NoOfAppointmentsIncreasedWhenWindowMaximized.jpg

I am using a silverlight ScheduleView (showing the month view), and having this problem where not all the appointments are displayed when I expand the week row, using a small triangular toggle button at the bottom, to display all the appointments that fall on a day. I noticed that the no. of appointments displayed are variable and vary according to the browser window size/ monitor dimensions. If you minimize the window, the number of appointments displayed gets reduced and when you increase the window size, the no. of appointments displayed is increased. I have attached screen shots in-order for you to see the problem that I am facing. I really don't set Margin/Padding anywhere in the xaml/code, neither have I customized the theme nor did I set any value to display minimum no. of appointments. This is really critical to my project, as lot of appointments/events (sometimes more than 30) fall on the same day and the above bug brings in some serious shortcomings to the ScheduleView. Please guide me to a solution at the earliest.

Thanks,
Adi

Hello Pooja,

In order to change the behaviour of the Expand Button you need to edit the template of the ScheduleView. You can do this very easy with Expression Blend. Just drop a ScheduleView on the design surface, right-click it and choose from the menu Edit Template->Edit a Copy. Then Blend will generate all the needed resources. Find the style with x:Name=” ExpandMonthViewButtonStyle” and edit its template like so:

<Setter Property="Template">

<Setter.Value>

<ControlTemplate TargetType="telerik:RadToggleButton">

<Grid x:Name="Root">

<Border x:Name="CheckOuterBorder" CornerRadius="1" BorderThickness="1" BorderBrush="{StaticResource MonthViewExpandOuterBorder}"

Background="{StaticResource MonthViewExpandButtonBackground}">

<Rectangle x:Name="CheckInnerBorder" Stroke="{StaticResource MonthViewExpandInnerBorder}" />

</Border>

<telerik:RadButton Command="local:RadScheduleViewCommands.SetDayViewMode">

<StackPanel>

<Path x:Name="Expand" Data="M0,0 L7,0 L3.5,4 Z" Fill="{StaticResource MonthViewExpandIconStroke}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" />

<Path x:Name="Collapse" Visibility="Collapsed" Data="M0,4 L7,4 L3.5,0 Z" Fill="{StaticResource MonthViewExpandIconStroke}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" />

</StackPanel>

</telerik:RadButton>

</Grid>

..........</Setter>

That will make the expand button to redirect to the DayView.

Hope this helps.

Konstantina-

I'm just trying to understand what's happening here. On 8/23, you said that Telerik would try to provide a fix for this. I didn't hear anything further, even though you said you would contact me when you had more information. On 9/30, I asked if the issue had been resolved and you are now telling me that you can't reproduce it. Are you suggesting that the issue has been resovled in a subsequent release and I wasn't notified, or that no one really bothered to look into the issue when it was submitted originally and the responses were canned? Neither one is really ideal.

The issue itself isn't difficult to reproduce - just put 30+ appointments on a single day in month view on a small monitor; you either see them all or not. I assume you've done this already and everything was fine so I should just be able to get the latest version and everything should be good to go. If worst comes to worst, I'll get a sample together.

Hey Guys-

This problem does appear to be resolved, but now I'm seeing a related issue popping up. I work primarily in month view. With my current resolution, the ScheduleView defaults to showing me four appointments and the expansion button (if there are more than four appointments on that day). However, if I save a new appointment on a day that already has four displayed, the ScheduleView displays a fifth where the expansion button should be and I can no longer click it.

If there are any days in the same week that have four appointments or less, you can click the expansion button on one of those to expand the row. If there aren't and you are able to scroll away from the week in question until it is no longer displayed, you can do that and then scroll back and the expansion buttons will reappear. But this seems like something that isn't working as designed. Please respond when you get a moment and let me know if you are fixing it or if there is some sort of workaround.

Ok - I just grabbed SP1 from December 20; I'm still seeing this problem.

Again - my resolution is set to 1920 x 1200. The basic issue is that when my ScheduleView loads, if there are more than 4 appointments on a given day, the 5th appointment covers up the expansion button. Actually it even covers up a tiny sliver of the header of the following week, which leads me to believe it may be an issue with using the ScheduleView in a canvas.

If you move the vertical scrollbar even just a tiny bit or resize the browser the problem disappears. I will try to get a sample together for you guys. I am attaching two screenshots - the first is what it looks like right after the ScheduleView loads. The second is what happens if I scroll.

I was working on getting a sample project together and during that process I discovered that the problem is indeed related to using the ScheduleView inside of a canvas. In my case the z-indexing of the appointments is weird regardless of whether or not any canvas properties are even set for the ScheduleView. Simply put: if the ScheduleView tags appear within Canvas tags, you can run into problems. I see in the forums that plenty of other developers have done this without issue so I guess it must be something specific to having a large number of appointments on a single day in month view?

I'll try to see what other options I have. We have a fly-out filter that has to sit on top of the ScheduleView...maybe there's some other way to pull it off.
