| Solutions Schedule 2.0 for .NET
Enterprise Edition |
| |
| In addition to the
Windows Vista and extended Windows XP styles the following
features are found in the Enterprise Edition of
Solutions::Schedule 2.0 for .NET: |
| |
| Copy TimeBar,
which when invoked provides a keyboard short-cut with a
click and drag action to copy one or more TimeBars
simultaneously. |
| The List view area of dbiSchedule offers
users the ability to resize a
schedule item�s row height and column width using the mouse
(Microsoft Excel - style). |
| Fixed (non-scrolling)
Header & Footer at the top
and bottom of the control that displays in the list and schedule
area. Ideal for branding the content of the schedule
and/or summarizing the activity of all the schedule items as
whole, independent of list item headers, items, and time bar
detail. Includes UserDrawn support to allow the developer
to completely customize the contents of the area. |
 |
| Supporting the
multi-level Undo and Redo capability there are two
History Collections which
log actions ( creating, moving, sizing, erasing, linking,
unlinking) associated with TimeBars and the Undo/ and Redo events. |
| The
Tag Property (Tags are typically
of type Object) can be an ideal candidate for persisting
relationships between an object and its record. |
| Scroll to Date
Time method is an effective means for programmatically
navigating to specific points in time on a schedule. |
| Selected
TimeBar Collection
- a collection representing the currently selected TimeBars in
the dbiSchedule control. |
| |
| TimeBar
Activity display - allows the developer to
visually present the percentage of completion of an
activity (time bar). |
| TimeBar
Linking styles - link TimeBars in any combination of:
Start to Start, Start to End, End to Start and End to End with
Standard, Reciprocal or Direct Links. Link lines can also be
given unique colours enhancing visual presentation of TimeBar
relationships. |
| TimeBar Split
Edit - indicated by the scissors mouse
cursor, this edit mode effectively splits a TimeBar into two
TimeBars at the cursor position. |
 |
| User-Drawn
TimeBars
provide developers an opportunity to take
over the painting of any or all time bars in the dbiSchedule
control. User Drawn Time Bars behave the same as standard
time bars. |
| User-Drawn Item
provides the developer a
custom painting area within the body of the schedule items
inside the schedule area of the control and within the map area
of the control. User Drawn items behave the same as
standard items and scroll with the movement of the vertical
scroll bar. |
 |
| |
| Dead zones are
custom areas of the schedule defined as areas where an
appointment cannot be created, moved or sized into. Custom areas
are discrete segments of the schedule which can coloured
offering quick visual presentation of reserved areas. |
| Adding a visual
reference point for the current date and time in a schedule is
simple by using the Current Time Line feature. Colour
settings for the Current Time line give developers added
flexibility in the overall presentation. |
TimeBar Split
Edit - indicated by the scissors mouse cursor, this
 edit
mode effectively splits a TimeBar into two sections at the
cursor position. |
| |
| Time Lines
are a subtle way to give a schedule presentation
definition allowing the eye to follow through the schedule on a
particular point. Time lines extend vertically through the
schedule area and are drawn along the major time segments. |
|
The list object in the dbiSchedule control acts as both a List
View and a Tree View. |
Developers can
effectively add Zoom-in / Zoom-out capabi lities
in their software by programmatically changing the value of the
TimeDistance property of the dbiSchedule control. |
