MinAppointmentHeight for different appointments

[Eloy]

Hello!

How could I have two MinAppointmentHeight in the same ScheduleView? In other words, how could I have appointments with different heights?

This is how it should look like:

Thank you,

Hello Eloy,

In order to make multiple appointments with different heights you will need to create a custom AppointmentStyleSelector that inherits OrientedAppointmentItemStyleSelector and than create different Styles for each of the different appointments you want to have. You can find an example how to achieve this in our online demos.

Note that you will need to set the MinAppointmentHeight property of RadScheduleView to a value greater than the greatest height of your custom appointment styles.

The next code snippet represents a sample custom appointment style:

<Style x:Key="height200Style" TargetType="scheduleView:AppointmentItem"
        BasedOn="{StaticResource AppointmentItemVerticalStyleBase}">
    <Setter Property="Height" Value="200"/>
    <Setter Property="Margin" Value="8 -200 8 2"/>
</Style>

Kind regards,

Thank you Vladi, now I have appointments with different heights :)

Appointments Type 1: Height = 20
Appointments Type 2: Height = 40

But when set the MinAppointmentHeight property on RadScheduleView to the minimum appointment height, appointments of type 2 appear with height 20.

And when I set the property MinAppointmentHeight to 40 the slots are divided into equal parts of height 40 so that appears an empty space in them:

How could I solve it to get this?

Hi Eloy,

The empty space that is being shown when you declare the MinAppointmentHeight is caused by the way  appointments are being rendered in the control. The value from the MinAppointmentHeight is reserved for the appointment rather than the lower value from the custom style.

I am afraid that this exact scenario you are trying to implement cannot be achieved with the current version of RadScheduleView.

Sorry for any inconvenience that this may be causing.

Hi,

I'm dealing with this problem too. Any change we can get different resource group header heights with different appointments height with no empty spaces in a Timeline view with the current version ?

Hello Daniel,

With the current version of Telerik controls there isn't any build in functionality that allows different heights to be set for each GroupHeader of RadScheduleView. Also, you could not set different heights for the appointments for the TimelineViewDefinition. That functionality is only available for the MonthViewDefinition and it was presented with Q2 2014 release version of the controls. You could find more information about it on the following link:

Hopes the provide information will help you.
