Chat Time Break
Updated on Nov 13, 2025
The TimeBreak item of the RadChat control encapsulates a group of messages according to a certain condition, such as given time intervals or read/unread messages. It is visualized as a dividing line across the messages board with a text message attached to it.
TimeBreak derives from ChatItem and provides an additional Text property which holds the string message.
Adding a Time Break
The following example shows how to create a sample TimeBreak item:
c#
chat.Items.Add(new TextMessage { Author = bot, Text = "Hello there" });
chat.Items.Add(new TimeBreak() { Text = "Unread" });
chat.Items.Add(new TextMessage() { Author = bot, Text = "How are you today?" });
