Type	Description

Remarks

You can specify a collection of format strings with different length. A suitable format string will be automatically selected depending on the timeline header width.

The following code snippet illustrates how to provide format strings for different header lengths in the WPF resource dictionary:

Xaml

<Window.Resources>
    <x:Array
        xmlns:sys="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib"
        x:Key="TimelineWeekFormats"
        Type="{x:Type sys:String}">
        <sys:String>{0:ddd, dd-MM, yyyy} - {1:ddd, dd-MM, yyyy}</sys:String>
        <sys:String>{0:dd-MMM-yy} -> {1:dd-MMM-yy}</sys:String>
        <sys:String>{0:dd} - {1:dd}</sys:String>
    </x:Array>
</Window.Resources>
<!--...-->
  <dxsch:TimeScaleWeek
      DisplayFormats="{StaticResource TimelineWeekFormats}" />

The resulting TimelineView looks as follows:
