Is it possible to show 'custom' object data (i.e. not appointments) in month view?

Asked by Chris Lewis

We have a requirement to show a month view with each day cell displaying 'activity' information - so it's not appointment data at all. In addition we need to be able to show a custom popup form when a day cell is clicked - not the predefined appointment form.

An activity needs to be represented by a specific (custom) icon, and alongside the activity icon we need to show a total elapsed time for that activity (in hh:mm format). There will be multiple activities for each day.

We also need to display some other info/icons in each day cell.

Is this sort of thing possible with this control - is it even appropriate, or do I need to look elsewhere?

Thanks for any help or advice on this.

You might be interested in this demo page:

www.daypilot.org/demo/Month/CellStacking.aspx

This is a special mode (EventStackingMode="Cell") where the "event" can actually be any record bound to a specific day. In addition, you can specify custom database fields that will be used for ordering the events inside a day cell.

Other comments:

  • Custom action is possible (you can show an external popup window, a modal popup using ModalPopupExtender, etc.). The click will trigger PostBack/CallBack/custom JavaScript depending on the EventClickHandling property setting.
  • Custom icons: You can use BeforeEventRender event handler to define custom HTML using e.InnerHTML property. That can include images/icons, custom text and formatting (including the duration).
  • Custom text in the day cell: There is no direct way to write into the cell body (it's occupied by the event/activity boxes anyway). You can however modify the header using BeforeCellRender event handler. By modifying the source code, you should be able to write into the cell body as well.
