That the user is able to inspect exactly what ITimeLineItems (more on this later) make up a single bar by clicking on the bar.That the user is able to navigate down/back up the date trail.That the user is able to pan around the decades.These are some of the things that you should take note of whilst watching the video. But before you do, I urge you to read about the points to look out for in the video before you view the video, as by looking out for these points, you will gain a better understanding of how the code associated with this article works. Simply click on this image which will take you to a new page showing the video.
This article is best demonstrated with a Video (note there is no audio), but I will explain all the video working in detail within this article. There is really only one pre-requisite for this control, which is VS2008 or VS2010 if you have it. I shall also talk about how to Re-Style the control, in case heaven forbid you do not get on with my own Styling. The rest of this article will outline how the control works and what you will need to do to use it in your own project. Note it is for WPF only, and I doubt it will ever work in Silverlight due to a DLL dependency on a 3 rd party library it has. The upshot of this is that I have created what I think is a pretty re-usable TimeLine control for WPF. And although it was fantastic it was not quite what I was after, so I thought may be I'll give it a try and see what I come up with. I did find an absolutely brilliant control at which unfortunately for me is currently only available for Silverlight (WPF version is coming but not yet). So I launched my trusty browser and went into Google and had a look around. Some sort of time line control if you will. I was less than happy with this and kept thinking there must be a better way to display data that is across a timespan. Now we can get literally thousands of these recurrent items, and guess what display metaphor we went for to make it easy for the user to see. How To Re-Style It, If You Do Not Like The Cut Of My JibĪt work we have an ongoing project which uses scheduled items, and we have to display these items to the user.Separation Of Concerns / Composition (ok so it's not all about the states).
