The purpose of this lesson is to show you how to group and select appointments by their resources.
1. We’ll start from the simple application of Lesson 2.
2. Looking at the Scheduler toolbox, we see three controls obviously intended for selecting resources.
3. Let’s drop one of them, which is like the popup box, to the form and dock it to the top where it becomes bound to the Scheduler.
4. To group appointments, I need to set the “Group Type” property of the “Scheduler Control”.
5. I need to set it to ‘Resource’, since we’ll be displaying and grouping appointments by ‘Resource’.
6. I also have to limit the number of resources which will be displayed on a page in a “Week View” to something like 3 – otherwise the display will become overcrowded.
7. Then, I need to assign several values under the “Options View Resource Headers” branch of properties, for proper displaying of images and the captions of the resources.
8. Now, I shall run the application.
9. This is the group view of the scheduler.
10. The appointments are grouped by resources. The Resources’ pictures and captions are displayed within the headers.
11. Notice the “Resource Navigator” element. It is used for changing the number of resources per page and scrolling through them.
12. I can also make resources invisible, by unchecking them in the popup “Check List Box”.
