[Solved] Leaving space beside appointment items

[Casey]

Is it possible to increase the space left to the right side of an appointment item so that users can double-click or right-click and use the context menu to create a new appointment that overlaps an existing appointment?  The AJAX scheduler leaves a larger space by default, is it possible to create a similar space in the silverlight scheduler?

Hi Casey,

In order to increase the free space in the timeslots when there are appointments, you will need to customize the GroupHeaderStyleSelector of the ScheduleView. More specifically you will have to increase the padding inside HorizontalBottomLevelTodayGroupHeaderStyle or VerticalBottomLevelGroupHeaderStyle according to the Orientation of the ViewDefintion.

Please check the Styling the GroupHeaders topic in our documentation for detailed information on using the GroupHeaderStyleSelector. I have also attached a sample project which demonstrates the needed approach, note that I've used Implicit Styles to apply the theme to RadScheduleView.

Hope this will be helpful.
