how to do full month view one at a time

[Ming Zhao]

We want to have month view to view full month each time we click month view button of schedulerNagivator and previous arrow and next arrow button .  eg:  January, February, etc.  Month View includes the first day and last of the month.   Each time, month view is selected, it is always a full month just as it presented in calendar.


How can we do this?

Is this fixed?

I am using Q1 2010 and I cannot figure out a way to show full month.

Hi Alex,

Unfortunately, we have not implemented this feature yet. although we are working on it. We will try to do our best to have for the Q2 2010 release. Please, excuse us for the inconvenience.

As this is now March 2013 have you implemented this feature yet

Hello Denis,

Presently this behavior is not built in RadScheduler and you should implement it with code. We will consider implementing it in a future version. I am posting here my answer to the same question that you asked in your support ticket:

The default behavior in RadScheduler is to show as first week in month view the week which is displayed in day view. You can change this behavior by setting the time interval explicitly by using the following code:

Copy Code

DateTime dtStart;

void scheduler_ActiveViewChanging(object sender, SchedulerViewChangingEventArgs e)
{
    RadScheduler scheduler = (RadScheduler)sender;
    dtStart = scheduler.ActiveView.StartDate;
}

void scheduler_ActiveViewChanged(object sender, SchedulerViewChangedEventArgs e)
{
    RadScheduler scheduler = (RadScheduler)sender;
    SchedulerMonthView monthView = e.NewView as SchedulerMonthView;
    if (monthView != null)
    {
        DateTime dtStartMonth = new DateTime(dtStart.Year, dtStart.Month, 1);
        int navigationStep = scheduler.ActiveView.StartDate.Subtract(dtStartMonth).Days;
        monthView.WeekCount = DateHelper.GetMonthDisplayWeeks(dtStartMonth, CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat);
        RadScheduler.NavigateToPreviousViewCommand.ExecuteCommand(scheduler, NavigationStepTypes.Day, navigationStep);
    }
}

However, please note that this will break the internal logic in RadScheduler when changing to different views. If you use this code, you should add your own logic to set the start date when handling ActiveViewChanged event.

Until now we received only a few requests regarding the requested behavior and that is why we never implemented it. Now I am logging the issue in our issue tracking system and you can track it status by using the following link. We will consider implementing the feature in a future version. 

I hope this helps.

Hi Jack 

It is sorted out with Sefan  so we have a workaround for now.  Um the link you have here to the Public Issue Tracker does not work 

Have not posted the full solution here but it is in the Support Ticker if needed As some parts came from here and others from a Support Ticket around another issue 

There is a gotcha on the Scheduler if you use this code, as we are changing the way the month view dates are set.  Hence when you move back to the other views you have to reset the start date to what you would expect.  (i.e. Today)   Else the Scheduler creeps back in time, as the Month Start date is not set to today, but the first week that has the month start in it.

it is fun to watch, but not very useful. 

So a short answer would do the following
1. Determine the weeks to display for the Month 
2. Change the Week Count 
3. Determine the StartDate for the month (Note this might be before the actual 1st of the month)
4. Set the Month Start to the New StartDate
5. Set the Navigator Month Text to 1 Week after the Month Start (Due to Step 3 above)

For other Views
1. Set the StartDate for the other views when they are loaded to Today (normal way they work)

And we have an outlook type Month 

Cool !

Thanks for the help,

Hello Denis,

I am glad to hear that everything is OK now. Thank you for sharing those steps. The PITS link seems to be correct on my side. Maybe it is a connection issue. Could you, please check the link again.

If you have any further questions, we will be glad to help.

Hi, 

I also want to show the full month in month view on every arrow button click. To do so I successfully changed the "ActiveViewChanged" Event. But I can still change the scheduler weekly by using the arrow keys. How can I change this behaviour? 

I was not sure if this post is can be helpful for this purpose http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/winforms/scheduler/scheduler-keydown-and-keypressed-event-issue.aspx 

Thank you in advance for any suggestions. 

Best, 

Peter

Hi Peter, 

Yes, you can use the method mentioned in this thread to capture the up/down arrow keys, prevent the base logic and implement your own. Here is a sample:

public class MyScheduler : RadScheduler
{
    protected override bool ProcessCmdKey(ref Message msg, Keys keyData)
    {
        if (this.ActiveViewType == SchedulerViewType.Month)
        {
            if (keyData == Keys.Down)
            {
                RadScheduler.NavigateToPreviousViewCommand.ExecuteCommand(this, NavigationStepTypes.Month, -1);
            }
            else if (keyData == Keys.Up)
            {
                RadScheduler.NavigateToPreviousViewCommand.ExecuteCommand(this, NavigationStepTypes.Month, 71);
            }

            ((SchedulerMonthView)this.ActiveView).WeekCount = DateHelper.GetMonthDisplayWeeks(this.ActiveView.StartDate, CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat);
            return true;
        }
        return base.ProcessCmdKey(ref msg, keyData);
    }

    public override string ThemeClassName
    {
        get
        {
            return typeof(RadScheduler).FullName;
        }
        set
        {
            base.ThemeClassName = value;
        }
    }
}

I hope that you find it useful.
