The Month View displays the least amount of detail. It targets long-term planning and overview scenarios. Days are displayed horizontally in week rows, weeks are arranged vertically.

The MonthView class implements the Month View. Use the SchedulerControl.MonthView property to access this view.

Activate Moth View

Set the SchedulerControl.ActiveViewType property to SchedulerViewType.Month to active the Month View.

The following code snippet creates a SchedulerControl and activates the Month View:

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using DevExpress.XtraScheduler;
namespace DXSchedulerApp {
    public partial class Form1 : DevExpress.XtraEditors.XtraForm {
        SchedulerControl schedulerControl;
        public Form1() {
            InitializeComponent();
            schedulerControl = new SchedulerControl() {
                Dock = DockStyle.Fill,
                Start = DateTime.Now,
                ActiveViewType = SchedulerViewType.Month,
                DataStorage = schedulerDataStorage1
            };
            this.Controls.Add(schedulerControl);
        }
    }
}
