How can i alert users if any user try to add new appointment in readonly slot ?

[palak]

Hello guys,

I've made all existing appointment's timeslots as READONLY because i don't want user to register any appointment in the same timespan. So now when any user try to add appointment in that timespan via changing start time/end time in edit appointment dialog window, no appointment is able to add in that timespan, but users don't come to know what was the problem, so i want to alert users the message like "that there is already appointment added in this timespan, please try later "

Kindly share your knowledge.

thanks & regards

Hello Palak,

I can suggest you to hook to the AppointmentEditing event and check in which TimeSlot is the appointment. And if it is in a ReadOnly TimeSlot to Cancel either the AppointmentEditing or the ShowDialog event. You can even display your own message that the appointment cannot be edited.
Other option is to make the Appointments itself read only. You can create a CustomAppointment with IsReadOnly property. You can also create a custom AppointmentTemplate for the appointments

Hope this information helps.

Hi Konstantina,

Thanks for respond, but you might have read my problem definition as i already built specific timeslots as READONLY. but my concern is, when user try to create new appointment via other timespan, and change starttime, and endtime which is READONLY timeslot, so scheduleview right now is not creating appointment, but also user don't come to know why it was not created, so at this time, i want to show message to users that they tried to create appointment on READONLY timeslots. Getting ??

You can also check online demo of scheduleview readonlyslots feature, and try to create appointment ,and give timeslots(starttime and endtime) of any READONLY slot, its not giving any kind of alert/message to users about this.

Hi Palak,

Unfortunately, this is not possible with the current implementation of the ScheduleView control.
Sorry for the caused inconvenience.

All the best,
