How to make custom designed HorizontalStyle

[Johannes]

I just wanted to create completely custom styled <telerik:OrientedAppointmentItemStyleSelector.HorizontalStyle> items. I've created resources via Expression Blend and all that stuff.

Then I wanted to edit the template like follows - making it bigger and putting additional controls in it.

<Setter Property="Template">
    <Setter.Value>
        <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type telerik:AppointmentItem}">
            <Grid x:Name="Root" Height="150">
                ...

I can put additional controls in the grid, but it is not getting bigger. The size remains small and the content is cut off. The Height="150" property seems to have no effect. What's going on here?

Hi Johannes,

The height of the appointment item is not configurable from the HorizontalStyle. Due to the logic that the RadScheduleView uses to calculate sizes, you can change the size of appointments by setting the MinAppointmentHeight and MinAppointmentWidth properties of RadScheduleView.

Use MinAppointmentHeight for horizontally oriented appiontments. Anything that goes beyond the measure set in MinAppointmentHeight will be clipped.

I hope this helps.

Best wishes,
