Edit appointment dialog

[Josh]

Is there a method to make the edit appointment dialog completely custom? If this is not possible is there a way to force the schedule view to refresh after an appointment has been edited out side of the dialog shown? We have tried to set the EditDialogStyle to a custom template but it does not give us the desired results it displays the exact same as before.

Thanks!

Hello,

Setting the EditDialogStyle is the correct way to change the dialog of the ScheduleView.
Could you please let us know the exact problems you experience. If you could give us some more details about your scenario it will be very helpful for providing you with the best solution for your case.

More information how to replace the dialogs in the ScheduleView, you could find in this help article: http://www.telerik.com/help/wpf/radscheduleview-features-customizing-dialog-windows.html

We are using the schedule view to schedule events with-in a simulation. the simulation lasts for about an hour in most cases. The events have nothing to do with calendar dates or the other stuff built into the schedule view. So we tried to make our custom dialog into a control template and set the style of the edit dialog in code behind. It shows the regular dialog.

If there a way to force the schedule view to refresh? When ever we change an appointment in code it is not reflected on the timeline unless the user is interacting with the timeline.

Hello Josh,

In general setting EditAppointmentDialogStyle property of the ScheduleView should set the EditAppointmentDialog to be the customized one.  We're not aware of any issues with this approach, it is explained in this help article and demonstrated in ScheduleView Custom Appointment and Validation online example at WPF Demos.

In order to edit the appointments in the code, you should use the approach described in this help topic.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

We have been able to update the timeline using the commit and that works great. However we still can not get our custom dialogs to work correctly. the standard appointment dialog always displays.

 We are doing the following:

private void RadScheduleView_ShowDialog(object sender, Telerik.Windows.Controls.ShowDialogEventArgs e)
       {
           if (e.DialogViewModel is AppointmentDialogViewModel)
           {

               try
               {
                   if (((AppointmentDialogViewModel)e.DialogViewModel).Occurrence.Appointment is EventViewModel)
                   {
                       if (eventsTimeline.BeginEdit(((AppointmentDialogViewModel)e.DialogViewModel).Occurrence.Appointment))
                       {
                           EventType et = (EventType)Enum.Parse(typeof(EventType), ((AppointmentDialogViewModel)e.DialogViewModel).Occurrence.Appointment.Resources[0].ToString());
                           DisplayEventEditingWindow(et, ((EventViewModel)((AppointmentDialogViewModel)e.DialogViewModel).Occurrence.Appointment).Event);

                       }
                   }
               }
               catch (NullReferenceException)
               {


               }
           }
       }
