Is it possible to replace appointment dialog with a message box??

[Anoop]

 Is it possible to add for example a message box or another window when we click on the appointment box?

I mean instead of the appointment dialog I want to view another window or message box.

 

PS: I do not mean custom appointment dialog

 

Thanks in advance

Hi Anoop,

Thank you for your question.

Yes, this is possible. In order to achieve this, you should subscribe to the scheduler's AppointmentEditDialogShowing event, cancel the original dialog's opening and show your message box. The following code snippet demonstrates this:

void radScheduler1_AppointmentEditDialogShowing(object sender, AppointmentEditDialogShowingEventArgs e)
{
    List<SchedulerCellElement> cells = SchedulerUIHelper.GetSelectedCells(this.radScheduler1);
    if (cells.Count == 0)
        return;
    DialogResult result = MessageBox.Show("Are you sure want to add an appointment?", "Question", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo);
    if (result == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Yes)
    {
        Appointment appointment = new Appointment(cells[0].Date, cells[cells.Count - 1].Date.AddHours(1), "New Appointment");
        this.radScheduler1.Appointments.Add(appointment);
    }

    e.Cancel = true;
}

I hope this helps. If you have any additional questions, do not hesitate to contact me.

Instead of the message box when I need to add my own form, how can I add it in message box way

[Anoop]

I wanna add my own form or dialog to view the data of each appointment differently according to its category.

 

For example see the attached picture just sample.

Hi Anoop,

You can get information about the selected appointment from the event args:

void radScheduler1_AppointmentEditDialogShowing(object sender, AppointmentEditDialogShowingEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Appointment != null && this.radScheduler1.Appointments.Contains(e.Appointment))
    {
        MessageBox.Show("Editing appointment: " + e.Appointment.Summary + " " + e.Appointment.Start + " - " + e.Appointment.End);
        e.Cancel = true;
    }
}

If there is a selected appointment, e.Appointment it. Otherwise, it contains a temporary appointment that is created according to the selected cells. To understand whether we are creating a new appointment or editing an existing one, we can check if the Appointments collection of our scheduler contains e.Appointment.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask if you have any additional questions.
