Hi Georgi, thanks for your valuable reply.

I was done with both of these points. I had wait for your response but didn't get in 2-3 days and finally get the actual result after breaking the brain. Finally did as you suggest, create one list of appointments for the active day and accordingly set the height of the next appointment. Even the suggestion was helpful, thanks you much.

Ya sure, I have another question and its urgent as already i am too late. As i am able to increase the height of appointment and re-positioned properly, but i can't see "MoreActivityIndicator" button after increasing the height even the appointments on that day is hidden or partially hidden. I think the problem because of having an extra height for appointment of its actual height. Please can you modify the attached Creation Filter or give me some other idea about it because i am creating this first time and it takes too much time. Please see the attached creation filter and image for more detail.

Thanks you so much.

Hello Ashish,

Maybe one possible solution could be if you change location of your MoreActivityIndicatioUIElement. I see that you have available space in the left and right side. Another possible approach could be if you create additional MoreActivityIndicatioUIElement with parent DayNumberUIElement. By this way you MoreActivityIndicator will appear in the header of your Day Element.

Let me know if you have any questions.

        This solution i can't be implement as my control size changes runtime, hence the every single day resize and have to resize the width of appointment according to day in which it stays.

       I agree with this approach and i tried to add a new MoreActivityIndicatorUIElement to the DayHeaderUIElement and also tried to add on DayUIElement but it doesn't seem to work/visible. The following code is to add activity indicator to DayNumberUIElement, the same tried with DayUIElement, but also doesn't seem to work. And finally i put the same code in AfterCreateChildElements and the result is attached image.

Public Sub AfterCreateChildElements(ByVal parent As UIElement) Implements IUIElementCreationFilter.AfterCreateChildElements

       If TypeOf parent Is DayNumberUIElement Then
              Dim day As DayUIElement = TryCast(parent.Parent, DayUIElement)
              If day.Day.Appointments.Count = 0 Then
                 Exit Sub
              End If

              If day.Day.Appointments.Count > 1 Then
                     Dim objMoreActivityElement As New MoreActivityIndicatorUIElement(parent, day.Date)
                     objMoreActivityElement.Rect = New Rectangle(day.Rect.X - (day.Rect.X * 0.3), day.Rect.Y - (day.Rect.Y * 0.3), 20, 20)
                     day.ChildElements.Add(objMoreActivityElement)
                     day.MoreActivityIndicatorVisible = True
              End If
       End If

End Sub

       First of all, tried in BeforeCreateChildElements but not visible and then AfterCreateChildElements where visible but only one indicator over there, rather each day should have indicator where any of appointment is partially visible. The image is attached. 

Questions:
1. Ultimately, i want the indicator on the day i want. (Meaning, if the height of all appointments on day exceed the day's height)
2. How can i change the appearance of indicator button?

Can you please give me a sample code please?

It's Urgent...

Hi,

Please implement the code below to achieve the result from screenshot:

Code:

Public Class CreationUIElement

                Implements IUIElementCreationFilter

                Public Sub AfterCreateChildElements(parent As UIElement)

                                Dim El As Office2007MoreActivityIndicatorUIElement = TryCast(parent, Office2007MoreActivityIndicatorUIElement)

                                If El IsNot Nothing Then

                                                Dim aa = El.GetAncestor(GetType(WeekUIElement)).GetDescendant(GetType(DayNumberUIElement), El.[Date])

                                                El.Rect = New Rectangle(aa.Rect.X + aa.Rect.Width - El.Rect.Width, aa.Rect.Y + 2, El.Rect.Width, El.Rect.Height)

                                End If

                End Sub

                Public Function BeforeCreateChildElements(parent As UIElement) As Boolean

                                Return False

                End Function

End Class

Let me know if you have any questions

Hi Georgi, thanks for quick reply.

      I agreed and appreciate your answer.  I have tried with your sample and able to show indicator on DayHeader area but an ActivityIndicator is showing for only those day where it was already exist, we just change the location. Actually i want it on every day whether that day has appointments or not and accordingly i will show/hide AcivityIndicator in AfterCreateChildElements() method if possible.

      For this, i tried to add Office2007MoreActivityIndicator to DayNumberUIElement for the related date in BeforeCreateChildElements() method. The sample code is attached.

In BeforeCreateChildElements, here

dayHeader = DayNumberUIElements

day = DayUIElement

Dim objMoreActivityElement As New Office2007MoreActivityIndicatorUIElement(dayHeader, day.Date)

objMoreActivityElement.Rect = New Rectangle(dayHeader.Rect.X + dayHeader.Rect.Width - dayHeader.Rect.Width, dayHeader.Rect.Y + 2, objMoreActivityElement.Rect.Width, objMoreActivityElement.Rect.Height)
dayHeader.ChildElements.Add(objMoreActivityElement)

       An above code nothing affects to control. Even the position of indicators are not changed. So, can i add an ActivityIndicator to every day and can show/hide when i want. Can you please give me a proper sample for how to add ActivityIndicator and how to show/hide them because if i set objDayUIElement.MoreActivityIndicatorVisible property to true or false in any method(After/Before), it doesn't affect. 

I apologies for any mistakes or misunderstandings.

Thank you

Hi,

Please take a  look on the code below:

Public Class CreationUIElement

                Implements IUIElementCreationFilter

                Public Sub AfterCreateChildElements(parent As UIElement)

                                ' How to hide default MoreActivityIndicator

                                Dim OldIndicator As Office2007MoreActivityIndicatorUIElement = TryCast(parent, Office2007MoreActivityIndicatorUIElement)

                                If OldIndicator IsNot Nothing AndAlso OldIndicator.Parent.[GetType]() <> GetType(DayNumberUIElement) Then

                                                OldIndicator.Rect = New Rectangle(OldIndicator.Rect.X, OldIndicator.Rect.Y, 0, 0)

                                End If

                                ' How to add a new MoreActivityIndicators in the DayNumberUIElement

                                ' on specfici date

                                Dim El As DayNumberUIElement = TryCast(parent, DayNumberUIElement)

                                If El IsNot Nothing AndAlso El.Parent.[GetType]() = GetType(DayUIElement) AndAlso DirectCast(El.Parent, DayUIElement).[Date] > DateTime.Today.AddDays(5) Then

                                                Dim mIndicator As New Office2007MoreActivityIndicatorUIElement(El, DirectCast(El.Parent, DayUIElement).[Date])

                                                mIndicator.Rect = New Rectangle(El.Rect.X + El.Rect.Width - 10, El.Rect.Y + 2, 10, 10)

                                                El.ChildElements.Add(mIndicator)

                                End If

                                'Office2007MoreActivityIndicatorUIElement El = parent as Office2007MoreActivityIndicatorUIElement;

                                'if (El != null)

                                '{

                                '    var aa = El.GetAncestor(typeof(WeekUIElement)).GetDescendant(typeof(DayNumberUIElement), El.Date);

                                '    El.Rect = new Rectangle(aa.Rect.X + aa.Rect.Width - El.Rect.Width, aa.Rect.Y + 2, El.Rect.Width, El.Rect.Height);

                                '}

                End Sub

                Public Function BeforeCreateChildElements(parent As UIElement) As Boolean

                                Return False

                End Function

End Class

Using this piece of code:

   ' How to hide default MoreActivityIndicator

                                Dim OldIndicator As Office2007MoreActivityIndicatorUIElement = TryCast(parent, Office2007MoreActivityIndicatorUIElement)

                                If OldIndicator IsNot Nothing AndAlso OldIndicator.Parent.[GetType]() <> GetType(DayNumberUIElement) Then

                                                OldIndicator.Rect = New Rectangle(OldIndicator.Rect.X, OldIndicator.Rect.Y, 0, 0)

                                End If

you will be able to hide all default indicators, nevertheless of appointments

The next part of my code, will create Indicators in the headers. If you want to create indicators only for specific dates, you could extend IF condition. For example:

     If El IsNot Nothing AndAlso El.Parent.[GetType]() = GetType(DayUIElement) AndAlso DirectCast(El.Parent, DayUIElement).[Date] > DateTime.Today.AddDays(5) Then

Let me know if you have any questions

Hi Georgi,

        I am able to solve it. Thanks for all your valuable replies. I am adding the sample code in order to use for users like me, although i just want to tell you that make sure the "objDayUIElement.MoreActivityIndicatorVisible"  is implemented in V10.3 because till now i have not found to hide an indicator. So please check it and if so, then please send the feature request to your development department. And one more thing, if possible, can you give us the quick reply if urgent is specified in the post, please.

Hi Georgi, that was awesome. It is working fine. One last question, hope not problematic for you.

        Using your code, i am able to add Indicator to all the days, but as i mentioned in my last post that i want to hide it for some of the days. I have tried lot using objDayUIElement.MoreActivityIndicatorVisible = False , but its not working. After adding indicator to all the days. even it shows the old indicator that the control already shows when any of the appointment goes hidden or partially hidden. I want to just know that is it possible to hide indicator for some of the days and how to hide the control's default indicator as use my own i that you have provided in last post. See the attached image. That's it.

Hopefully this may be the last post regarding this issue from my end.

Thank you

Hi,

Please take a look on the code below:

Public Class CreationUIElement

                Implements IUIElementCreationFilter

                Public Sub AfterCreateChildElements(parent As UIElement)

                                Dim El As DayNumberUIElement = TryCast(parent, DayNumberUIElement)

                                If El IsNot Nothing Then

                                                Dim mIndicator As New Office2007MoreActivityIndicatorUIElement(El, DirectCast(El.Parent, DayUIElement).[Date])

                                                mIndicator.Rect = New Rectangle(El.Rect.X + El.Rect.Width - 10, El.Rect.Y + 2, 10, 10)

                                                El.ChildElements.Add(mIndicator)

                                End If

                                'Office2007MoreActivityIndicatorUIElement El = parent as Office2007MoreActivityIndicatorUIElement;

                                'if (El != null)

                                '{

                                '    var aa = El.GetAncestor(typeof(WeekUIElement)).GetDescendant(typeof(DayNumberUIElement), El.Date);

                                '    El.Rect = new Rectangle(aa.Rect.X + aa.Rect.Width - El.Rect.Width, aa.Rect.Y + 2, El.Rect.Width, El.Rect.Height);

                                '}

                End Sub

                Public Function BeforeCreateChildElements(parent As UIElement) As Boolean

                                Return False

                End Function

End Class

Using this code you will be able to add MoreActivityIndicator to each Day. If you want to Show/Hide specific Indicator on a specific Day, you should extend the IF condition ( If El IsNot Nothing Then) per your requirements.
