Select Resource ID from TimeLineView from mouse position

[Karl balshaw]

Hi,

I am using the TimeLineView and have a number of (1 or more) employees set as my resouces.

I need to be able to identify the resource ID when the user right clicks on the radScheduler control to bring up the context menu.

This inculdes if the user clicks the appointment, the cell or even the resource label (if possible).

Any thoughts or guidance

Many thanks

Karl

Hello Karl,

Thank you for writing.

You can subscribe to the MouseDown of RadScheduler. In this event you can get the cell which is under the mouse cursor. From this cell you can take the parent view. This view has only one resource, because the RadScheduler is grouped by resources.

Point point = this.radScheduler1.PointToClient(Cursor.Position);
TimelineGroupingByResourcesElement groupedDayViewElement = this.radScheduler1.SchedulerElement.ViewElement as TimelineGroupingByResourcesElement;
SchedulerCellElement cellElement = SchedulerUIHelper.GetCellAtPoint(point, groupedDayViewElement.GetTimelineElements());
SchedulerTimelineViewElement timelneViewElement = cellElement.Parent.Parent as SchedulerTimelineViewElement;
MessageBox.Show(timelneViewElement.View.GetResources()[0].Name);

In case you have further questions, feel free to contact us.

All the best,

Hi, 
I want to know if i can change header view of resources on Telerik Scheduler. I want to set it vertically :(

Hello gezim,

Currently, modifying the layout of resource headers is not supported. They are aligned vertically only in TimelineView. You can see this on the attached screenshot. To enable TimelineView, you can use the following code:

this.radScheduler1.ActiveViewType = SchedulerViewType.Timeline;

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask if you have any additional questions.

hmmm.. I was thinking how I can set resources header text like Timeline Grouping example. The header text is from bottom to top, how can I do it? any property??

Hi gezim,

The resource header text in grouped TimelineView should be aligned from bottom to top by default. Nevertheless, you can the rotation angle of the text by using the following code:

this.radScheduler1.SchedulerElement.SetResourceHeaderAngleTransform(SchedulerViewType.Timeline, -90);

I hope you find this useful.
