Hi,

The GetContactAt method seems to be working well in my tests in both Resource and Timetable views. Are you able to provide me with a small sample illustrating the problem, maybe its something related to your view settings?

Regarding Selection.Contact, this property has been removed some time ago (replaced by Selection.Resource). Are you sure you are running with the most up-to-date version of the control? If you mean Selection.Resource, this property indeed returns null in Resource view; you can check the Selection.Resources property in this case. The reason for this is that the Resource view can be grouped by more than one resource at a time. We will refactor this property to return a value in Resource view as well, probably the last resource in the chain if the view is grouped by multiple resources.

Hi,

Regarding Selection.Resource - this property is null in Resource view because this view supports grouping by multiple resources at once and this property could be ambiguous in certain scenarios. However, for the sake of consistency, we've made modifications to the control and this property should now return a valid reference in Resource view as well. In case of multiple grouping, this property should return the last resource in the chain. The modified version could be downloaded from the link below:

Regarding GetContactAt, note that this method expects its parameters to express client coordinates. If the MousePosition property in your code is the one inherited from Control, it is in screen coordinates and you need to convert it:

MsgBox(Calendar1.GetContactAt(Calendar1.PointToClient(MousePosition)).Id) 

I hope this helps.

Hi,

The version of the control should be 5.4.4.27957. You can check in the reference properties if it matches. Keep in mind that GetContactAt may still return null (Nothing in VB) for portions of the view with no contact association (for example the timelines above the cells) or for points that are completely outside of the control's bounds. Selection.Resource can return null as well, if there is no selection. Regarding your question, replacing the referenced assemblies with the ones from the link above should be enough.

I am not entirely sure what you mean. Can you rephrase this question or give an example of what you are trying to achieve?

If by highlight you mean select, then Selection.Resource is exactly what you need for this purpose. Let me know how it goes with the new version.

Can you check if this helps?

Hi,

This is our internal format for brushes. For solid brushes it looks like this "s:#AARRGGBB", where AA, RR, GG, and BB are the respective channels of the color of the brush.

You can use the hidden MindFusion.Drawing.GraphicObject.Serialize and MindFusion.Drawing.GraphicObject.Deserialize static methods to convert MindFusion brushes and pens to strings and vice versa. For example, to convert a brush to a string, you can do the following:

var stringRepresentation = MindFusion.Drawing.GraphicObject.Serialize(brush);
