Hello,
how can I create a category menu as in the Appointment dialog itself.
This refers to the dialogue with the Ribbon:
dataManager.DialogFactory =new Infragistics.Controls.Schedules.ScheduleDialogFactory ();I am using a derivative of AppointmentDialogCore so I have to create the ribbon itself.Thank you
Hello Marcus,
You can see the default templates that we used for our ApointmentDialog on your computer in the following file:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Infragistics\NetAdvantage 2012.1\WPF\DefaultStyles\Schedule\generic.xaml
In this file you can search for the style with TargetType="igSchedulePrim:ActivityDialogRibbonLite" and observe the internal implementation of this “ribbon”. You can copy this styles in your application and modify them in order to suit your scenario or to reuse the control depending on your requirements.
If you need any additional information on this matter or if I have misunderstand you in any way please let me know.
Hello Elena
Thanks for the reply.I tried your way before posting, unfortunately it does not give me the opportunity I need.My second attempt was the right of ribbon extending to the ActivityDialogHelperWpf.CreateActivityDialog / RibbonWindowContentHost Ribbon. But then I'm set on the base class "AppointmentDialogCore" and I use a derivation.The third attempt brought me to the other functions of ActivityDialogHelperWpf but here are all for my case interesting point static / internal.Now I go out of ideas.Can you give me a snippet that I (in code) can produce the Categories menu?
Would you please provide me with more details about your overall goal and some screenshots of the design that you are trying to achieve so I can be sure that we are looking into the same functionality.
Thanks in advance.
Hello Elena,
thanks for the reply.
Here parts of the program ...see attached file For the example shown, I created a style for MyAppointmentDialogCore.
I created a small sample for you in order to demonstrate how you can create a custom appointment dialog with our XamSchedule. In my sample I used the approached described in the following forum thread by modifying it to VB :
http://forums.infragistics.com/forums/p/61800/326769.aspx
In order to suit your desired design I can suggest you just modify the styles for the appointment dialog from the App.xaml file.
If you have any further questions on this you can feel free to ask.
I was just wondering did you have a chance to try my suggestion. If you still need any assistance on the matter, please do not hesitate to ask.

Hi Petar,
I think it would be helpful for many (and would save time) if the collection would be public.
Thanks for your support.
Hi Marcus,
Excuse me, I had missed your reply from the 12th. I have been looking into this and wasn’t able to find any built-in functionality rather than the one I already suggested. I can again suggest you inherit from ScheduleDialogFactory where the Categories functionality is already implemented, or if you want I can submit a new Product Idea on your behalf so that such collection might get available in a future volume release of ours.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Hello Petar,
Unfortunately, their solution brings me no no more (see my posting 07/12/2012).
Your example gives me a "Category" Object not a "CategoryListItems" Object.
Is there a function that gives me instances of "CategoryListItems"?
Thank You
