How to show description on Appointment List

[ALEX]

Hi,

I'm using "RadControls for WinForms Q3 2011 SP1" internal build "2011.3.11.1219". I would like to show the description on appointment list. I was added the description on appointment buy it not appear on list. It always showing "Location" instead of "Description". I try to change the "AppointmentTitleFormat" but there has no way to show the description. I am testing it on Demo Radschedule\Group. How can i show the description at appointment?

Here is demo sample code from telerik.

 

protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
        {
            base.OnLoad(e);

            DateTime baseDate = DateTime.Today;
            DateTime[] start = new DateTime[] { baseDate.AddHours(14.0), baseDate.AddDays(1.0).AddHours(9.0), baseDate.AddDays(2.0).AddHours(13.0) };
            DateTime[] end = new DateTime[] { baseDate.AddHours(16.0), baseDate.AddDays(1.0).AddHours(15.0), baseDate.AddDays(2.0).AddHours(17.0) };
            string[] summaries = new string[] { "Mr. Brown", "Mr. White", "Mrs. Green" };
            string[] descriptions = new string[] { "desc1", "desc 2", "desc3" }; // this is i added
            string[] locations = new string[] { "City", "Out of town", "Service Center" };
            AppointmentBackground[] backgrounds = new AppointmentBackground[] { AppointmentBackground.Business, AppointmentBackground.MustAttend, AppointmentBackground.Personal };

            this.radSchedulerDemo.Appointments.BeginUpdate();
            //radSchedulerDemo.AppointmentTitleFormat = "{0} to {1}<br>, {2} ({3}) {4} {5}";

            Appointment appointment = null;


            appointment = new Appointment(baseDate.AddHours(11.0), baseDate.AddHours(12.0), "summary", "description", "Garage");
            appointment.RecurrenceRule = new DailyRecurrenceRule(baseDate.AddHours(11.0), 2);
            this.radSchedulerDemo.Appointments.Add(appointment);
            this.radSchedulerDemo.Appointments.EndUpdate();

            Color[] colors = new Color[]{Color.LightBlue, Color.LightGreen, Color.LightYellow,
                Color.Red, Color.Orange, Color.Pink, Color.Purple, Color.Peru, Color.PowderBlue};

            string[] names = new string[]{"Alan Smith", "Anne Dodsworth",
                "Boyan Mastoni", "Richard Duncan", "Maria Shnaider"};

            for (int i = 0; i < names.Length; i++)
            {
                Resource resource = new Resource();
                resource.Id = new EventId(i);
                resource.Name = names[i];
                resource.Color = colors[i];

                resource.Image = this.imageList1.Images[i];
                this.radSchedulerDemo.Resources.Add(resource);
            }

            this.radSchedulerDemo.GetDayView().ResourcesPerView = 2;
            this.radSchedulerDemo.GroupType = GroupType.Resource;
            SchedulerDayViewGroupedByResourceElement headerElement = this.radSchedulerDemo.SchedulerElement.ViewElement as SchedulerDayViewGroupedByResourceElement;
            headerElement.ResourceHeaderHeight = 135;

            for (int i = 0; i < summaries.Length; i++)
            {
                appointment = new Appointment(start[i], end[i], summaries[i],
                    descriptions[i], locations[i]);
                appointment.ResourceId = this.radSchedulerDemo.Resources[0].Id;
                appointment.BackgroundId = (int)backgrounds[i];
                this.radSchedulerDemo.Appointments.Add(appointment);
            }

            SchedulerDayViewGroupedByResourceElement dayView = this.radSchedulerDemo.SchedulerElement.ViewElement as SchedulerDayViewGroupedByResourceElement;
            dayView.ScrollToWorkHours();

            this.radSchedulerDemo.ActiveViewChanged += new EventHandler<SchedulerViewChangedEventArgs>(radSchedulerDemo_ActiveViewChanged);
            this.radSchedulerDemo.PropertyChanged += new PropertyChangedEventHandler(radSchedulerDemo_PropertyChanged);
            this.radSchedulerDemo.MouseDown += new MouseEventHandler(radSchedulerDemo_MouseDown);

            this.radSchedulerDemo.SchedulerElement.SetResourceHeaderAngleTransform(SchedulerViewType.Timeline, 0);

            this.radSchedulerNavigator1.AssociatedScheduler = this.radSchedulerDemo;
        }

Hello Alex, 

Thank you for writing.  

The AppointmentTitleFormat allows you to customize the text displayed in the appointment element. In the following help article, you can find the available options for embedding information in the title: http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/scheduler/appointments-and-dialogs/working-with-appointments

In order to show the descriptions, please subscribe to the AppointmentFormating event of RadScheduler and set the AppointmentElement property ShowAppointmentDescription to true. 

private void radScheduler1_AppointmentFormatting(object sender, SchedulerAppointmentEventArgs e)
{
    e.AppointmentElement.ShowAppointmentDescription = true;
}

I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions I would be glad to help.

Regards,
Dess
