What is a DisplayMode?
There is more than one way to display a schedule. GbSchedule makes multiple display
modes available. A display mode is nothing more than a set of properties that define a
“look-and-feel” of a particular schedule layout. Many users require specific ways to
display data tailored to their exact needs. To keep the control as general-purpose as
possible, very few properties may be used to control the display in a remarkable variety
of ways. The property that most notably controls the display behavior of the schedule is
the Viewmode.
ViewMode
The Viewmode property determines the actual layout of the schedule. A wide variety of
displays may be had. You may control the display of the days, rooms, and times with
this property. The visibility of each may be toggled on and off. Also the position of each
may be changed. For example the time may be displayed in the top margin and the
dates in the left margin.
