How to load appointments on demand in WPF Scheduler?
1 min read
The WPF scheduler supports load appointments on-demand with a loading indicator.
C#
Use QueryAppointments to load the appointments in on-demand for the visible date range. Loading appointments in on-demand improves the loading performance when you have appointments ranging for multiple years. Start and stop the loading indicator animation before and after the appointments are loaded using the ShowBusyIndicator.
private async void OnScheduleQueryAppointments(object sender, QueryAppointmentsEventArgs e)
{
schedule.ShowBusyIndicator = true;
await Task.Delay(1000);
schedule.ItemsSource = this.GenerateSchedulerAppointments(e.VisibleDateRange);
schedule.ShowBusyIndicator = false;
}
private IEnumerable GenerateSchedulerAppointments(DateRange dateRange)
{
Random random = new Random();
int daysCount = (dateRange.ActualEndDate - dateRange.ActualStartDate).Days;
var appointments = new ObservableCollection<ScheduleAppointment>();
for (int i = 0; i < 50; i++)
{
var startTime = dateRange.ActualStartDate.AddDays(random.Next(0, daysCount + 1)).AddHours(random.Next(0, 24));
appointments.Add(new ScheduleAppointment
{
StartTime = startTime,
EndTime = startTime.AddHours(1),
Subject = subjectCollection[random.Next(0, subjectCollection.Count)],
AppointmentBackground = brush[random.Next(0, brush.Count)],
});
}
return appointments;
}
