MarkZone class (Schedule)

new MarkZone(oMarkZones)

The MarkZone object holds the mark-zone of the control. The MarkZone(id) method returns the mark-zone based on its index or identifier/key.

Every option of the MarkZoneOptions type has associated a property of the MarkZone object. For instance, the option:

shape {string}, defines the shape for the mark-zone (applied on the schedule view only)

is associated with the property:

Shape {string}, defines the shape for the mark-zone (applied on the schedule view only)

which means that the following statements are equivalent:

oMarkZone.Options = {shape: "lime"}
oMarkZone.SetOptions({shape: "lime"})
oMarkZone.Shape = "lime"
oMarkZone.SetShape("lime")

where oMarkZone is an object of MarkZone type

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
`oMarkZones`	MarkZone	Indicates an object of MarkZones type that's the owner collection of this mark-zone
