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

public abstract class AppointmentControl :
    AppointmentControlBase,
    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.

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
