DayPilot » Knowledge Base » How to show business hours on weekends in Scheduler

It is possible to hide non-business hours using ShowNonBusiness property (ShowNonBusiness="false") in the Scheduler.

This is the default business hours definition:

• Work week days (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday) between BusinessBeginsHour and BusinessEndsHour (by default 9am - 6pm).
• Weekends (Saturday, Sunday) are excluded.

Customization

It is possible to show/hide individual time slots per column (but not per cell) using BeforeTimeHeaderRender event handler:

• Check that the event is called for a column (rather than column group) using e.IsColGroup.
• Set the e.Visible property.

Example

    protected void DayPilotScheduler1_BeforeTimeHeaderRender(object sender, DayPilot.Web.Ui.Events.BeforeTimeHeaderRenderEventArgs e)
        if (!e.IsColGroup && (e.Start.DayOfWeek == DaysOfWeek.Saturday || e.Start.DayOfWeek == DaysOfWeek.Sunday))
        {
            if (DayPilotScheduler1.CellDuration < 60 * 24) { // use business hours for one cell < one day resolution
                if (end.TimeOfDay.TotalHours <= BusinessBeginsHour)
                {
                    e.Visible = false;
                }
                else if (start.TimeOfDay.TotalHours >= BusinessEndsHour)
                {
                    e.Visible = false;
                }
                else {
                    e.Visible = true;
                }
            }
            else if (DayPilotScheduler1.CellDuration == 60 * 24) {  // always show it when one cell == one day
              e.Visible = true;
            }
        }     
    }

Time cell colors based on IsBusiness

If ShowNonBusiness is set to true, the non-business time cells are highlighted using a different background color:

• Business cells: BackColor
• Non-business cells: NonBusinessBackColor

This behavior can be customized per cell using BeforeCellRender event handler (e.IsBusiness property). It is also possible to specify the color directly (e.BackgroundColor).
