How to add custom data to TKCalendarEvent/TkCalendarEventProtocol

[Tracy]

I am using the inline events feature with the monthPresenter(presenter: TKCalendarMonthPresenter, inlineEventSelected event: TKCalendarEventProtocol), but i need to be able to store additional information about each event so I can retrieve the event in this event when it is fired.

How can I add more date to the TKCalendarEvent/TKCalendarEventProtocol?

Hi Tracy,

I had the same problem. I've created my own version of the TKCalendarEvent class (created new class that inherits from it), and I've added there new properties. I've actually created several different new classes each for specific type of event. Then, objects of the new classes were returned by the data source:

public override TKCalendarEventProtocol[] EventsForDate(TKCalendar calendar, NSDate date)

{

      return new [] { new MyNewCalendarEvent(...), ... };

}

I hope this helps.

Hi Wojtek,

Thank you so much for your help!

I created a new class called CalEventTK that inherits from TKCalendarEvent and added a new property.

I can't figure out the correct syntax to override the TKCalendarEventProtocol like you have in your example and how the actual event should be structured.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi, Tracy,

Thank you for writing.

As Wojciech mentioned the correct way to achieve this scenario is to subclass TKCalendarEvent and add additional properties. Then you could use TKCalendarDataSource to populate the calendar with your custom events. An example can be found in our documentation.

I hope this helps.
