Idea needed - what control to use to display lots of events?

Asked by Camilla

Hello -

I've implemented this https://aspnet.daypilot.org/demo/Month/
and it works great.

Some users will have up to 40 events in one day. It's not readable if I display them all in a cell in the Month calendar.

I was thinking about giving the users a "Day View" so users can get a closer view of their events. Then came across Gnatt.

Any suggestions on what control is best to display a lot of events in one cell?

The monthly calendar includes a special "cell stacking mode" that lets you set a fixed day cell height and stack all events inside. A vertical scrollbar will be added if necessary:

https://doc.daypilot.org/month/cell-stacking-mode/

In this mode, the events will only be displayed in the first day (no multi-day events are allowed).

Let me know if it's not what you are looking for.

Thanks. I came across stacking but users don't like scroll bar.

I'll probably use https://aspnet.daypilot.org/demo/Calendar/DaysResourcesView.aspx
