Assembly: DevExpress.XtraScheduler.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Win.Scheduler

public class AppointmentLabelEdit :
    ImageComboBoxEdit

<ComVisible(False)>
Public Class AppointmentLabelEdit
    Inherits ImageComboBoxEdit

Remarks

The AppointmentLabelEdit represents a combo box editor with images displayed along with text captions. To link it to a SchedulerStorage, you should set its Storage property to that component. When dropped onto a form that contains a Scheduler control, it links itself to a scheduler storage automatically.

The combo box loads information about AppointmentLabel objects and displays the properties of each object as follows:

UserInterfaceObject.DisplayName as a text caption.
AppointmentLabel.Color as a background color of an image represented by a rectangular region.

The control tracks the AppointmentLabelCollection changes. You may update the information manually by calling the AppointmentLabelEdit.RefreshData method.

The common appearance of the AppointmentLabelEdit is shown in the picture below.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to create a custom form to change the appointment’s label, status and resource. It is intended to illustrate XtraScheduler controls used for editing a non-recurring appointment. For information on how to substitute the standard form with a custom one, please refer to the Getting Started tutorial.

The example below declares a form constructor with parameters - a scheduler control and a current appointment. For this example to work correctly, the form should contain the following auxiliary controls:

edtLabel (of the AppointmentLabelEdit class);
edtResources (of the AppointmentResourceEdit);
edtStatus (of theAppointmentStatusEdit);

You should also add the btnOk button, which is used to confirm the chosen settings and to close the form.
