My client is an hotel and needs a room planner. So I´ve configured the calendar to timeline view putting the date on top and the resources (rooms) on the left, grouping by resource.
My need is to select an area across multiple resources in TimeLine view mode, and then create corresponding appointments via the in-place editor.

is it possible? ???
Thanks in advance  for your feedback,

Fabio

Hello Meppy, thank you for feedback.

Your work around is good solution! In that case, is possible highlight the resources I’ve selected in the list box by highlighting header, visualizing a check, or whit other solution?

Thank you in advance,
Fabio

OK, THANS!!!

Another question: is there a vb.net tutorial/guide?

OK, Meppy thanks for your feedback!!!!

Here is an updated sample:

The list view is now gone and the check boxes are embedded in the resource row headers next to the expand/collapse icon. However, it is not possible to add a data row under the time line. You still have to select within any of the resource rows.

The trial version does not expire. The only limitation is that it displays a small label in the lower left corner of the control area.

1) You have to use custom drawing to achieve that. Set the Calendar.CustomDraw property to CustomDrawElements.ResourceViewCell and handle the Calendar.Draw event. Then simply paint the entire cell with a particular color if the cell is (partially) within the current selection.

2) You can achieve that by adding more than one resource to the appropriate collection of the Item (thus associating the item with more than one resource at a time). Items that are associated with many resources appear multiple times in the calender - once for each associated resource. Moving one of the item instances automatically updates the other.

For example, to associate an item with more than one contact, use the following code:

item.Contacts.Add(contact1);
item.Contacts.Add(contact2);

Sure. Instead of creating many items, each of which associated with an individual resource, simply associate the item already created by the user with all selected resources. Try the following modification:

e.Item.Resources.Add(r); 

instead of

Appointment app = e.Item.Clone() as Appointment;
app.Resources.Clear();
app.Resources.Add(r);
calendar.Schedule.Items.Add(app); 

in the ItemCreated event handler.
