    Posted: 06 January 2007 at 4:50pm
I have several resources in my calendar.
 
The banner/header (not sure if this is the 'official' name) at the top of the day's schedule only reads the day of the week and not day/date etc.
 
How can I change this?

Hi,

It depends on the width of the window. If there is enough space to display long day header, it displays it. Otherwise, it tries to work with Middle day header format, then Short, and the Shortest at last.

In any case you can set custom format strings for day header date formats.
 
See CalendarDayView properties
    DayHeaderFormatLong
    DayHeaderFormatMiddle
    DayHeaderFormatShort
    DayHeaderFormatShortest 
 
As I understand you use office 2003 theme ?
 

Example:

    CalendarControl.DayView.DayHeaderFormatLong = "'(1)' ddd, dd MMMM yyyy"
    CalendarControl.DayView.DayHeaderFormatMiddle = "'(2)' ddd, dd MMM yy"
    CalendarControl.DayView.DayHeaderFormatShort = "'(3)' dd MMM "
    CalendarControl.DayView.DayHeaderFormatShortest = "'(4)' d.MM"
    CalendarControl.Populate

I am acutally using 2007 theme and I can't seem to get above code to work.
 
I am viewing as a dayView (one single day) so I don't think space is an issue. I have a screen shot available. ....

Ok, you can try another way:
 
See GetItemText notification.
 
Set :
    CalendarControl.AskItemTextFlags = xtpCalendarItemText_DayViewDayHeader
 
See enum XTPCalendarGetItemText

Take a look at our VB sample, frmMain: CalendarControl_GetItemText event handler.
 
Also uncomment string
    CalendarControl.AskItemTextFlags = -1
in Form_Load method.
 
Then you'll see.

Straight from your sample:
 
Private Sub CalendarControl_GetItemText(ByVal Params As XtremeCalendarControl.CalendarGetItemTextParams)
    If Params.Item = xtpCalendarItemText_EventSubject Then
        Params.Text = "*Custom subject* " & Params.Text
   
    ElseIf Params.Item = xtpCalendarItemText_EventLocation Then
        Params.Text = "ScheduleID = " & Params.ViewEvent.Event.ScheduleID
       
    ElseIf Params.Item = xtpCalendarItemText_EventBody Then
        Params.Text = "custom BODY text."
       
    ElseIf Params.Item = xtpCalendarItemText_DayViewDayHeader Or _
           Params.Item = xtpCalendarItemText_WeekViewDayHeader Or _
           Params.Item = xtpCalendarItemText_MonthViewDayHeader _
        Then
        Params.Text = "Date:" & Params.ViewDay.Date
   
    ElseIf Params.Item = xtpCalendarItemText_DayViewDayHeaderLeft Or _
            Params.Item = xtpCalendarItemText_WeekViewDayHeaderLeft Or _
            Params.Item = xtpCalendarItemText_MonthViewDayHeaderLeft _
        Then
        'Params.Text = Day(Params.ViewDay.Date)
        Params.Text = Day(Params.ViewDay.Date)
   
    ElseIf Params.Item = xtpCalendarItemText_DayViewDayHeaderCenter Or _
           Params.Item = xtpCalendarItemText_WeekViewDayHeaderCenter Or _
           Params.Item = xtpCalendarItemText_MonthViewDayHeaderCenter _
        Then
        Params.Text = WeekdayName(Weekday(Params.ViewDay.Date), , vbSunday)
   
    ElseIf Params.Item = xtpCalendarItemText_DayViewDayHeaderRight Or _
           Params.Item = xtpCalendarItemText_WeekViewDayHeaderRight Or _
           Params.Item = xtpCalendarItemText_MonthViewDayHeaderRight _
        Then
        Params.Text = Year(Params.ViewDay.Date)
       
    ElseIf Params.Item = xtpCalendarItemText_MonthViewWeekDayHeader Then
        Params.Text = Params.Text & " - " & Params.Weekday
       
    ElseIf Params.Item = xtpCalendarItemText_EventToolTipText Then
        Params.Text = "(" & Params.ViewEvent.Event.Location & ") " & _
                      Params.ViewEvent.Event.Subject & _
                      " [" & Params.ViewEvent.Event.Id & "]"
   
       
    End If
   
End Sub

So, it works as designed

If you want to see another header, customize this code as you wish.

I actually didn't alter that code at all, it came straight 'out of the box'
 
 
Can you tell me then, does this feature work on the 2007 theme?
 
If so, then I am missing something and don't need to create custom code...
 
the header I am talking about is here: at the top of the calendarcontrol:

Yes, thIs feature works fine for Office 2007 theme.
 
Will try to help you...
 
You have to understand the code in GetItemText handler. Please read it once more and remove lines which you don't need.
 
Look at these lines:

    ElseIf Params.Item = xtpCalendarItemText_DayViewDayHeaderCenter Or _
           Params.Item = xtpCalendarItemText_WeekViewDayHeaderCenter Or _
           Params.Item = xtpCalendarItemText_MonthViewDayHeaderCenter _
        Then
        Params.Text = WeekdayName(Weekday(Params.ViewDay.Date), , vbSunday)

 
You receive Week day name because WeekdayName() returns it

Params.Text = WeekdayName(Weekday(Params.ViewDay.Date), , vbSunday)


Just set

Params.Text = "Bla-Bla-Bla..."

 
Well, instead this of course write what you need
 
ps:
Use following flags for Office 2007 theme:
 
    xtpCalendarItemText_DayViewDayHeaderLeft
    xtpCalendarItemText_DayViewDayHeaderCenter
    xtpCalendarItemText_DayViewDayHeaderRight
       
When your code start working, set only flags which are actually used to AskItemTextFlags for optimization (instead of -1, which is useful for debug).
 
Example:
 

    CalendarControl.AskItemTextFlags.SetFlag xtpCalendarItemText_DayViewDayHeaderLeft
       CalendarControl.AskItemTextFlags.SetFlag xtpCalendarItemText_DayViewDayHeaderCenter

For Office2007 theme look at the similar event handler BeforeDrawThemeObject and the message xtpCalendarBeforeDraw_DayViewDay.

Take a look at our regular sample for more details.

would it be a line like this:
 
        pTheme2007.DayView.Day.Header.TextCenter.Normal.Font.Bold = True
        pTheme2007.DayView.Day.Header.TextCenter.Normal.Font.SIZE = 12

I am referencing the screen shot I pasted above.
 
So those lines of code do not seem to change the font/font size of the day of the week (Sunday which is currently showing) but rather is changing the size/font of the schedule headers (i.e. ARI, MEH, etc) that are at the bottom of that screen shot fragment......

For this caption you should reference the following piece of code in the sample:

    ElseIf eObjType = xtpCalendarBeforeDraw_DayViewDay Then
        pTheme2007.DayView.Day.Header.BaseColor = 20000 + 100 * Weekday(Params.Date)
        pTheme2007.DayView.Day.Header.TodayBaseColor = RGB(0, 0, 0)

that's not helpful at all, that is just the code from your sample and doesn't change font or font size, just the color of the header...

please re-read my post!!!

Note that it's different for Normal days, Selected days, etc, and it should be set separately. The following piece of code works just fine:

pTheme2007.DayView.Day.Header.TextCenter.Normal.Font.Bold = True
pTheme2007.DayView.Day.Header.TextCenter.Normal.Font.SIZE = 12
       
pTheme2007.DayView.Day.Header.TextCenter.Selected.Font.Bold = True
pTheme2007.DayView.Day.Header.TextCenter.Selected.Font.SIZE = 12
       
pTheme2007.DayView.Day.Header.TextCenter.Today.Font.Bold = True
pTheme2007.DayView.Day.Header.TextCenter.Today.Font.SIZE = 12
       
pTheme2007.DayView.Day.Header.TextCenter.TodaySelected.Font.Bold = True
pTheme2007.DayView.Day.Header.TextCenter.TodaySelected.Font.SIZE = 12


Also to adjust header height somewhere after you set theme Office 2007 change height like

objThemeOfice2007.DayView.Day.Header.HeightFormula.Constant = objThemeOfice2007.DayView.Day.Header.HeightFormula.Constant + 7

do not set this in BeforeDrawThemeObject because this setting applyed on Populate call.

Also if you do not need dynamically chahge your font by some condition use static customization, like for height:

objThemeOfice2007.DayView.Day.Header.TextCenter.Normal.Font.SIZE = 12
......
objThemeOfice2007.RefreshMetrics



Also to understand theme customization look our VB Sample,
    menu Calendar ->
        Customize office 2007 Theme
