Set Time and Date Intervals for WinTimelineView
The WinTimelineView™ control displays TimeSlots and Appointments as columns along a horizontal timeline presented from left to right. End-users can resize the columns, thereby increasing or decreasing the number of visible TimeSlots.
The WinTimelineView control enables you to span Time and (or) Date as TimeSlots. For this purpose, the TimeInterval and DateInterval objects can be used to define any regularly repeating interval. The Interval property of type integer can be used to define the number of periods in a cycle, and the IntervalUnits property can be used to define the unit of time, with its value being expressed in Minutes or Hours (for the TimeInterval class), or days, weeks, months or years (for the DateInterval class).
The duration of each division of time presented in a column can be defined through the PrimaryInterval property. Any number of additional date or time intervals can be displayed above the primary interval by adding members to the AdditionalIntervals collection. When one or more members exist in the AdditionalIntervals collection, multiple date/time intervals are displayed from top to bottom in order of descending duration, e.g., the time intervals with longer durations appear above those whose duration is shorter. Once your TimeInterval and (or) DateInterval objects are configured, they can then be assigned to the PrimaryInterval or AdditionalIntervals properties.
For example a TimeInterval of two hours can be set as the PrimaryInterval and a DateInterval of one month can be set as the AdditionalInterval. It is necessary that you have one PrimaryInterval to represent the Timeslots. AdditionalIntervals are optional depending upon the scenario, and any number of AdditionalIntervals can be assigned to the WinTimelineView control.
