Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Scheduling

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Scheduling.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Scheduling

Declaration

public DataTemplate TimeScaleTemplate { get; set; }

Property Value

Type Description
DataTemplate

A DataTemplate object that is the time scale template.

Remarks

Use the TimelineView.TimeScalesSource property to bind the Timeline View to a collection of objects that contain time scale settings.

The Timeline View uses time scale templates to generate time scales. To choose the required template based on the time scale type, use the template selector assigned to the TimelineView.TimeScaleTemplateSelector property. If all time scales can be described using a single template, you have no need to create a time scale template selector. Instead, assign this template to the view’s TimeScaleTemplate property.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to specify time scales for the Timeline View using the MVVM architectural pattern.

Use the TimelineView.TimeScalesSource property to bind the view to a collection of objects containing time scale settings described in the ViewModel. The Timeline View generates time scales based on templates. Create multiple templates, one template for each time scale type. In this example, there are three time scale templates: WorkDayScaleTemplate, WorkHourScaleTemplate, and FixedTimeScaleTemplate.

To choose the required template based on the time scale type, create a template selector and assign it to the TimelineView.TimeScaleTemplateSelector property.
