Hi, I do have 1200 events in a week with up to about 100 in paralel. By default, the component renders only a 2 px line for each event in day view (of course month and week-view are expected to be unuseable) I tried MinColumnWidth with no success, to make the events bigger then 2 px. my suggestions: - add a timeline-mode like button with an event-handler, so one could implement different views like a table - maybe implement a table-view yourself - make the day-view scrollable in horizontal direction (and fix or explain me how to use MinColumnWidth :-) ) - fix up the time-line view (see below) or better - change it to be a pivot view of the day view with same look and feel like the day view (more like a gant view, where the event name is always on the left, and the time marked like in the timeline view, so you do not have to search where some event starts) the timeline view is unusable! - the view consumes 100% prozessor time - scrolling takes years... - the hint on an event is wrong (different event) - if you click on an event, the event-change for the event shown in the hint is fired, not the event listed - the font of the day/time looks ugly - (as mentioned above) you have to search for events by scrolling... -- Hinnack |

MinColumnWidth used in DayView with several resources and MutliColumn WeekView. If you have 4 resources and 1000 pixels width screen - set MinColumnWidth = 400 will show active horizontal scrollbar and you will have enough width for events.
Check CalendarDemo static which use click on event in timeline mode and show Editor with proper event - so hit test is proper.
Fonts and other features - up to developer choice - there is many settings to play with ------------- Mark Doubson, Ph.D. |

No - MinColumnWidth also working in one-resource mode - it just control horizontal scrollbar ------------- Mark Doubson, Ph.D. |

I check your snapshot - it show that you use old version - Timeline mode switch in you case - radio-button. Now it is checkbox
Please retest under 13.2 beta

Try to use 96 px mode. You can also increase DayView.MinColumnWidth if you need 120px mode ------------- Mark Doubson, Ph.D. |

what do you mean by 96 px mode? setting DayView.MinColumnWidth := 96; does not work, too -- Hinnack |

96 dpi (Standard mode in desktop settings) - while 120 dpi you use is Large Font mode ------------- Mark Doubson, Ph.D. |

I think I am now totally confused. I only have one calendar (resource) with 40 appointments at the same time. (lets say at 4pm). I am talking about the day-view (you screenshot above is about week view). Now all appointments get rendered next to each other with a width of 20px (or so). I do not get any scrollbar. I tried DayView.MinColumnWidth with different values with no success. I want every event to be at least 120px width and if the horizontal space for this is too small, I want a scrollbar. Is there any solution to this? maybe you can drop me a few lines pseudo code? -- Hinnack |

Example for your case: DayView.MinColumnWidth = 40 (appoitments in same time moment) * 50 (1 appoitment column width) = 2000 ------------- Mark Doubson, Ph.D. |

Ok. but if I try to use this on show of a day what do I need to call to update the current view? Repaint, Invalidate, etc do not work... I have the ViewChanged Event associated and set DayView.MinColumnWidth = 40 (appoitments in same time moment) * Calendar.DataProvider.RetrieveDayEvents(Calendar.DayView.Selection.Begin_).Count if I have more then 10 Events in dayview... if I have fewer I use: DayView.MinColumnWidth := -1 but the resize only happens, von selecting the next day... -- Hinnack |

You should use fixed MinColumnWidth - same for all days. Try to play with 2000 and see result please ------------- Mark Doubson, Ph.D. |
