Overlay to indicate days has past

Asked by Ramgaard

Is there a function to make an overlay or gray out past days (the right side of the black line).

I still want to be able to see old task in scheduler.

I have tried with:

cell.backColor
cell.cssClass

But I don't get the result i want, in weekends it does not look that good because i use cell.backColor for highlightig weekend, and can't force my shaded image to go on top of the cell without it goes in front of task.

But maybe there is a standard way to do this?

Thank you

One option is to add custom CSS (using cell.cssClass) and create styles for all different combinations of classes (they are all applied at the same level): .scheduler_default_cell, .scheduler_default_cellparent, .scheduler_default_cell_business + your custom class.

Another option is to insert an active area into the past cells. If you add a semi-transparent image as a background or add opacity style it will still display the original cell background.

This example adds stripes to past cells using an overlay active area:

dp.onBeforeCellRender = function(args) {
  if (args.cell.start < DayPilot.Date.today()) {
      args.cell.areas = [
          { left: 0, right: 0, top: 0, bottom: 0, style: "background-image: linear-gradient(135deg, #ddd 10%, transparent 10%, transparent 50%, #ddd 50%, #ddd 60%, transparent 60%, transparent); background-size: 20px 20px;" }
      ];
  }
};
