WinForms Scheduler - Hide weekends (Timeline View)

This example uses a custom scale (TimeScaleWorkWeekDay) to hide weekends. The TimeScaleWorkWeekDay class inherits base functionality from the TimeScaleDay class and overrides the IsDateVisible method:

public class TimeScaleWorkWeekDay : TimeScaleDay {
    protected override string DefaultDisplayFormat { get { return "d ddd"; } }
    protected override string DefaultMenuCaption { get { return "WorkWeek"; } }
    public override bool IsDateVisible(DateTime date) {
        return date.DayOfWeek != DayOfWeek.Sunday && date.DayOfWeek != DayOfWeek.Saturday;
    }
}

The following code hides/shows weekends:

private void checkEdit1_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    CheckEdit editor = sender as CheckEdit;
    HideWeekends(editor.Checked);
}
private void HideWeekends(bool hide) {
    TimeScaleCollection scales = schedulerControl1.TimelineView.Scales;
    if (hide) {
        scales.BeginUpdate();
        try {
            scales.Clear();
            scales.Add(new TimeScaleMonth());
            TimeScaleWorkWeekDay customWorkWeekScale = new TimeScaleWorkWeekDay();
            customWorkWeekScale.Width = 125;
            scales.Add(customWorkWeekScale);

        }
        finally {
            scales.EndUpdate();
        }
    }
    else {
        scales.BeginUpdate();
        try {
            scales.Clear();
            scales.Add(new TimeScaleMonth());
            TimeScaleDay dayScale = new TimeScaleDay();
            dayScale.Width = 125;
            scales.Add(dayScale);
        }
        finally {
            scales.EndUpdate();
        }
    }
}
