I am new to mindfusion control. can you please tell me how to add tooltip for an appointment and applying different colour for the different appointments.

many thanks
Sam

Thank you meppy...
I like to know how can I colour the cells partially. for example non working works should be highlighted with some colour.


many thanks

I am using resource view..

calendar1.Draw += new EventHandler<DrawEventArgs>(CellColor);
      private void CellColor(object sender, DrawEventArgs e)
      {
          if (e.Date.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Saturday || e.Date.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Sunday)
          {
              Rectangle bounds = e.Bounds;
              bounds.Width -= 1;
              bounds.Height -= 1;
    using (Brush brush = new SolidBrush(Color.Red))
     e.Graphics.FillRectangle(brush, bounds);
          } 
      }

I am getting error in FillRectangle....

many thanks

I am really sorry meppy its my mistake I didnt add mindfusion.common dll.. now its working fine.

many thanks

You need to manually perform the necessary calculation based on the start and end time of the cell and its size. Here is a sample code to get you started:

...
Rectangle bounds = e.Bounds;
bounds.Width -= 1;
bounds.Height -= 1;

float pixelsPerTick = (float)bounds.Width / (e.EndTime.Ticks - e.StartTime.Ticks);
float x12am = 0;
float x9am = TimeSpan.FromHours(9).Ticks * pixelsPerTick;

RectangleF newBounds = new RectangleF(bounds.X + x12am, bounds.Y, x9am - x12am, bounds.Height);

using (Brush brush = new SolidBrush(Color.Red))
      e.Graphics.FillRectangle(brush, newBounds);
... 

I hope this helps.

Unfortunately currently it is not possible to have different band sizes. You may be able to achieve this by removing the bands entirely and attempt to mimic their appearance using custom drawing.

Try setting Calendar.EnableOptimization to true. This will cause items to repaint themselves only when their size changes. Unfortunately the load time is one of the things that are unlikely to improve as a result. Interactions inside the control should be faster though.

Also make sure that all of the initializations of the control are wrapped in a BeginInit/EndInit block to avoid unnecessary repainting.

The cells in the Resource view have fixed size based on content and scaling therefore when the available space increases the number of displayed cells increases proportionally. If you want to have a fixed number of visible cells regardless of the size of the control, you have to play around with the TimelineScale property in the ResourceViewSettings class.

Check this topic and the associated sample. That's exactly what it does.
