How to obtain the details of a multi-day spanned appointment based on the position of the mouse hover? ~ Split from F186694
I'm picking this project up and working on getting a custom tooltip control to show/hide for appointment items in the grid. I'm successfully using ScheduleControl.GetItemAtPoint to retrieve the item ID on a mousehover for all single day appointments, but multiday spans do not return an item when using GetItemAtPoint.
Is there a way to retrieve the IScheduleAppointment of a multiday span with a mouse position?
Hi Steve Stich,
Thank you for reaching out.
Based on the information you provided, your requirement is to obtain the details of multi-day appointments based on the position of the mouse hover.
To proceed further, could you please share how you handled the single-day appointment details using the GetItemAtPoint method in the mouse hover event? If possible, kindly share a code snippet, as it would be helpful for us to move forward.
Thank you for your cooperation, and we look forward to your
response.

Here's how I setup the calendar and the handler for GetScheduleHost.CellMouseHover. The CellMouseHover retrieves the item with HoverItem = MainScheduleControl.GetItemAtPoint(e.MouseEventArgs.Location, HovertItemHitType).
MainScheduleControl = Me.ScheduleControl1
MainScheduleControl.ShowMultiDayAppointmentsAsSpans = True
MainScheduleControl.DataSource = ScheduleDP
AddHandler MainScheduleControl.GetScheduleHost.ShowingAdvancedToolTip, AddressOf MainScheduleControl_ShowingAdvancedToolTip
AddHandler MainScheduleControl.GetScheduleHost.CellMouseHover, AddressOf MainScheduleControl_CellMouseHover
AddHandler MainScheduleControl.GetScheduleHost.CellMouseHoverLeave, AddressOf MainScheduleControl_CellMouseHoverLeave
Private Sub MainScheduleControl_CellMouseHover(sender As Object, e As GridCellMouseEventArgs)
Dim HoverItem As IScheduleAppointment
Dim HoverItemALA As ArrayListAppointment
Dim HovertItemHitType As ItemHitType
Dim ToolTipPosition As Point
'Debug.WriteLine("CellMouseHover e.mouseeventargs.Location: " & e.MouseEventArgs.Location.ToString)
'Debug.WriteLine("CellMouseHover MainScheduleControl Location: " & MainScheduleControl.Location.ToString)
'Debug.WriteLine("CellMouseHover GetScheduleHost Location: " & MainScheduleControl.GetScheduleHost().MousePosition.ToString)
'Debug.WriteLine("CellMouseHover TestPosition: " & TestPosition.ToString)
HoverItem = MainScheduleControl.GetItemAtPoint(e.MouseEventArgs.Location, HovertItemHitType)
HoverItemALA = CType(HoverItem, ArrayListAppointment)
If HoverItem IsNot Nothing Then
'We have a good item, show the tooltip
'Debug.WriteLine("HoverItem: " & HoverItem.UniqueID)
'Debug.WriteLine("Showing CustomToolTip at: " & e.MouseEventArgs.Location.ToString())
'Debug.WriteLine("Cursor.Position: " & Cursor.Position.ToString())
'Debug.WriteLine("Position on form: " & CalendarForm.MousePosition.ToString)
If CalendarForm.ActiveForm IsNot Nothing Then
ToolTipPosition.X = CalendarForm.MousePosition.X - CalendarForm.ActiveForm.Location.X + 5
ToolTipPosition.Y = CalendarForm.MousePosition.Y - CalendarForm.ActiveForm.Location.Y - Cursor.Size.Height
' Debug.WriteLine("ToolTipPosition: " & ToolTipPosition.ToString)
If SharedCalendarToolTipItem IsNot Nothing And ToolTipControl IsNot Nothing Then
'We have an existing item
If SharedCalendarToolTipItem.UniqueID = HoverItem.UniqueID Then
'We have the same item, don't change anything but make sure it's visible
'Debug.WriteLine("ToolTipItem has not changed, ToolTipControl.Visible = " & ToolTipControl.Visible.ToString)
ToolTipControl.Visible = True
Else
'This is a different item
LoadToolTipData(HoverItemALA, ToolTipControl)
SharedCalendarToolTipItem = HoverItem
ToolTipControl.Location = ToolTipPosition
ToolTipControl.Visible = True
Debug.WriteLine("ToolTipItem has changed, ToolTipControl.Visible = " & ToolTipControl.Visible.ToString)
End If
Else
'We don't have an existing item, create and show the tooltip
Debug.WriteLine("Creating CalendarToolTip")
ToolTipControl = New CalendarToolTip
With ToolTipControl
.Name = "myCustomCalendarToolTip"
.Location = ToolTipPosition
.Visible = True
.Width = 219
.Height = 280
End With
'Me.ScheduleControl1.SendToBack()
'Me.ScheduleControl1.Controls.Add(ToolTipControl)
BeginControlUpdate(ToolTipControl)
Me.Controls.Add(ToolTipControl)
ToolTipControl.SuspendLayout()
ToolTipControl.BringToFront()
LoadToolTipData(HoverItemALA, ToolTipControl)
EndControlUpdate(ToolTipControl)
SharedCalendarToolTipItem = HoverItem
Debug.WriteLine("ToolTip Name: " & ToolTipControl.Name)
Debug.WriteLine("ToolTip Location: " & ToolTipControl.Location.ToString)
End If
End If
Else
'We don't have an item, hide and release it
'CustomCalendarToolTip.Visible = False
If ToolTipControl IsNot Nothing Then
Debug.WriteLine("ToolTip Name: " & ToolTipControl.Name)
Debug.WriteLine("ToolTip Location: " & ToolTipControl.Location.ToString)
Debug.WriteLine("Removing CalendarToolTip")
'ToolTipControl.Visible = True
Me.Controls.Remove(ToolTipControl)
ToolTipControl.Dispose()
ToolTipControl = Nothing
If SharedCalendarToolTipItem IsNot Nothing Then
SharedCalendarToolTipItem = Nothing
End If
End If
End If
End Sub

Thank you for sharing the code snippet. We have replicated the issue where the GetItemAtPoint() method does not return the correct item when defining multi-day appointments. We require additional time to validate the issue and will provide further details by January 03, 2025. We appreciate your patience during this process.
