Selecting Styles and Templates for VisualIntervals

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

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:

1.   Create an instance of the class:

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

2.   Define two group styles:

      with the key "PART_WorkHourStyle" for work hours;

      with the key "PART_FreeHourStyle" for free hours.

3.   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:

1.   Create an instance of the class:

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

2.   Define two group styles:

      with the key "PART_Day2003Style" for the Office 2003 look;

      with the key "PART_Day2007Style" for the Office 2007 look.

3.   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:

1.   Create an instance of the class:

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

2.   Define two DataTemplates:

      with the key "PART_FreeSlotTemplate" for free time;

      with the key "PART_WorkSlotTemplate" for working time.

3.   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 VisualIntervalTemplate property.
