  Is it possible to “ownerdraw” the C1 Schedulers Appointment Layout?

  For example I’d need to make Borders around certain appointments …

  Hello Andreas,

  There is no direct way in C1Scheduler to OwnerDraw the appointments. However, using it in association with other controls, it seems to be possible. Therefore, could you please have a look at attached sample application and see if it helps you.

  Note: In order to run the application please make VS environment 32 bit

  I have to realize a “only viewable” calender (see my attached Screenshot). No need to add/edit/remind/dragdrop and all the features c1Scheduler is offering. As I understand your example concentrates on filtering scheduled dates (or do I overlook sth?)

  My need is mainly about showing work projects that last more than one day. This has to be illustrated in a “one view and realize it” - way … the data is edited somewhere else.

  The question 4 me is: is more work for me to “draw the calendar” all on my own or is with
  
  lesser work senseful to use the c1Scheduler control.

  Hope you understand me.

  Hi,
  
  As per investigation, in the current version it is not possible to customize appointment borders. The only thing one can do is to show some highlight in individual appointments using Html layout, as follows:```
  
  c1Schedule1.BeforeAppointmentFormat += C1Schedule1_BeforeAppointmentFormat;
  
  private void C1Schedule1_BeforeAppointmentFormat(object sender, BeforeAppointmentFormatEventArgs e)
  
  {
  
  // check appointment properties and alter appearance accordingly
  
  if (c1Schedule1.ViewType != ScheduleViewEnum.MonthView && !e.Appointment.AllDayEvent)
  
  {
  
  // add red line on the top
  
  e.Text = “

  ” + e.Text + “

  ”;
  
  }
  
  }

  Ok thank you. Hm … It could work that way if I could guarantee that the text “fills” the appointment. The filtering which appoint with which border (left/right/top/bottom/color) could be done within (own tags in) the text.

  Is this “normal” html interpreting in the .text property ? “<” “br” “>”
  
  for example doesnt seem to work.

  Sorry if this is a silly question.
