CalendarView.month... custom height for appointment

Question

I'd like to set a custom height for appointments when the SfCalendar is in CalendarView.month view mode.

I know that I can customize a lot of details with the appointmentBuilder, but it seems to never take the height of the Widget that gets built in the appointmentBuilder. (Is it forced to size by the "bounds"?)

Here's what I'm going for... For this appointment type, I want to show two lines of text

Hi Steven,As per the shared information, checked and your requirement is “To
change the height of the appointments in month view in the Flutter
Calendar”. As per the current implementation of the calendar there is no
property no change the height of appointments in the cells of the month view. But
using the monthCellBuilder property of the calendar, you can customize
the month cells with appointments. We have KB documentation for the same.
Please find the KB and UG from the following link.KB link:https://support.syncfusion.com/kb/article/10707/how-to-customize-the-month-cell-based-on-the-appointment-using-builder-in-the-flutter

Also, we have prepared the simple sample for the same. Please find

Hi, Indumathi!Thank you for your response.I was able to successfully show the Appointments by building them within the monthCellBuilder, but then I am not able to handle any "onTap" gestures when I tap/click on the Appointment.It seems like the SfCalendar.onTap method is intercepting that (even though I have not provided a handler in SfCalendar.onTap).Do you have any advice for that?Thank you!

Hi steven,For achieving Calendar UI looks
like the shared UI, we have handled the cell builder based on the appointments,
so you can’t handle the tap action. Otherwise, you can handle the tap action. We hope that this information helps you.
Please let us know if you need further assistance. We are always happy to
assist you.Regards,Indumathi R

Hey, Indumathi.I don't think I understand what you mean.But for now, in the CalendarView.month mode, I'm going to stick with creating appointments via the appointmentBuilder so I can retain control of handling onTap when an Appointment is tapped.I do recommend that the dev team work on a way to allow users to define a custom height for appointments in CalendarView.month if it's reasonable to do! (or allow onTap to pass thru the monthCellBuilder somehow)Thanks for all your help!  I'm really enjoying using the SfCalendar so far!

Hi steven,Currently, we are checking
possibilities for handling the tap support for builders using GestureDetector.
We will validate and update the details on September 15, 2023. We appreciate
your patience until then.Regards,Indumathi R
