Namespace: DevExpress.XtraScheduler

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraScheduler.v21.2.dll

NuGet Packages: DevExpress.Win.Design, DevExpress.Win.Scheduler

Declaration

C#

public event CustomDrawObjectEventHandler CustomDrawDayOfWeekHeader

VB.NET

Public Event CustomDrawDayOfWeekHeader As CustomDrawObjectEventHandler

Event Data

The CustomDrawDayOfWeekHeader event's data class is CustomDrawObjectEventArgs. The following properties provide information specific to this event:

Property	Description
Bounds	Returns the bounding rectangle of the drawing area.
Cache	Gets an object which specifies the storage for the pens, fonts and brushes. Use it for custom painting in Scheduler Reports.
Graphics	Gets an object used for painting.
Handled	Gets or sets whether an event was handled. If it was handled, the default actions are not required.
ObjectInfo	Gets information on the painted element.

The event data class exposes the following methods:

Method	Description
DrawDefault()	Renders the element using the default drawing mechanism.

Remarks

The CustomDrawDayOfWeekHeader event is raised before the Day of Week header is painted. The event parameter’s CustomDrawObjectEventArgs.ObjectInfo property provides the information which is required to paint a header. The return value of this property should be typecast to the DayOfWeekHeader type.

Set the CustomDrawObjectEventArgs.Handled property to true to prohibit default header painting.

Example

This example paints day headers with green gradient color and draws header captions using white color.
