New Post: Implementing a "weeks" TimelineCalendarType

lewisar — Wed, 15 May 2013 14:55:59 GMT

Gentlemen,

Apologies - I have been away for a couple of weeks, and am now catching up with all the chaos.

I will post the relevant code, which seems to be working without any problems, when I've caught up - hopefully this weekend.

New Post: Implementing a "weeks" TimelineCalendarType

andrewsyrov — Fri, 10 May 2013 21:13:58 GMT

Also, I was not sure how to implement this correctly for different calendars.

But...

01/01/0001 is Suturday, according to http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/monthly.html?year=1&month=1&country=1

So, for 01/01/0001 the index should be 0, for 01/02/0001 it should be 1 (as for 01/08/0001 it also should be 1). While, for instance, for Russia,
week starts on Monday, so it should be probably different.

Also text description of week returned from ItemToString kind of unclear. For a week 1/02/0001 through 01/08/0001 it should probably be:
1-8 Jan, 0001 (for first week of year or month)
1-8 Jan (for any other week)

(If you ever implement it please let me know, I would definitely include this feature in sources)

(public DateTime this[int]) method looks a bit strange to me it suppose to return DateTime, while you have long.

Hi, i Need the same feature, can you provide your code ?

New Post: Band Labels not showing up on initialize

Is it happening if you set MinDateTime, MaxDateTime, CurrentDateTime to, say 01/01/0002?

No, it left aligned to event start time.

Works again, this is free hosting, so it is not very reliable.

New Post: resize in both directions

I have noticed that we can resize the event only from the right side, is there a way to enable it ( resize it ) from both sides?

toddhamilton — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 17:45:32 GMT

I am trying to create a ItemSourceType=Milliseconds.

The labels for milliseconds do know paint when the program comes up.
you have to scroll for a while before you see any. And it always starts working
at 24 milliseconds for some reason???

Try to use ResetEvens method to update collection of your events from wcf.

remove it, it is ok.

New Post: Auto update of the timeline in silverlight with wcf

sholdorf — Sat, 09 Mar 2013 11:19:14 GMT

I have the psudo code for an update of the timeline using wcf but can't get it working. see below:

Backgroundworker bw = new Backgroundworker();

public void Constructor ()
{

 bw.DoWork += new DoWorkEventHandler(bw_DoWork);

        bw.RunWorkerCompleted += 
                   new RunWorkerCompletedEventHandler(bw_RunWorkerCompleted);

}

private void Update()
{

 bw.bw_DoWorkAsync();

 while (!autoEvent.WaitOne())
        {
              Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(timeline.UpdateEvents)
        }

}

private void bw_DoWork(Object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)
{

 Dispatcher.beginInvoke(GetFreshData);
 // This event is where I refresh the collection data

}

private void bw_RunWorkerCompleted(object sender, RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs e)
{

              Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(timeline.UpdateEvents) 

       //updates the timeline control where my refreshed collecton exists

}

Now, I put a break point in the bw_DoWork and bw_RunWorkerComplete which gets hit every time; however, the timeline control refresh never occurs except for the first time.

If you could give me an example of how I can get the refresh to work every 60 seconds based on my psudo code that would be great!

Thanks,

Steve Holdorf

jcgalveza — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 15:00:03 GMT

Hello, I would like to use this wonderful control on my current silverlight 5 project but I cannot include the "timeline.codeplex.com" that appears on the upper left corner of the control.
Is there any way of removing that without touching the sources?

Thanks

Juan Carlos

EDIT
Have just found a comment of "Do not remove copyright notice" on the sources. Is that a requirement for use?

I know it's been over a year since this post was made, but I'm interested in a way to achieve this also. Any help would be appreciated.

Fantastic,
I'll log it as a bug.

Also an Issue i've found around timeline labels disappearing.

This never occurred to anyone, while may be a good feature. Please add a bug for me with description I will fix it on weekend.

Thanks!

New Post: Overview (non-scrolling) Band

bencoder — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 18:19:29 GMT

I've trawled through the source and this doesn't seem to exist.

Is there a way to lock a band in place to use as an overview of the whole time series?

New Post: Implementing a "weeks" TimelineCalendarType

lewisar — Fri, 04 Jan 2013 10:21:28 GMT

OK, apologies. Once again as soon as I posted this I found the problem! I wasn't calculating the first day of each week correctly - now that I am it all scrolls perfectly.

Posting problems in a discussion forum is absolutely the best way to fix them!

New Post: Implementing a "weeks" TimelineCalendarType

lewisar — Fri, 04 Jan 2013 09:36:04 GMT

Am having fun with this excellent control, but have come up against a stumbling block.

I find that for my application I need an intermediate secondary timeline band type between "Months" and "Days" just to make the display a little less "noisy" for larger time-windows. So I thought "Weeks" would be the obvious choice (effectively a days*7 like the Minutes*10 or decades etc).

I've added "weeks" to the enum type and appropriate switch cases in TimelineCalendar, TimelineBand and TimelineBuilder modules, added a special DateTimeConverter so that if it's a "weeks" band it shows the Month if the date is < 8, and everything displays correctly, I get the column spacing I was hoping for, but .... it doesn't scroll correctly. The column markers just "judder" a little in place and then the column date annotations change if I scroll a week further. So the static display is actually ok once the scrolling is over, but the scrolling itself is definitely disappointing.

Could someone give me a pointer as to what I've missed - or am I trying to go a step too far?

Thanks

Ade
