appointment occurrence tooltip in recurrence

[Iurie Coroban]

Hi, Telerik!
 I have a little question. In my project i have to show appontment tooltip in wich i need to display appointments strat and  end  . If appointment has a recurrence, on each occurence it get start and end of parent appointment, not for current occurence. How i can resolve this issue?

Hi Iurie,

In order to get all the occurrences of a recurring appointment I can suggest you to use the GetOccurrences() method. In that way you will have all the occurrences and you can get their start and end time.

Hope this information helps.

Thanks, Konstantina , for reply! I knew about GetOccurrences() method. But it is a problem to find in the list of occurrences that one, on wich users cursor shows. Can you suggest me the decision?

Hello Iurie,

RadScheduleView have TooltipTemplate property which you can use to show custom tooltip on all appointments/occurrences.
The DataContext of the Tooltip however is not appointment but AppointmentItemProxy. This is custom class used for performance optimizations. It has Start, End, Subject and other appointment properties (but not all) which gives you the start/end of the current occurrence. It also has Appointment property which holds the master appointment. So in your scenario you have to create DataTemplate and bind the Textblock Text property to Appointment.Start and the next Textblock to Appointment.End.

Let us know if you need more information.

Hi,Hristo !
Yes, I use DataTemplate and bind the textblock text property as you say, but it shows the Start and End of appointment, not for his occurrence! Here is my simple Tooltip template:  
<DataTemplate x:Key="ToolTipTemplate">
            <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
                <TextBlock Text="{Binding Appointment.Start}"/>               
                <TextBlock Text=" - "/>
                <TextBlock Text="{Binding Appointment.End}"/>
            </StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
I have tried to bind just Start and End. But it is still displaying Start and End of main apppointment.

Hi Iurie,

You are correct. We have a bug in the logic that sets Start and End properties and they are always as the master appointment. We will fix it for the next Latest Internal Build.

Thank you for reporting this issue. I've updated your telerik points.

Thanks, Hristo!
    I have another issues related to the recurrence. The ScheduleView gives to user ability to edit or delete occurrence of appointments. I can use  GetOccurrences method to get all appointments and save them in my database, but how can i set to master appointment the list of modified occurrences. Is there something like SetOccurrences method, or may be i should set some properties in  ReccurenceRule?

[Hristo]

Hello Iurie,

Occurrences are generated based on RecurrenceRule. You cannot set  them except for exceptions (e.g. occurrences which violate the rule).
You can read more about Occurrences here:

Hi Martha,

I suggest you try our Q2 SP1 release that is available for download in your account. This version should contains the described fix.

Hi Martha,
