Grouping

You can easily start grouping by using the C1Scheduler.GroupBy property, which determines the type of grouping to display. The C1Scheduler control supports grouping by contacts, categories, resources, and by the Appointment.Owner property value.

String	Grouping
Empty string	No grouping.
Category	Grouping is determined by the Appointment.Categories property value.
Contact	Grouping is determined by the Appointment.Links property value.
Owner	Grouping is determined by the Appointment.Owner property value.
Resource	Grouping is determined by the Appointment.Resources property value.

Suppose you have a schedule linked to a calendar in your project. Your XAML might look similar to the following:

XAML (WPF)	Copy Code
<Window x:Class="Grouping.MainWindow" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Title="MainWindow" Height="574" Width="757" xmlns:c1="http://schemas.componentone.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:c1sched="http://schemas.componentone.com/wpf/Schedule" Loaded="Window_Loaded"> <Grid Height="371" Width="689"> <c1:C1Calendar x:Name="cal1" CalendarHelper="{Binding CalendarHelper, ElementName=sched1, Mode=OneWay}" SelectedDates="{Binding VisibleDates, ElementName=sched1, Mode=OneWay}" BoldedDates="{Binding BoldedDates, ElementName=sched1, Mode=OneWay}" MaxSelectionCount="42" Margin="-9,7,459,188" /> <c1:C1Scheduler x:Name="sched1" Margin="195,0,12,62"/> </Grid> </Window>

    </Grid>
</UserControl>

Double-click the MainWindow and add the following code to the Window_Loaded event:

Visual Basic	Copy Code
Private Sub Window_Loaded(sender As Object, e As RoutedEventArgs) sched1.GroupBy = "Category" End Sub

C#	Copy Code
private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { sched1.GroupBy = "Category"; }

When you run the project, the schedule will be grouped by categories. This is a simplified example. For a full sample, see the Grouping sample that is installed with the product.
