Change Appointments back color

[Tiago]

Dear friends,

I have a read only RadScheduler, and i need to change the backcolor of it when i have text in one those fields.

For example, the default backcolor is blue, but when one of the dataset fields contains some text, i need to change the backcolor to red.

Thank you.

Dear friends,

I found a very simple solution.

Using the BackgroundId you can easily change the appointments backcolor.

For example:

appointmentMappingInfo.BackgroundId = "state";

You can add the field state(int) with the correspondent number ... i found that the number 2 is the red, 11 is yellow and 4 is green!

Good luck to you all!!

Hi Tiago Pinho,

If you want to change appointment background, you can use the Background and BackgroundID properties. The background property points to the AppointmentBackground enumeration with values such as Personal, Business, None, PhoneCall. Every value in the AppointmentBackground has a different color representation for the appointments.

I hope this helps.

All the best,

Hello shinu rag,

Thank you for writing.
 
Unfortunately, we do not have way to add custom Background, but you could replace some of the existing background colors. The following code snippet represents how to implement it:
 

AppointmentBackgroundInfo appointmentBackgroundInfoOld = this.radScheduler1.Backgrounds[5] as AppointmentBackgroundInfo;
AppointmentBackgroundInfo appointmentBackgroundInfoNew = new AppointmentBackgroundInfo(appointmentBackgroundInfoOld.Id, appointmentBackgroundInfoOld.DisplayName, Color.Cyan);
this.radScheduler1.Backgrounds[5] = appointmentBackgroundInfoNew;

 
The existing background Ids are between 1 and 11.

If you have additional question feel free to ask.

Sincerely yours,

Hello,

Using the above code, the font color is also changed to background color.

Is it possible to change the background color and keep the text/details font color of the appointment or even change it to a new one? For instance change background color to black and text color to white.

Best regards

Solved! Just added a few lines of code:

Dim AtrasadoInfoOld As AppointmentBackgroundInfo = TryCast(Me.RadScheduler1.Backgrounds(6), AppointmentBackgroundInfo)
Dim AtrasadoInfoNew As New AppointmentBackgroundInfo(AtrasadoInfoOld.Id, AtrasadoInfoOld.DisplayName, Color.Yellow)
AtrasadoInfoNew.ForeColor = Color.Black
AtrasadoInfoNew.BackColor = Color.Yellow
AtrasadoInfoNew.BackColor2 = Color.Yellow
Me.RadScheduler1.Backgrounds(6) = AtrasadoInfoNew
