Hi,

I'm sure I'm missing something very simple, but, is there a setting somewhere to set a maximum number of displayed days in a Resource view?

OR, an alternative, is it possible to rotate items in a Horizontal TimeLine view?

Thanks,
Darko

Thanks, but it seems that the number of initially visible days is dependent on the calendar control size (which varies depending on the form size, in my case), which means I cannot know how many days are actually visible. Is that correct?

Late reply, so hope this helps.

A rough solution is to scale the timeline in accordance with the resize ratio.

First we need to record the "design-time" settings at run time, so they can be used to calculate resize ratios.

[code]
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
private int _originalCalWidth;
private int _originalCalTimeLineScale;
private int _originalCalRowHeaderWidth;

public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
_originalCalWidth = calendar.Size.Width;
_originalCalTimeLineScale = calendar.ResourceViewSettings.TimelineScale;
_originalCalRowHeaderWidth = calendar.ResourceViewSettings.RowHeaderSize;

....

}
[/code]

Then we handle the form's (or control's, I guess?) resize event:

[code] private void Form1_ResizeEnd(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
double ratio = ((float)(calendar.Size.Width - _originalCalRowHeaderWidth) / (_originalCalWidth - _originalCalRowHeaderWidth));
calendar.ResourceViewSettings.TimelineScale = (int)(ratio * _originalCalTimeLineScale);
}
[/code]

It's not especially pretty, but worked well enough for what I needed. Hope it helps someone!
