RightToLeft behaviour of the schedule control

[Risath]

Hi everyone,

I want to set the RightToLeft behaviour for the schedule control.

I set the RightToLeft property like this.

this.RightToLeft = System.Windows.Forms.RightToLeft.Yes; //For the Form

this.scheduleControl1.RightToLeft = RightToLeft.Yes; //For the schedule control

It loads with the Month view. After that when I change the view to Day it crashes

The error message is


See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

I want to know whether the schedule control supports RightToLeft feature. If so how can I fix this?

Thanks in advance.

I cannot reproduce this problem using the samples we ship. Can you? I am using the 6.2.0.32RC that is available in the downloads area of this website.

Is this problem related to a particular culture setting?

Does the problem occur with a calendar that is empty of appointments? If not, check whether your list of appointments is ordered as described in your earlier forum thread.

Jisha showed me how to see this problem. If you use the Form's menu item to change to Day view, then the exception does occur. I was using the right-click context menu to change to the Day view. Doing the change to Day view through the context menu does not throw this exception that is seen when you use the main menu item to change the view.

In our sample, you can avoid this problem by changing how the view is set. Instead of using the PerformSwitchToScheduleViewTypeClick, use the SwitchTo method on the ScheduleGrid object as shown in this code.

private void menuItem12_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
		{
            if (this.scheduleControl1.ScheduleType != ScheduleViewType.Day)
            {
                this.scheduleControl1.GetScheduleHost().SwitchTo(ScheduleViewType.Day, true);
               // this.scheduleControl1.PerformSwitchToScheduleViewTypeClick(ScheduleViewType.Day);
            }
		}

We will correct the PerformSwitchToScheduleViewTypeClick code in library so that method should also work in the future.
