.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hello,

For achieving the desired structure and functionality you should use RadGrid. 

By using RadGrid, you could easily created the desired column structure with our multi-column headers functionality. Furthermore, RadGrid provides built-in grouping functionality that will allow you to group by the data field holding the employees job title for an example.

Please note that you should bind the grid to a data source that holds all the necessary fields, so the grid could populate itself correctly. Otherwise, you will have to customize and populate the grid manually in the code-behind.

Thanks. Is there a way to fix first and last column and get a scroll bar just for the columns in the middle and static header and footer at the same time?

Hello,

You could use the frozen column functionality that could allow you to fix a number of columns at the beginning of the columns collection. Please note that you will not be able to fix the last column, but only the first column(s).

Detailed information and online demo are available at the following links:

• RadGrid - Frozen Columns
• Grid - Scrolling

Hope that helps.
