How can I stop users amending SOME appointments

[Karl balshaw]

Hi,

I am using the scheduler in TimeLineView and create my appointments programmatically.  I want the users to be able to amend the dates and duration of some of the appointments, but not others.

 

I have set the appointment.AllowEdit to false, but this doesn’t seem to work, as the user can still amend the appointment.

 

Any thoughts or suggestions

Hello Karl,

Thank you for writing.

You can use a custom EditAppointmentDialog which modifies only dates and duration. Please, take a look at the Scheduler >> Binding example in our Examples application. This example demonstrates how to add a custom field in the EditAppointmentDialog. In addition, you can read the available scheduler documentation here.

I hope this helps.

All the best,

Thank you for your response, and I will be using the custom dialog box soon, however, this query was regarding directly amending the appointments.

The user can select an appointment, drag it to another date, or change the duration.

This is functionality I use and like, however, I am also adding appointments for reference, and as such do not want the user to be able to use this functionality.

I have set the AllowEdit to false on the appointment when I create it, but it still can be moved and changed directly (without the use of a dialog).

I hope this clears up my query, thanks ini advance

Hello Karl,

If you want to stop an individual appointment from moving, then you could use the following:

Private Sub RadScheduler1_AppointmentMouseDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As Telerik.WinControls.UI.SchedulerAppointmentMouseEventArgs) Handles RadScheduler1.AppointmentMouseDown
    If e.Appointment.Summary = "Test" Then
        Me.RadScheduler1.AllowAppointmentMove = False
        Me.RadScheduler1.AllowAppointmentResize = False
    Else
        Me.RadScheduler1.AllowAppointmentMove = True
        Me.RadScheduler1.AllowAppointmentResize = True
    End If
End Sub

hope that helps

Hello Karl,

How did you get on with this? If this has helped, may I ask you to mark as answer so others can find the solution too. If you need any other help, just let me know and I'll be happy to assist.

Thanks

Hello,

Thank you for writing.

Richard's solution is correct. You can do just one more thing to optimize the code:

void radScheduler1_AppointmentMouseDown(object sender, SchedulerAppointmentMouseEventArgs e)
{
    this.radScheduler1.AllowAppointmentMove = e.Appointment.AllowEdit;
    this.radScheduler1.AllowAppointmentResize = e.Appointment.AllowEdit;
}

This will avoid the resizing and dragging operations only if the appointment is not editable.
