hide an appointment

[debbie f]

Is there any possible way to actually hide an appointment on radscheduler?  I am implementing the OnAppointmentCreated event & setting e.Appointment.Visible = false.  I've also tried setting the Container and Container.Parent visibility to false but I still get an empty appointment box drawn on the date.

I need the information of the appointment itself to handle the event OnTimeSlotCreated in which I had an html control to the container depending on the appointment properties.  But I do not want the appointment itself to be visible on the scheduler. 

Is there any way to achieve this?

Hello debbie f,

Toggling the visibility of an Appointment in the AppointmentCreated event handler will not work as there the Appointment is already 'rendered'.

Try setting e.Appointment.Visible to false in the AppointmentDataBound event handler.

Well, it seems that if I set the visibility during DataBound, that actually removes the appointment from the TimeSlot.Appointments list object during OnTimeSlotCreated event.  Is that correct behavior - that the visibility of the appointment during databinding will determine whether it is in the TimeSlot.Appointments list?

I need to the appointment information for logic that is necessary during OnTimeSlotCreated event.

Hello Debbie,

Yes, that is correct, RadScheduler will discard the appointment from the layout if it is invisible. We can probably work out a CSS that will allow you to hide it completely, but there is another problem. The appointment will still be included in the layout and it might affect the size of other appointments, as the scheduler will try to allocate space for it.

My suggestion is to hide the appointment in AppointmentDataBound and to use the RadScheduler API to obtain the information you need - for example RadScheduler.Appointments.GetAppointmentsInRange(), GetAppointmentsStartingInRange, etc.

Is there a quick way to show/hide appointments based on a resource?  ie, show only personal appts and hide all others.

---EDIT:  Never mind...just found the Scheduler/defining resource demo

Any update on how to hide the appointment with CSS? That would work for me. I still need the appointment to be bound as mentioned in the original post above. Just need it hidden completely.

Thanks,
Dan

I did it in AppointmentDataBound and I still was able to run what I needed in TimeSlotCreated. Perhaps this was an issue with an older release.

There is no e.Appointment in AppointmentDataBoundEventHandler ? Has this been updated since 2008?

Hello,

 
You can refer top this on-line demos where is shown how appointments can be hidden in the AppointmentDataBound event depending on their resource.

Hope this will be helpful.

I found AppointmentDataBound was slowing down my processing so I did it with the rest of my logic in AppointmentCreated + CSS

e.Appointment.CssClass = "HideAppointment";

.HideAppointment{   display:none;  }
