Partially transparent appointment background

[Andrea Rapuzzi]

Hi Telerik,

I'm trying to customise the appearance of my RadScheduleView appointments. My target is to display the appointments as rectangles filled with a Transparent color (next I'll add an external border to be shown).

So, on the RadScheduleView, I've set

AppointmentItemContentTemplate="{StaticResource MyTemplate}"


having

<DataTemplate x:Key="MyTemplate">
        <Grid Background="Transparent">
                ...
        </Grid>
</DataTemplate>

However this keeps showing the appointment background filled with the appointment's Category brush.

The strange thing is that if I try to set

<DataTemplate x:Key="MyTemplate">
        <Grid Background="Aqua">
                ...
        </Grid>
</DataTemplate>

the appointment are actually colored in Aqua...

Is there a way to achieve my target?

Thank you!

Hello Andrea,

The AppointmentItemContentTemplate just changes the content displayed in the Appointment. That's why when you set the Background to Transparent the default color appears which is below the template in the Style of the Appointment. So in order to modify that color you would need to edit the default AppointmentItemBaseStyle and set its Background property to Transparent. I have prepared a sample project which demonstrates the exact approach, please note I have used Implicit Styles to style the ScheduleView.

Hope this helps.
