AppointmentControl Class

A base class for controls that visualize an appointment in a Scheduler view.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Scheduling.Visual

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

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Scheduling

Declaration

C#

public abstract class AppointmentControl :
    AppointmentControlBase,
    IResizableAppointment

VB.NET

Public MustInherit Class AppointmentControl
    Inherits AppointmentControlBase
    Implements IResizableAppointment

Remarks

An AppointmentControl is a content container for appointment information and appointment display options. Appointment information is contained in the AppointmentViewModel object, which is a data context for the AppointmentControl template.

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
Work Week View	DayViewBase.AppointmentContentTemplate, DayViewBase.AppointmentContentTemplateSelector
Week View	DayViewBase.AppointmentContentTemplate, DayViewBase.AppointmentContentTemplateSelector
Month View	MonthView.AppointmentContentTemplate, MonthView.AppointmentContentTemplateSelector
Timeline View	TimelineView.AppointmentContentTemplate, TimelineView.AppointmentContentTemplateSelector

Tip

To create a template, you can start with the AppointmentContentPanel object, which is a built-in template designed to display appointment information similar to Outlook.

You can use a custom style to specify borders, background, padding and set the following appointment display options:

• AppointmentControlBase.ShowDescription
• AppointmentControlBase.ShowInterval
• AppointmentControlBase.ShowLocation
• AppointmentControlBase.ShowRecurrenceImage
• AppointmentControlBase.ShowReminderImage
• AppointmentControlBase.ShowStatus
