Refresh MinimapSchedule in ScheduleView and TimeBar demo

[Sergey]

In the ScheduleView and TimeBar demo MinnimapSchedule doesn't refresh when you move/resize appointment in the MainSchedule. You can trigger refresh if you move the TimeBar slider. Is it done fore performance reasons? How can you force refresh on appointment change?

MinimapSchedule also doesn't refresh when you click to the left/right of the TimeBar slider to scroll the TimeBar page up/down. How can you enforce refresh on page up/down?

Hi Sergey,

As to the first issue -  there is a bug in TimelineViewDefinition  - the view is not updated when a new appointment is added. This issue in already logged in our PITS, you can vote and track its progress here.

As a workaround you can handle AppointmentSaving event of the MainScheduleVIew and manually update the AppointmentsSource of the MinimapScheduleView:

private void MainSchedule_AppointmentSaving(object sender, Controls.AppointmentSavingEventArgs e)
{
    var apps = MinimapSchedule.AppointmentsSource;
    MinimapSchedule.AppointmentsSource = null;
    MinimapSchedule.AppointmentsSource = apps;
}

Also note that in the demo we have set different AppointmentsSource to both ScheduleViews - you should set only one.

As to the second question - can you explain it in more details and/or send us a screenshot? Thanks in advance


Kind regards,

The workaround works, thanks!

I added screenshots to explain the second problem. Notice how in result.png the MinimapSchedule is not updated to reflect changed visible period of the TimeBar.

Hello Sergey,

Thank you for providing the screenshots.

We will need some additional time to research this behavior, I will write here as soon as we have a result.

Hi Sergey,

The issue seems more complicated than initially expected. We will need to review and update the whole example, because there are some other issues as well. I am afraid that at the moment we cannot commit to a certain timeframe for this - most probably it will be completed for the Q3 release.

We are sorry for any inconvenience caused.

All the best,
Yana
