I am unable to get grouping to work, I can successfully create all the appointments I want but there is no indication of groups. I've copied source code from some Telerik documentation to populate the Resource property of the Scheduler, but no groupings ever show up.

Besides populating Resources and Properties I setup the Scheduler with
tlAvailability.ActiveViewType = Telerik.WinControls.UI.SchedulerViewType.Timeline
tlAvailability.GroupType = Telerik.WinControls.UI.GroupType.Resource

Also in some documentation (at least the Timeline Grouping in the Demo Application) calls are made to 
Me.radScheduler1.Appointments.BeginUpdate()
Me.radScheduler1.Appointments.EndUpdate()

What does this do? Are they necessary (I am populating appointments with out this call)? Why aren't they called before editing the Resources?

I'm using Telerik 2013.2.612.20, VB, .NET 2.0

I figured it out. It seems that adding Appointments (or Resources?) requires you to reset the .GroupType property of the scheduler again.

All I had to do was add
tlAvailability.GroupType = GroupType.Resource
after I added the Resources and Appointments to display.

Hello Colin,

Thank you for writing.

That is right. In order to group by resources in RadScheduler you should set the GroupType property after the addition of the Appointments and Resources. You can take a look at our Demo Application in section Scheduler>>Grouping where you can find very useful information about the groping by resources in deference view.

I hope this information helps. Should you have any other questions, I will be glad to assist you.

Regards,
Anton

Anton,

Thanks that was  a big help for me also. Now I would like to change the range of hours that show up in the time line view.
I cant seem to find the correct method or setting. currently it always shows starting at 0:00 until 23:30. I would like to either start the timeline at 6 am OR be able to scroll for the user to that time...

Thanks!

Tom

Hi Tom,

Thank you for writing.

This case is not supported by RadScheduler and there is no suitable way to achieve the desired behavior. However, we consider that this feature will be useful for our clients and we decided to add it as feature request in our Public Issue Tracking System, so the community can vote for it. You can track its status and vote for it here:http://www.telerik.com/support/pits.aspx#/public/winforms/15846

I have updated your Telerik Points for this request.

Let me know if you have additional questions.

Regards,
Anton
