Right now, I have attached properties added to the month calendar control and based on the dates that are selected, i am switching the different schedule views and clearing the visible days and updating it with the selected date range.
Please Suggest.
Thanks in advance,
Hariharan
This is actually something we just added in 11.1. We added 2 new schedule controls - xamDateNavigator and xamOutlookCalendarView.
xamDateNavigator is a month calendar similar to the xamMonthCalendar that integrates with the schedule datamanager and has the ability to display bold for dates with activity of the CurrentUser of the xamScheduleDataManager and also can show the activity for a given date in the tooltip for that day.
xamOutlookCalendarView is a composite control that contains day/month/schedule view and switches between the views based on interaction with the control similar to that of Outlook - e.g. clicking on a week header in the month view shifts to week view for that week, clicking a day header in month/day/week view shifts to day view for that day, keyboard shortcuts can switch between modes, and the modes can automatically switch between day/schedule view based on the number of calendars visible (just as they do in outlook). In addition the control exposes a property named DateNavigator that is used to synchronize selection between a month calendar control and the outlook calendar view similar to that of outlook. You can set this property to an instance of a xamDateNavigator (i.e. you would set this property to a Binding whose ElementName is the xamDateNavigator you have within your ui).
Thanks Much! That sure makes it a lot cleaner.
My Bad. Let me give you more details. So I wrapped the XamOutlookCalendarView inot my own user control and the UC has three dependency proeprties which are of type IEnumerable for Resources,ResourceCalendars and Appointments. These are inturn bound to ListScheduleDataConnector.
Here is the pseudo code::
UC.xaml.cs:
DP - IEnumerable Resources
DP - IEnumerable ResourceCalendars
DP - IEnumerable Appointments
UC.xaml:
<Schedules:ListScheduleDataConnector HorizontalAlignment="Left" Name="listScheduleDataConnector1" VerticalAlignment="Top" ResourceItemsSource="{Binding ResourceMembers, Mode=TwoWay}" ResourceCalendarItemsSource="{Binding ResourceCalendars, Mode=TwoWay}" AppointmentItemsSource="{Binding Appointments, Mode=TwoWay}">
Now my main view has my custom UC in it and binds values for all three lists. But I do not see any calendars in the UI and the messges from my previous post are shown in the output window.
<Controls:OSScheduler DateNavigator="{Binding ElementName=dateNavigator}" ResourceMembers="{Binding WorkQueueFilterList}" Grid.Column="1" ResourceCalendars="{Binding ResourceCalendars}"/

Also, I need to display multiple resources , which means multiple calendars. Do i need to set CurrentUser and CalendarGroupCollections? Shouldn't it internally populate the calendar groups based on the resource calendars?In my case, since its a wrapped user control, there is no direct way for me to set those.
Thank You,

The CurrentUser(Id) is used to determine the primary user and affects things like the reminders. Also when no CalendarGroups are provided it is the PrimaryCalendar of the CurrentUser that is displayed. If you want to display multiple calendars then you need to put CalendarGroup instances in the CalendarGroups of the xamScheduleDataManager or the CalendarGroupsOverride of the view control. The various requirements for the schedule controls are described here.

The control does not assume that all the calendars should be displayed. If you want to make that assumption then perhaps you can handle the 1st time the Loaded event is raised (it can be raised multiple times by the wpf framework) and then enumerate your resource calendars and create 1 or more calendar groups to contain them. Calendar groups are discussed in the help here.
Ok, I added code to internally populate calendar groups.
All my custom objects have the same property names as the Infragistics entities for Resources,ResourceCalendars and Appointments. And in the ListScheduleDataConnector I am setting the "UseDefaultMapping" to TRUE. This picks all required properties, however, to display the calendar, it is not picking the BaseColor Property from my entity, event though I have it populated it with my custom color.
ThankYou,
Thanks.That worked.

Yes resources may be removed and the ui should be updated. It could be the same type of timing issue you had with adding the resources. If you still have an issue then please post an updated sample that demonstrates the issue with removing the resources.

I am also having an issue while removing a resource from the list at runtime. I assume that the scheduler supports adding and removing resources and resource calendars at runtime ?
Please review the sample project attached in my previous post and suggest a response.
Have you had a chance to look at my attached sample project?
