Colors

Say you've assigned a resource to an appointment and you want to make it visually distinctive from the rest.  The resource can be anything - room, status, priority and so on. Until the Q1'09 release this required writing some code, but not any more.

You can now define a set of resource filters that will apply a CSS class when a match is found. For example:

<telerik:RadScheduler runat="server" ID="RadScheduler1" ...>

<ResourceStyles>
<telerik:ResourceStyleMapping Type="Calendar" Text="Development" ApplyCssClass="rsCategoryGreen" />

<telerik:ResourceStyleMapping Type="Calendar" Text="Marketing" ApplyCssClass="rsCategoryRed" />

<telerik:ResourceStyleMapping Type="Calendar" Text="Work" ApplyCssClass="rsCategoryOrange" />

</ResourceStyles>
</telerik:RadScheduler>

You can match resource's type, key and/or text. All matching rules will be applied.

For your convenience, we've included a number of predefined styles:

  • bg_blue rsCategoryBlue
  • bg_darkblue rsCategoryDarkBlue
  • bg_darkgreen rsCategoryDarkGreen
  • bg_green rsCategoryGreen
  • bg_darkred rsCategoryDarkRed
  • bg_orange rsCategoryOrange
  • bg_pink rsCategoryPink
  • bg_red rsCategoryRed
  • bg_violet rsCategoryViolet
  • bg_yellow rsCategoryYellow

Happy styling!
