I would like to set the calendar height in time table view to exactly fit the time cells, header and border. Currently if I size the calendar to fit the height of the panel containing the calendar it displays an large cell at the bottom of the calendar. If the panel is smaller, it fits fine with the addition of vertical scroll bar. See the attached image to see what I am talking about.

Thank you,
John

Hi,

You can calculate the total height by multiplying the number of cells by the cell size and adding the height of the header(s).

[code]var settings = calendar.TimetableSettings;
int cellCount = (int)Math.Ceiling((settings.EndTime - settings.StartTime) / settings.CellTime.TotalMinutes);
var headerBounds = calendar.GetElementBounds(CalendarElement.TimetableColumnHeader, 0);
int height = cellCount * settings.CellSize + headerBounds.Height;[/code]

I hope this helps.

Hi Meppy,
That helps. I think my difficulty is in how to set the timetable start and end times for a 24 hour period not starting at midnight. IE 6AM day 1 to 6AM day 2. Can you advise how best to do that?

Thanks,
John

Hi,

Use the StartTime and EndTime properties of the TimetableSettings class:

[code]calendar.TimetableSettings.StartTime = 360; // 6 AM in minutes
calendar.TimetableSettings.EndTime = 1800; // 6 AM on the following day[/code]

Hello,
I carefully read you post and I wish your advise to a different calculation. My Timetable is in a form and I would to display the same time range (06:00 to 19:00) whatever is the height of the form.
To be clear: I would always see the range from startTime to endTime without any vertical scrollbar, my calendar have to fit the height of the form, the adjustment will be the cell height. Should I use zoom property?
Kind regards

Precisely. Set the UseZoom property and the cell sizes will be automatically calculated so that all cells fit in the visible space:

[code]calendar.TimetableSettings.UseZoom = State.Enabled;
calendar.TimetableSettings.StartTime = 360; // 6 AM in minutes
calendar.TimetableSettings.EndTime = 1140; // 7 PM in minutes[/code]

Great, thank you! It avoids me lot of work and calculations!
(documentation is not much verbose on usage of this function...)
