Selecting Styles and Templates for VisualIntervals

In order to provide a fast and easy way for selecting appropriate styles and templates for C1Scheduler.VisualIntervals, the C1Scheduler control provides five classes: TimeSlotGroupStyleSelector, DayGroupStyleSelector, TimeSlotTemplateSelector, DayIntervalStyleSelector and TimeSlotStyleSelector.

The TimeSlotGroupStyleSelector class provides a way to apply time slot group styles for working and free hours in Day View and Working Week View modes. To use it:

Create an instance of the class:

<local:TimeSlotGroupStyleSelector x:Key="TimeSlotGroupStyleSelector"/>

Define two group styles in the TimeSlotGroupStyleSelector resources:
- with the key "PART_WorkHourStyle" for work hours;
- with the key "PART_FreeHourStyle" for free hours.

Specify a style selector in the group definition:

<GroupStyle ContainerStyleSelector="{StaticResource TimeSlotGroupStyleSelector}">

The DayGroupStylesSelector class provides a way to apply day group styles for an Office 2003/2007 look in Day View and Working Week View modes. To use it:

Create an instance of the class:

<local:DayGroupStyleSelector x:Key="DayGroupStyleSelector"/>

Define two group styles in the DayGroupStylesSelector resources:
- with the key "PART_Day2003Style" for the Office 2003 look;
- with the key "PART_Day2007Style" for the Office 2007 look.

Specify a style selector in the group definition:

<GroupStyle ContainerStyleSelector="{StaticResource DayGroupStyleSelector}">

The TimeSlotTemplateSelector class provides a way to choose a DataTemplate for the VisualInterval object representing the single time slot in Day View and Working Week View modes. To use it:

Create an instance of the class:

<local:TimeSlotTemplateSelector x:Key="TimeSlotTemplateSelector"/>

Define two DataTemplates in the TimeSlotTemplateSelector resources:
- with the key "PART_FreeSlotTemplate" for free time;
- with the key "PART_WorkSlotTemplate" for working time.
Specify an ItemTemplateSelector for the C1SchedulerPresenter object:
```
<local:C1SchedulerPresenter ItemTemplateSelector="{StaticResource TimeSlotTemplateSelector}" />
```
Note that if you use this method for choosing a VisualInterval DataTemplate, you shouldn't set the C1Scheduler.VisualIntervalTemplate property.

The DayIntervalStyleSelector class provides a way to apply day group styles for ordinal/current days. To use it:

Create an instance of the class:

<local:DayIntervalStyleSelector x:Key=”DayIntervalStyleSelector"/>

Define two group styles in the DayIntervalStyleSelector resources:
- with the key "C1Scheduler_Day_Style" for ordinal days;
- with the key "C1Scheduler_Today_Style" the current date.

Specify a style selector in the group definition:

<GroupStyle ContainerStyleSelector="{StaticResource DayIntervalStyleSelector}">

The TimeSlotStyleSelector class provides a way to apply time slot styles for working and free hours in Day View and Working Week View modes. To use it:

Create an instance of the class:
    <local:TimeSlotStyleSelector x:Key="TimeSlotStyleSelector"/>

Define two group styles in the TimeSlotStyleSelector resources:
- with the key "C1Scheduler_WorkSlot_Style" for work hours;
- with the key "C1Scheduler_FreeSlot_Style" for free hours.

Specify an ItemContainerStyleSelector for the C1SchedulerPresenter object:

<local:C1SchedulerPresenter ItemContainerStyleSelector="{StaticResource TimeSlotTemplateSelector}" />
