ScheduleView size - fit to width

[XamlmaX2]

Is there any way to get the scheduleview to fit the width of it's container or does it have to be a fixed width?
When I put it inside a ScrollViewer it doesn't display scrollbars unless I set the width explicitly.
Is this something that will be fixed in the future?
Thanks

Hello Pete,

RadScheduleView should not be placed in ScrollViewer because ScrollViewer will measure it with infinity and this will disable schedule view virtualization. Also ScheduleView has its own scroll bars and will show them when needed.

Let us know if you need more information.

So that means that the ScheduleView has to have fixed dimensions?

Not at all. Just place it inside a Grid or a Border and it will adapt itself to the space available, and show scrollbars as necessary. But if you place it in a Grid, make sure you do not set the size of the Row/Column to Auto. If you do it will assume that the available space is endless.

Great! That's helped a lot. Thanks!

I have placed it inside a Grid and it still does not adjust. I can see both vertical and horizontal scroll bars, but what I really need is fit it to the width of the window, which it still doesn't do. What do I need to set to make it behave the way I need?

Hi Vitaly,

If you have placed RadScheduleView in a Grid and you see the ScrollBars then this means that control needs more width/height than available and will occupy/fill the available area.

What do you mean with it still doesn't fit?

Kind regards,

I expected the control to adjust its columns to fit within the window without scroll bars. Is that possible or it will not adjust less then a certain width?

[Hristo]

Hi Vitaly,

The columns will adjust only if there is more space then needed. If the space is not enough then we will show the scrollbars.
With 2011 Q1 Service pack 1 we added new properties which controls scrollbars visibility. If you want you can always hide the scrollbars but then RadScheduleView will be clipped if there is not enough space.

Best wishes,

My team and I would very much appreciate the ability to have the ScheduleView fit its container without scrollbars. Is this something that has been developed since this discussion took place? I would also be interested in hearing about any known workarounds to acheive this.

Thanks,
Eric

Hi Eric,

This could be achieved by setting MinTimeRulerExtent and MaxTimeRulerExtent properties of the ViewDefinitions of RadScheduleView:

<telerik:RadScheduleView>
    <telerik:RadScheduleView.ViewDefinitions>
        <telerik:DayViewDefinition x:Name="dvd"  />
        ...
        </telerik:RadScheduleView.ViewDefinitions>
       ....
</telerik:RadScheduleView>

dvd.MinTimeRulerExtent = 20d;
dvd.MaxTimeRulerExtent = Double.PositiveInfinity;

You can check here for more information about TimeRuler configuration.
