Disable editing but still want events

[PaulMrozowski]

I want a "read only" version of the calendar, but I'd like the users to be able to double-click on appointments to view their detail. If I set "AllowEdit" to false, the OnAppointmentClick event doesn't fire. If I enable it, the users can do things like drag and drop the appointments (which I definitely don't want). Any thoughts on how I can do this?

Hi Paul,

You can use the OnClientAppointmentDoubleClick instead of the server event. The client event will fire even if the appointment is read-only.

function OnClientAppointmentDoubleClick(sender, eventArgs)
{
    var subject = eventArgs.get_appointment().get_subject();
    alert(subject);

}

I also needed a read-only scheduler, however I wanted to be able to use the serverside events. So I had to use another approach. Basically what I do is something like calling in the OnAppointmentClick event:

e.Cancel = True
'Execute my own logic

That way I can use the serverside events, while using some sort of read-only mode.

I am also in need of a readonly scheduler. But I am not seeing e.Cancel in OnAppointmentClick  event. Could you please post your code to understand it better?

[Martin de Ruiter]

Well for example, I want to disable that the scheduler creates its forms:

Private Sub SAgenda_FormCreating(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.SchedulerFormCreatingEventArgs) Handles SAgenda.FormCreating
    e.Cancel = True
    If (e.Appointment.ID Is Nothing) Then
        'Do stuff
    Else
        'Do other stuff
    End If
End Sub

Then using AppointmentClick I can do what I want too:

Private Sub SAgenda_AppointmentClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.SchedulerEventArgs) Handles SAgenda.AppointmentClick
    'Do what I want
End Sub
