Cell Width in Resource View

Dear all, We are just starting to evaluate Planner .NET as a replacement to a home-grown calendar in our Training Database application.

In order to make it replicate functionality that our users are already used to, I need to find out how I can determine the width of a 'day' cell in ResourceView, so I can programmatically offer the user the choice of seeing a day, week or month across the window.

I have looked everywhere in the function reference in the hjelpfile and even tried to do math based on the number of days currently in view and TimelineScale, but nothing is working... any ideas?

Thanks.

Hi,

Cell sizes in resource view are calculated so that their text, displayed in the current format and culture, could fit. There is no direct access to the size of the cell, but it can be manually estimated. The following example demonstrates how:

https://mindfusion.eu/_samples/_sample_ResourceViewCellSize.zip

When you resize the control in the example it will set the appropriate scale so that 30 days are visible in the view at any given time.

Let me know if this helps.

Regards,
Meppy

Meppy,

Thanks for a comprehensive sample. I have tried this and found that with a few tweaks and converting to VB .Net, it does the job just fine.

I have two other questions to post, but I will do each as a separate thread to keep the forum clean.

Thanks again for the quick response.

Graham
