RadScheduler Appointment Displays Truncated in WeekView Mode

[Dan Ehrmann]

I have a page that contains the RadScheduler component.  The appointments (subject) display fine in DayView and MonthView modes.  However, in Weekview mode the only appointments that appear to display correctly are ones where there is only one appointment for the timeslot.  If there are more than one, they use a fraction of the space in the current cell.

For example:

• If I have one appointment for 9:00am, it displays fine

• If I have two appointments for 9:00am, the first appointment uses only half the width of the cell (instead of the full width), and the second appointment displays the same way directly underneath the first
• If I have three appointments for 9:00am, the first appointment uses only one third of the width of the cell (instead of the full width), and the second and third appointments display the same way directly underneath the first.

My goal is for each appointment subject to use the entire width of a cell.  If there is more than one appointment for a specific timeslot, they should display vertically in the cell -- not horizontally.

I sample screen shot of the problem is attached.  How do I obtain this result?

Hi Dan Ehrmann,

Unfortunately I was not able to reproduce the issue. You can see the appointments starting at same hour to be displayed vertically on our Demos. Please take a look at the picture below (it is made from "Customization" demo with Skin="Telerik"):



I've changed the ticket type to "Support" so you can attach the complete code. That way I can inspect it and help you.

Veronica --

I just ran the customization demo you mention and changed a couple of the appointment times to show you what I mean.  On Friday, March 30th, I changed the 10:30am appoint and the 1:30pm appointment times to be 11:30am so that there are 3 appointments on Friday at 11:30am.  If you look at the attached screen shot, you will see that the appointments are horizontally displayed and each takes up 1/3 of the width of the cell for Friday at 11:30 as follows:

Appt 1 | Appt 2 | Appt 3

Instead of being smashed together like this, which causes the subject line to wrap to multiple lines, I want the appointments for Friday at 11:30 to appear one after the other, as follows:

Appt 1
______
Appt 2
______
Appt 3
______

I also want the timeslot height to expand automatically, based on the number of appointments that are in that timeslot.

Hope this helps clarify the main problem.

Hello Dan Ehrmann,

This is not available since when you display the appointments vertically in WeekView it will look like these below are with different start time. For example at 12:30 am and 1:30 pm. 

That's why I thought you are talking about the TimelineView.

I had asked a question here about getting events to stack vertically but i just realized that all day events do that. I saw in another thread that are plans to allow users to hide the all day area, in whcih case all day events would display in the table. What I really need is to be able to turn off the table. Will either of these features be implemented in the near future? If so, which one(s) and what's the timeframe?

Hello Kwame Johnson,

Yes, you are right. All-day appointments are ordered vertically. You can disable the all-day row by setting the ShowAllDayRow property to "false". Please take a look at the "Customization Demo" to see the property in action.

As for turning off the  table - we don't support it for now and will consider implementing it in the future.
