Released on November 10, 2007 (build 1264).

Features

F50 CSS class styling (DayPilotCalendar & DayPilotScheduler)

It is be possible to set selected style properties using CSS class rather than by control properties: 

Headers:

• background-color
• color
• font-size
• font-family

Events:

• background-color
• color
• font-size
• font-family

Background cells:

• background-color

Border between hour cells (DayPilotCalendar):

• border-bottom

Border inside an hour (DayPilotCalendar only):

• border-bottom

Border between cells (DayPilotScheduler only):

• border-right

These classes definitions can be overriden by setting the individual styles (just like in regular HTML).

Declaration example:

Style:

<style type="text/css">
.daypilot.event {
    background-color: lightyellow;
    color: #808080;
    font-family: Tahoma;
    font-size: 8pt;
}
.daypilot.header {
    font-family: Tahoma;
    font-size: 10pt;
    background-color: silver;
}
.daypilot.cellbackground {
    background-color: white;
}

.daypilot.hourcellborder {
    border-bottom: 1px solid red;
}

.daypilot.hourhalfcellborder {
    border-bottom: 1px solid green;
}

</style>

DayPilotCalendar:

<DayPilot:DayPilotCalendar ID="DayPilotCalendar1" runat="server" DataSourceID="XmlDataSource1"
        DataTextField="name" DataValueField="id" StartDate="2007-01-01" DataStartField="Start"
        DataEndField="End" Days="7" Width="100%" EventBackColor="" EventFontFamily="" HourNameBackColor=""
        EventFontSize="" HeaderFontFamily="" HeaderFontSize="" NonBusinessBackColor="" BackColor="" 
        HourBorderColor="" HourHalfBorderColor="" CssClass="daypilot">
    </DayPilot:DayPilotCalendar>

(F15) Bubbles (DayPilotCalendar & DayPilotScheduler)

Bubbles will show event details when mouse stays on an event for a while.

• DayPilotBubble is a separate control that is assigned to DayPilotCalendar/DayPilotScheduler control using BubbleID property.
• It is shown at the cursor location, taking the window boundaries into account (it always shows in the visible window area).
• The bubble tries not to be obtrusive:
  • The ShowAfter countdown starts only when you stop moving the mouse.
  • The bubble doesn't show if the cursor is inside an action area (when the cursor is changed to indicate moving or resizing, when the cursor is over the delete button).
• It disappears when you move the mouse out of the bubble and out of the event or when you click on the bubble.
• The content is loaded dynamically from the server.
• When the bubble is to be shown, it sends the event ID (from DataValueField) to the server-side event DayPilotBubble.RenderContent where you can specify the content using e.InnerHTML property.
• Any HTML can be shown, including formatted text, images, etc.
• Rendering ASP.NET controls inside the bubble is not supported.

Customizable properties:

• Width (height is adjusted automatically according to the content)
• BackColor (color of the bubble background) 
• BorderColor (color of the bubble border)
• ShowAfter (miliseconds before it shows up)
• HideAfter (miliseconds before it hides when the mouse goes out of the bubble or the event)
• UseShadow (whether the bubble should have a shadow)
• LoadingText (The message to be shown while the content is being loaded from the server)

Usage

• Bubbles are activated automatically for DayPilotCalendar/DayPilotScheduler when you assign the BubbleID property.
• The original ToolTips are not automatically turned off (You should set ShowToolTip to "false"). This might change in a future release.

Example

Assigning

DayPilotBubble declaration

    <DayPilot:DayPilotBubble ID="DayPilotBubble1" runat="server" 
       OnRenderContent="DayPilotBubble1_RenderContent" ClientObjectName="bubble">
    </DayPilot:DayPilotBubble>

Content generation

    protected void DayPilotBubble1_RenderContent(object sender, BubbleRenderContentEventArgs e)
    {
        e.InnerHTML = "<b>Event details</b><br />Here is the right place" +
          "to show details about the event with ID: " + e.Argument + 
          ". This text is loaded dynamically from the server.";
