TimelinePanel Class

Represents a WPF panel that arranges its children along a timeline, based on the Date attached property of each item.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
<LocalizabilityAttribute(LocalizationCategory.Ignore)>
<ContentPropertyAttribute("Children")>
<StyleTypedPropertyAttribute(Property="FocusVisualStyle", StyleTargetType=System.Windows.Controls.Control)>
<XmlLangPropertyAttribute("Language")>
<UsableDuringInitializationAttribute(True)>
<RuntimeNamePropertyAttribute("Name")>
<UidPropertyAttribute("Uid")>
<TypeDescriptionProviderAttribute(MS.Internal.ComponentModel.DependencyObjectProvider)>
<NameScopePropertyAttribute("NameScope", System.Windows.NameScope)>
Public Class TimelinePanel 
   Inherits System.Windows.Controls.Panel

'Usage
 
Dim instance As TimelinePanel

[Localizability(LocalizationCategory.Ignore)]
[ContentProperty("Children")]
[StyleTypedProperty(Property="FocusVisualStyle", StyleTargetType=System.Windows.Controls.Control)]
[XmlLangProperty("Language")]
[UsableDuringInitialization(true)]
[RuntimeNameProperty("Name")]
[UidProperty("Uid")]
[TypeDescriptionProvider(MS.Internal.ComponentModel.DependencyObjectProvider)]
[NameScopeProperty("NameScope", System.Windows.NameScope)]
public class TimelinePanel : System.Windows.Controls.Panel

Remarks

The UnitSize and UnitTimeSpan properties are used to determine how much space (UnitSize, in pixels) is used in the representation of an item on the TimelinePanel by each multiple of a given timespan (UnitTimeSpan). For example, on a TimelinePanel in which UnitSize is set to 5.0 (pixels) and UnitTimeSpan is set to 12 hours, an element that lasts 14 days (336 hours) would be 140 pixels wide:

336 / 12 = 28 intervals of 12 hours
28 * 5 = 140

These properties must be used in conjunction and with valid values for them to work properly.

Example

The following example shows how to create a TimeLinePanel containing a few images. Setting the Date attached property of the items the timeline contains determines where they are placed on the timeline.

XAML

<xctk:TimelinePanel BeginDate="01/01/2007" EndDate="12/31/2007">
  <Image Margin="5,5,5,5" Width="100" xctk:TimelinePanel.Date="02/01/2007"
      Source="C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\Landscapes\img8.jpg" />
  <Image Margin="5,5,5,5" Width="100" xctk:TimelinePanel.Date="03/31/2007"
      Source="C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\Landscapes\img8.jpg" />
  <Image Margin="5,5,5,5" Width="100" xctk:TimelinePanel.Date="07/06/2007"
      Source="C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\Landscapes\img8.jpg" />
  <Image Margin="5,5,5,5" Width="100" xctk:TimelinePanel.Date="10/02/2007"
      Source="C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\Landscapes\img8.jpg" />
</xctk:TimelinePanel>
