Custom Month Cell: Always some space at the bottom of the cell

[bkind]

Hi,

since AppointmentDisplayMode will not be applied on Android platform I have a custom month cell. It displays a label per appointment, arranged e. g. within a StackLayout or Grid. I use ViewLayoutOptions.Overlay because I want to keep the style given by the schedule, I just want the labels to be shown, not the appointment indicators.

The problem is that there is always some space between the labels and the bottom of the cell, so that the indicators are visible. When I use a frame as custom view it fills the whole cell. So does a grid, a stacklayout or whatever. But every control within this "top level" view does not "reach" the bottom of the cell. Just as if there were a bottom padding which cannot be undone or overwritten. I have included a sample project as well as a screenshot showing 5 month cells, the 4th and the 5th having a boxview within a frame as custom month cell. One can see the gap between the bottom of the boxview and the bottom of the cell. The 5th cell also shows that the frame fills the cell (as it does in the 4th cell, but with transparent background color).

I cannot find a way to have the labels (or any other "inner" control of a custom cell view) fill the cell down to the bottom. Is there?

Btw: Using XF 3.4 and Sf 16.4.0.52

Kind regards

Hi,

I tested the patch with the sample solution I uploaded and I can say that the patch works. Thank you very much.

The only thing I'm wondering: If I use a frame as customcellview - why shows setting a top margin on the frame no effect at all? The frame in the picture (Thu, violet background, vertical and horizontal options: fill, padding: 0, margin: 10) just ignores any margin I set.

It's not critical however. But if you want the date numbers remain visible you have to use an extra frame with padding as a transparent container for the real content, which would not be neccessary if setting margin did work.

This is just for information.

Thanks again for the patch.

Kind regards

Hi BKind, 

 

Thank you for the update. 

 

We have analyzed your query "Margin for CustomCellView has no effect" based on your sample. In your sample, you are trying to set margin for frame but there is no parent for frame, your requirement can be achieved by using frame inside a parent view (Grid/Stack). 

 

We have modified your sample,

We hope that this helps. Kindly revert us if you have any concern.
