Views

The library lets you present tasks (events) in scheduler in different views. Thus, you can choose the view that fits you needs best.

Scheduler contains 3 tabs with the following default views:

• Day view
• Week view
• Month view

You can also make use of the following additional views:

• Agenda View
• Grid View
• Map View
• Timeline View
• WeekAgenda View
• Units View
• Year View

The added views (available on the client-side) are stored in the DHXScheduler.Views container.

Here are some useful properties and functions to operate the views:

Referring to a view

You can refer to the added views as follows:

var view = scheduler.Views[i]; // where i < scheduler.Views.Count()

Removing all views from scheduler

To remove all views from the scheduler, you need to clear the DHXScheduler.Views container like this:

scheduler.Views.Clear();

Adding a new view

To add a new view, use the code below:

scheduler.Views.Add(new AgendaView());

Setting the initial date

You can set the initial date in the following way:

scheduler.InitialDate = new DateTime(2011, 10, 7);

Setting the initially selected view

By default, the Week view is selected initially. If you want some other view to be selected initially, use the code as in:

var unit = new UnitsView("unit", "key");
scheduler.Views.Add(unit);
...
scheduler.InitialView = unit.Name;

The property is set to the value of the Name property of the view.

Scheduler supports creation of custom views. You can find more information in the corresponding article.
