Showing the time on a Timeline View

[Stuart Hemming]

Does anyone have any idea how I might show the current time in a timeline view?

I'm not talking about the header. I have a client who wants to see a view of the day in timeline view with a marker showing the place in the day, like this.

I know it can't be done out of the box, but I was wondering if anyone out there had any ideas about how it might be achieved.

Hello Stuart,

 
We thought of a possible workaround for this scenario by adding a new appointment that will show the current time. Here is the code that I used:

<telerik:RadScheduler runat="server" ID="RadScheduler1" SelectedView="TimelineView"
        TimelineView-ShowInsertArea="false" GroupBy="Room" GroupingDirection="Vertical"
        OnAppointmentDataBound="RadScheduler1_AppointmentDataBound" EnableExactTimeRendering="true">
    </telerik:RadScheduler>

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
       if (!IsPostBack)
       {
           Appointment app = new Appointment();
           app.Subject = "Test";
           app.Start = DateTime.Now;
           app.End = DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(1);
       }
   }

   protected void RadScheduler1_AppointmentDataBound(object sender, SchedulerEventArgs e)
   {
       if (e.Appointment.Subject=="Test")
       {
           e.Appointment.Start = DateTime.Now;
           e.Appointment.End = DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(1);
           e.Appointment.AllowDelete = false;
           e.Appointment.AllowEdit = false;
           e.Appointment.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
           e.Appointment.BorderColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
           Resource r = RadScheduler1.Resources.GetResourceByType("Room");
           e.Appointment.Resources.Add(r);
       }
   }

Hope this will be helpful.
