The xamTimeline™ control’s major and minor tickmarks show the important parts of a timeline. The major tickmarks are placed first at the start point of the timeline and then every major increment after. The minor tickmarks are placed halfway between each major tickmarks. The way to change the appearance of the major and minor tickmarks is through styles.
The following xaml code shows you how to change the color, size, and intervals of the major and minor tickmarks using styles in XamTimeline control.
