Asked On August 17, 2019 10:13 PM UTC

Hello,

how can I change the appearance/content and size of the navigation buttons (Prev/Next) in the header of the SfSchedule?
E. g. if I want other icons as navigation buttons.


Thanks for help.

Hi Perter-muller,  
 
Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support.   
 
We have checked your query “how can I change the appearance/content and size of the navigation buttons (Prev/Next) in the header of the SfSchedule?”. Currently we don’t have direct support to customize the content of the navigation button used in the SfSchedule. But we have prepared workaround to achieve your requirement by editing the header style of the SfSchedule. In attached sample, we have changed navigation button existing icons with new icons (using path).  We can change the content and size using properties of button used in SfSchedule. Please find the screenshot, code snippet and sample for the same. 
 
Code snippet: 
    <Window.Resources> 
        <Style x:Key="prevButton" TargetType="Button">

Hi,

thanks for your fast reply. I tried to add your suggested code and it works to change the content/size of the navigation buttons. But after that im unable to navigate and it crashes after a click on the button with this exception and stacktrace:

Hi Perter-muller, 
 
Thanks for your update. 
 
We have tried to reproduce the reported System.InvalidCastException at our end. But we are unable to reproduce it. May be our issue reproducing scenario or code’s may differ from yours. So, please provide code snippet or modify the application which we provided below to test it from our side. If possible please provide the issue reproducible application, that would help us to resolve your issue as earlier. Please find the video and sample for the same.

Hi Kanniyappan,

here is a sample application - hopefully the issue is now reproducable.

If you comment out the code you provided to overwrite the style for the navigationbuttons the app works fine. But if the Styles are set navigation is not possible.

Thanks for your help!

Regards,
perter-muller

Hi perter-muller, 
 
We are able to reproduce the reported issue “Invalid exception occurred when click the SfSchedule navigation button” at our end. We have resolved reported issue by adding the border in style templates instead using ViewBox in the sample. Please find the modified sample, code snippet and video for the same.
