Timetable view hour formatting

I want to show the hours across the top of a calendar timetable view formatted according to the regional settings, e.g.
"HH:mm" shows from 9am: "09, 10, 11, 12, 13..."
"H:mm" shows : "9, 10, 11, 12, 13 ..."
"hh:mm" shows: "09, 10, 11, 12, 01"
"h:mm: shows : "9, 10, 11, 12, 1..."

I am only showing the hours, any minutes are being hidden by setting TimelineStyle.TextColor as suggested here: http://mindfusion.eu/Forum/YaBB.pl?board=calnet_disc;action=display;num=13068686.... How do I do this and perhaps I should ask why doesn't it do this automatically?

ATM I am setting the TwelveHourFormat property according to the settings but I never get any leading zeroes if dictated by the regional settings.

Currently the only way to affect how hours are displayed in the timeline (apart from custom drawing) is through the TwelveHourFormat property. We have done this for simplicity and unfortunately there are some cases, which are not covered.

Hmm. Well I am happy to use a custom drawing method but the Text property (and all the others for that) of the DrawEventArgs class are readonly. So how can I change the text that is shown using custom drawing?

The intent of the custom drawing is not to customize the values of various properties. The idea is to allow users to draw directly on top of various calendar elements. To do the drawing simply invoke the methods of the supplied graphics object. In this particular case you can draw a text in the desired format inside the timeline cells.

OK thanks. Hiding the underlying timeline hours by setting the TimelineStyle.HeaderTextColor = Color.Transparent presumably?
