Remarks

When the StartTimeVisibility is set to AppointmentTimeVisibility.Auto, the appointment’s start time is not shown in the following scenarios:

  • if the appointment is of the Appointment.AllDay type;
  • if the appointment lines up with the time cell border in the Day View, Work Week View or Full Week View.

    In the Day-like views the appointment duration is represented by its height. Thus if the appointment overlaps the time cell border, the start time is not displayed. For example, if the DayView.TimeScale is 30 min, then the start time values of 2:00 and 7:30 will not be displayed, while 2:01 and 7:40 - will be.

The start time visibility may be affected by the AppointmentDisplayOptions.SnapToCells property. Depending on its value, the appointment will appear the following way.
