Hey Guys
Just a quick one. Is it possible to change the size of the appointment width in a Ultra Day View?
The current way it works is that when you add an appointment it fill the appointment to the available size of the View. so if you have 2 at the same time, it makes them 50% of the total width each.
I would however like to set a pixel size for appointments, so if there is only one, it does not fill the entire width.
I hope that is clear
Thanks in advance for any help
Cheers
Hey Aaron
Good Point and infact i am toying with that right now. The problem being there about be 70 tables at the restuarant, so not sure what that will end up looking like, but like I said, am giving it a go now
Thanks again for the help, really good advice
Why not use multiple appointment owners... grouped by date
Make each table at your restuarant represent an Owner.
Then each table will have its own "column" and will be much more logical to look at. In most cases you will never overlap/double book a single table so you will not have the problem of different width appointment objects.
I assume you are familiar with the concept of multiple owners etc. If this approach is not suitable, I would be interested as to know why.

Sorry for the confusion
Pretty much i am making a reservation system for a restaurant
When somone books a table, it adds the appointmentthe only thing i was meaning was a timeslot where there is 5 reservations will have them split to share the widthwhich is fine, working perfectly, and then under that there is one 1 reservation, but its appointment spans the entire width
i was was just saying that i would like all reservations to be the same width, not depending on how many other bookings there are.
It is not a problem at all, i was just wondering if you could
Thanks again to everyone for your replys so far, I appreciate the help
If you are looking for a way to visually highlight a particular Appointment, you should know that the Appointment object exposes an Appearance property. You could set (for example) the Appointment.Appearance.BackColor property to some arbitrary color for Appointments that you want to stand out from others. I'm not sure, however, that I understand why an appointment that spans the width of the control (which by definition means that it does not intersect with any others) should be considered "more important" in the context of booking reservations. If you want to expand on that point we can try to help.
Ok thanks for the heads up.
Sounds like something I should not mess with then The only reason i was looking at trying as that I am making a reservation system and the bookings that span the entire day view width, just seem to me like they are more important than the ones that are shared width. It is purely cosmetic, so not to worry
