Rad Scheduler Month View

[Gary]

When in Month or timeline view is it possible to display the time on each appointment like outlook does

ie 15:00 16:00 Meeting with Alex and is is possible to put a little icon before the times to denote the type of appointment for example telephone call, demonstrations, meeting etc. The icons being placed where I have put the £ % and * symbols below

£  09:00 10:00 Call alex
% 15:00 16:00 Meeting with Bank
* 17:00:17:30 Demo at suppliers

Thanks

Hello Gary,

Yes, this is possible with templates. Please, try the following code:

aspx:

<AppointmentTemplate>
            <asp:Literal ID="AppointmentType" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Type") %>'></asp:Literal>

            (<asp:Literal ID="AppointmentStartTime" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Start", "{0:t}") %>'></asp:Literal>
            -
            <asp:Literal ID="AppoitmentEndTime" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("End", "{0:t}") %>'></asp:Literal>)
            <asp:Literal ID="AppointmentSubject" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Subject") %>'></asp:Literal>
        </AppointmentTemplate>

Where "Type" is a custom attribute.

code-behind:

public class AppTemplate : ITemplate
    {
        public void InstantiateIn(Control container)
        {
            Literal subject = new Literal();
            subject.DataBinding += subject_DataBinding;
            container.Controls.Add(subject);
        }

        private void subject_DataBinding(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Literal subject = (Literal) sender;
            IDataItemContainer aptContainer = (IDataItemContainer)subject.BindingContainer;
            string strSubject = HttpUtility.HtmlEncode((string)DataBinder.Eval(aptContainer.DataItem, "Subject"));
            subject.Text = strSubject;
        }
    }
    protected void RadScheduler1_NavigationComplete(object sender, SchedulerNavigationCompleteEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Command != SchedulerNavigationCommand.SwitchToMonthView)
        {
            RadScheduler1.AppointmentTemplate = new AppTemplate();
        }
    }

Code behind is used to revert the appointment appearance to just show text in views other than MonthView.
