Hi,

If i add an item that starts at say 21:00 on the 25th and finishes at 15:00 on the 26th it should add an item in both day columns but it doesnt even display.

I have got the header switced off as i dont want this and in timetable view.  The items are definitely adding to the schedule though.

Just tried and if i switch the day header on the items span fine!

cal.TimetableSettings.ShowDayHeader = State.Enabled;

     cal.TimetableSettings.CellTime = resourceItem.DisplayMinsPerCell;
     cal.TimetableSettings.StartTime = (60 * resourceItem.StartTime.Hour) + resourceItem.StartTime.Minute;
     cal.TimetableSettings.EndTime = (60 * resourceItem.EndTime.Hour) + resourceItem.EndTime.Minute;
     cal.TimetableSettings.WorkTimeStartHour = resourceItem.WorkStart.Hour;
     cal.TimetableSettings.WorkTimeEndHour = resourceItem.WorkEnd.Hour;
     cal.TimetableSettings.TwelveHourFormat = State.Disabled;
     cal.TimetableSettings.HeaderDateFormat = "ddd dd MMM";

     cal.TimetableSettings.ColumnBandSize = 10;
     cal.ItemSettings.MoveBandSize = 10;

     AddDaysToCalendar();  ---- below ---

     cal.TimetableSettings.VisibleColumns = 5;

     cal.EndInit();

    private void AddDaysToCalendar()
    {
     cal.TimetableSettings.Dates.Clear();

     for (int i = 0; i < daysToDisplay; i++)
     {
       cal.TimetableSettings.Dates.Add(
         starttime + new TimeSpan(i, 0, 0, 0));         
     }
    }

The resource item is just whats linked to the calendar - and holds a start time and end time.  Days to display is just the number of days to display on the timetable.

Ive looked at this more and i can create the item by highlighting the cells spanning 2 days on the calendar and then typing.  This is ok. Well almost - i cant add an item to the calendar if i highlight > the same cell in the next day for some reason.  It just wont let me start typing.

The way it disappears is if i add an item to the calendar in a single cell and then open the item and set its end time to +1 day.  It then disappears when i return the the calendar.

Its just clicked that i didnt use your stock form for the item - but one i did myself! I'll go and double check the code on that form! I'll let you know what i find.

The item above though - not been able to add an item > 1 day is a problem ive recreated easily in a new simple project with this code in the form:

cal.TimetableSettings.ShowDayHeader = State.Disabled;

      cal.TimetableSettings.StartTime = (60 * 8);
      cal.TimetableSettings.EndTime = (60 * 21);
      cal.TimetableSettings.WorkTimeStartHour = 9;
      cal.TimetableSettings.WorkTimeEndHour = 17;
      cal.TimetableSettings.TwelveHourFormat = State.Disabled;
      cal.TimetableSettings.HeaderDateFormat = "ddd dd MMM";
     
      cal.TimetableSettings.ColumnBandSize = 10;
      cal.ItemSettings.MoveBandSize = 10;
     
      AddDaysToCalendar();
     
      cal.TimetableSettings.VisibleColumns = 5;
     
      cal.EndInit();
      
    }

    private void AddDaysToCalendar()
    {
     cal.TimetableSettings.Dates.Clear();

     for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
     {
       cal.TimetableSettings.Dates.Add(
         new DateTime(2006,04,26) + new TimeSpan(i, 0, 0, 0));
     }
    }

If you want to enable the all-day header and still wish to prevent the items from 'falling off' the calendar, try using the following code in the ItemModifying event handler:

if (e.NewStartTime < cal.GetFirstDate())
  e.Confirm = false;

if (e.NewEndTime > cal.GetLastDate())
  e.Confirm = false;

We will add a property in the next release to prevent items from disappearing when they are longer than 24 hours.

As for the TwelveHourFormat property, its behavior seems to be reversed, i.e. it displayes 12 hours when it is set to Disabled, and 24 hours when it is set to Enabled. This will also be fixed in the next release.

Any updates available where we have the ability to force 24-hour length items to draw inside the timetable grid?

Thanks

I set the TimetableSettings.EnableDayItems property to disabled, and the timetable now behaves exactly as we requested.  Thanks for this change.
