TimeScale Class

Serves as the base class for classes which are time scales in the Timeline view.

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraScheduler.v24.2.Core.dll

Declaration

C#
VB.NET

public abstract class TimeScale :
    UserInterfaceObject,
    INotifyPropertyChanged

Public MustInherit Class TimeScale
    Inherits UserInterfaceObject
    Implements INotifyPropertyChanged

The following members return TimeScale objects:

Library	Related API Members
WinForms Controls	ReportTimelineView.GetBaseTimeScale()
	TimelineScaleHeaders.GetBaseTimeScale()
	TimelineView.GetBaseTimeScale()
WPF Controls	TimelineView.GetBaseTimeScale()
ASP.NET Web Forms Controls	TimelineView.GetBaseTimeScale()

Remarks

This class provides the TimeScale.Enabled and TimeScale.Visible properties, which define the behavior of a particular time scale when calculating a Scheduler Control’s layout for the Timeline view.

You can inherit from this class to modify the Timeline View by implementing custom time scales. A custom scale allows you to specify arbitrary scale intervals, modify captions and hide certain time intervals.

For the comparitively simple task of creating a scale with a fixed interval, you can inherit from the TimeScaleFixedInterval class. For more complex tasks, use the TimeScale descendants and override key methods, as illustrated in the How to: Hide Certain Columns in the Timeline View document.
