Scheduler Elements That Support Templates

An AppointmentControl is a content container for appointment information and appointment display options. The AppointmentViewModel object contains appointment information and represents a data context for the AppointmentControl template.

The EditTemplate property specifies the inplace editor data template. The ImageBoxTemplate property specifies the data template visualized in the appointment’s bottom right corner where recurrence and reminder icons are located.

The SchedulerControl uses different AppointmentControl descendants to visualize appointments based on the following settings:

• The specified view.
• Whether a user drags the appointment.
• Whether the appointment is an all-day appointment.

The class diagram of the visual appointment controls is shown below.

Each Scheduler view contains AppointmentContentTemplate and AppointmentContentTemplateSelector properties that allow you to specify a template used to visualize appointment content:

View	Appointment Template
Day View	DayViewBase.AppointmentContentTemplate, DayViewBase.AppointmentContentTemplateSelector, AllDayAppointmentContentTemplate, AllDayAppointmentContentTemplateSelector
Work Week View	DayViewBase.AppointmentContentTemplate, DayViewBase.AppointmentContentTemplateSelector, AllDayAppointmentContentTemplate, AllDayAppointmentContentTemplateSelector
Week View	DayViewBase.AppointmentContentTemplate, DayViewBase.AppointmentContentTemplateSelector, AllDayAppointmentContentTemplate, AllDayAppointmentContentTemplateSelector
Month View	MonthView.AppointmentContentTemplate, MonthView.AppointmentContentTemplateSelector, AppointmentContentTemplate, AppointmentContentTemplateSelector
Timeline View	TimelineView.AppointmentContentTemplate, TimelineView.AppointmentContentTemplateSelector
Agenda View	AgendaView.AppointmentContentTemplate, AgendaView.AppointmentContentTemplateSelector
