WPF Appointment Editor

Scheduler provides users with many options for creating and editing appointments. Users can assign different categories, resources, and contacts to help organize appointments and add colorful labels, as well as mark appointments as high/low in importance, as private, or as an all-day event. Appointments can occur once or recur over a set amount of time, and reminders can be set so no appointment is missed. The appointment text can display HTML-encoded content.

Drag and Drop Support

Scheduler supports several different drag-and-drop scenarios. Users can move appointments around on the WPF schedule control surface, as well as between schedule and calendar controls to change dates. Drag appointment edges to edit appointment duration and span multiple days.

Calendar Resource Grouping

WPF Scheduler Multi-User Grouping

Group appointments by contacts, categories, or resources to create a multi-user calendar layout. Appointments can be reassigned by dragging them or editing through the dialog boxes. Customize the tabs to display images. The grouping feature is supported in all WPF scheduler views, not just day view.

Custom Scheduler Styles and Themes

WPF Scheduler Themes

Choose a quick, built-in Microsoft Office theme, or customize your own look and feel for your scheduler. Because of our ClearStyle technology, you can very easily customize the style and appearance by setting brush properties in Visual Studio. The WPF Scheduler and Calendar controls support several built-in themes, as well as 20+ professional themes included with ComponentOne WPF Edition.

Additional Features

Quick In-Line Editing

Appointment subjects can be quickly modified on the scheduler surface without having to open the Appointment dialog. This in-line editing improves the runtime usability.

Appointment Reminders

Users can choose to have a Reminder dialog box alert them at a specified time before the appointment occurs. Reminders can be dismissed or snoozed to appear again later.

Dialog Customization

Easily customize any dialog to match your requirements. We provide the complete source for the built-in dialogs so they can be modified.

Printing

Enable printing of the WPF Scheduler using ComponentOne PrintDocument. A complete sample is provided. Configure to print daily, weekly, monthly, or appointment details.

Save or load data in different formats, including XML, iCal (.ics), and binary. End-users can import and export data through the menu, or by dragging and dropping files onto the control.

Localization

Scheduler makes it very easy to localize your applications. At design time, you can simply type in translations for each string, and the localized resource files will be created for you.
