As you suggested I tried modifying the template. Particularly I modified the activityToolTipTemplate adding a TextBlock with a fake message, saved the modified template. I hoped to see my custom tooltip without success.

<DataTemplate x:Key="activityToolTipTemplate">

<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical" Margin="5,0,3,0">

<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">

<igSchedulePrim:ScheduleDateRangePresenter

ConvertDateTimeToLocal="{Binding Path=Activity.IsTimeZoneNeutral, Converter={StaticResource notConverter}}"

FontSize="{Binding Path=ActivityPresenter.FontSize}"

Start="{Binding Path=Activity.Start}"

End="{Binding Path=Activity.End}"

/>

<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Activity.Subject}"

Margin="5,0,0,0"

FontSize="{Binding Path=ActivityPresenter.FontSize}"

/>

<TextBlock Text="Hello from me"

FontSize="{Binding Path=ActivityPresenter.FontSize}"

/>

</StackPanel>

 

What did I do wrong? My goal is to be able to show something else beyond the Subject (i.e. description) or some graphic symbols before or after the Subject. Can you provide a sample?

Thank you so much.

To do this you would need to retemplate the AppointmentPresenter so you would take a copy of the template (e.g. from the generic.shared.xaml in the C:\Program Files\Infragistics\NetAdvantage 2011.1\WPF\DefaultStyles\Schedule directory) and all the required/supporting items (i.e. converters, styles, etc.) that are referenced by the template. Then you would modify it as needed. In this case that means changing the Stroke used by the BorderPath element within the ControlTemplate.

So you would change that such that you either access a property directly on the DataItem of the Activity or use the MetadataPropertyMapping. That primarily depends on whether you want to be able to get/set this from within a new activity since the dataitem won't exist for a new activity until it is committed. Assuming you just want to access a System.Windows.Media.Color property on the DataItem then that path would look something like:

    <Path x:Name="BorderPath"
    Fill="{TemplateBinding ComputedBackground}"
    StrokeThickness ="{TemplateBinding ComputedBorderStrokeThickness}"
    igPrim:XamlHelper.SnapsToDevicePixels="True">
     <Path.Stroke>
      <SolidColorBrush Color="{Binding DataItem.BorderColor}" />
     </Path.Stroke>
    </Path>

Or maybe if you know what you will default the bordercolor will be for your data items and you are allowing in place creation of activities you might provide a FallbackValue:

    <Path x:Name="BorderPath"
    Fill="{TemplateBinding ComputedBackground}"
    StrokeThickness ="{TemplateBinding ComputedBorderStrokeThickness}"
    igPrim:XamlHelper.SnapsToDevicePixels="True">
     <Path.Stroke>
      <SolidColorBrush>
       <SolidColorBrush.Color>
        <Binding Path="DataItem.BorderColor">
         <Binding.FallbackValue>
          <Color>Purple</Color>
         </Binding.FallbackValue>
        </Binding>
       </SolidColorBrush.Color>
      </SolidColorBrush>
     </Path.Stroke>
    </Path>

If you were using the MetadataPropertyMappings then the path would probably look something like:

    <Path x:Name="BorderPath"
    Fill="{TemplateBinding ComputedBackground}"
    StrokeThickness ="{TemplateBinding ComputedBorderStrokeThickness}"
    igPrim:XamlHelper.SnapsToDevicePixels="True">
     <Path.Stroke>
      <SolidColorBrush Color="{Binding Metadata[BorderColor]}" />
     </Path.Stroke>
    </Path>

Hi Roberti,

You're right, that's a bug that has been fixed recently. The fix would be available in our next Service Release planned for August 12, 2011. Sorry for the inconvinience.

Since I customized some templates included in the generic.shared.xaml file I added it to my project.

while I can build correctly the silverlight project, the wpf project won't build and would give me the following error:

The property 'ActivityCategoryColorPicker.SelectedColor' cannot be set because it does not have an accessible set accessor. Line 2934 Position 55.D:\Codice\OneClick360\OneClick.WPF\Assets\generic.shared.xaml 2934 55 OneClick.WPF

I thought the generic.shared.xaml file would be neutral to silverlight / wpf. Nonetheless I get the same error even if I pick the generic.shared.xaml file from the WPF folder:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Infragistics\NetAdvantage 2011.1\WPF\DefaultStyles\Schedule

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?
