Hi,

1) The CustomResourceCells sample illustrates how to customize the appearance of individual cells in the Resource view by providing custom templates. You need to add a condition that checks if the cell represents a weekend or non-working hour. The time of the cell can be obtained from the CellPresenter object provided to the CellPresenterCreated event handler.

2) You cannot create custom themes but you can customize various aspects of the view appearance through the view settings. The settings of the Resource view can be obtained through the Calendar.ResourceViewSettings property. If you provide me with more details about what you would like to customize, I may be able to prepare a sample application to illustrate how to do it.

Hi,

1) Defining a custom theme will be a tedious task as it requires that all settings for all views are specified. If you are interested only in the the Resource view, you can probably reuse the settings of one of the other themes for the rest of the views, but the Resource view alone has a fair amount of properties.

Anyway, if you want to create a custom theme, have a look in the Theme.cs file. All of the standard themes are defined there. You need to add similar entries for your own theme as well as a new constant in the ThemeType enumeration.

2) A sample application, which demonstrates some of these customizations, can be downloaded from here. The sample also demonstrates how to custom-paint the weekend cells.

You can use the same technique from the sample in my previous post. First you need to define a custom CellPresenter style. For example, the following style is a copy of the default cell style with its background set to PaleGoldenrod:

<Style x:Key="CustomCellStyle" TargetType="{x:Type planner:CellPresenter}">
	<Style.Triggers>

		<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding StyleKey, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}" Value="Simple">
			<Setter Property="Template">
				<Setter.Value>
					<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type planner:CellPresenter}">

						<Border
							DataContext="{Binding Path=., RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}"
							BorderBrush="{Binding CellStyle.BorderBrush}"
							BorderThickness="{Binding CellStyle.BorderThickness}"
							Background="PaleGoldenrod"
							Margin="{Binding CellStyle.Margin}" />

					</ControlTemplate>
				</Setter.Value>
			</Setter>
		</DataTrigger>

	</Style.Triggers>

</Style> 

Then, you need to handle the Calendar.CellPresenterCreated event and conditionally apply the custom style to cells matching specific criteria:

private void Calendar_CellPresenterCreated(object sender, CellPresenterEventArgs e)
{
	if (IsMeetingOrBusy(e.Presenter))
	{
		Style customStyle = FindResource("CustomCellStyle") as Style;
		if (customStyle != null)
			e.CellPresenter.Style = customStyle;
	}
} 

I hope this helps.
