Remarks

The custom draw events occur before any scheduler element is painted. The CustomDrawObjectEventArgs class introduces several properties to represent all objects necessary to implement the custom drawing of a scheduler element.

If CustomDrawObjectEventArgs.Handled is set to true, the default painting is not performed after the handler code execution. Use CustomDrawObjectEventArgs.DrawDefault method in the handler code to render the element using the default drawing mechanism.

Note

When handling custom draw events in Scheduler Reporting, use only CustomDrawObjectEventArgs.Cache or e.Cache.Paint methods. Do not use CustomDrawObjectEventArgs.Graphics methods.

Example

The following sample code handles the SchedulerControl.CustomDrawAppointment event to manually paint appointments. The image below shows the result.
