How to set the VisibleRange in code?

[Meik Schuetz]

Dear all,
by default, the SchedulerView initializes the VisibleRange accordingly to the current date/ time.
Is there any way to set the visible time range in code behind (the VisibleRange, as well as VisibleRange.Start and VisibleRange.End properties are read-only).

Thanks 
Meik

Hello Meik,

The only way to control the VisibleRange from code-behind is by setting the CurrentDate and FirstDayOfWeek properties. Why is this not enough for you?

Valeri,
thank you for your quick response - in my scenario I do have an non-Telerik calendar control which I need to synchronize with the Telerik SchedulerView - the visible range should always be the same. But you're right, the CurrentDate will do.

Thanks again,
Meik

I have a calendar popup that returns a date as well as the number of days the user wants to view ahead on the timeline.

So assuming the user selected a date, I would want the visible range to start at that date and go ahead the selected number of days, so that the user can scroll that in the scheduler, as opposed to clicking on the next 5 days arrow.

is this possible?

Hi Wade,

You can achieve the desired scenario by setting CurrentDate of the ScheduleView (this will be the start date). And setting the VisibleDays of the TimelineViewDefinition afterwards (this will be the duration). For an example please check the following code snippet:

private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    this.ScheduleView.CurrentDate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(3);

    // Assuming we have only a TimelineViewDefinition
    this.ScheduleView.ActiveViewDefinition.VisibleDays = 3;
}

Hope this helps.
