RadScheduler Weekly Print Preview throws run time error - SchedulerWeeklyPrintStyle

[Richard]

Hi There, 

I am getting run time error while previewing the weekly style of RadScheduler. This is happening when I use SchedulerWeeklyPrintSTyle.GroupType = SchedulerPrintGroupType.Resource and changing layout to "2 pages/week". If the layout is "1 page / week", then it is showing the preview as expected.  

Please see the attached Print Setting window to see the settings that throws the run time error.

Hello Richard,

Thank you for writing.

I can confirm that two page printing in grouped by resource mode is not supported in weekly style and I have logged this case in our feedback portal. You can add your vote and subscribe for status notifications here: http://feedback.telerik.com/Project/154/Feedback/Details/114256-fix-radscheduler-argumentoutofrangeexception-is-thrown-when-attempting-to-prin. 

I have updated your Telerik Points for this report. 

Meanwhile, you can modify the print dialog to disallow selecting this option to the user. Here is how this can be done:

protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
{
    base.OnLoad(e);
    AddScheduler();

    radScheduler1.PrintSettingsDialogFactory = new MyFactory();
}

private void radButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    radScheduler1.PrintPreview();
}

class MySchedulerPrintSettingsDialogFactory : SchedulerPrintSettingsDialog
{
    SchedulerPrintStyleSettings userControl;
    RadDropDownList groupBy;
    RadDropDownList twoPagesPerView;
    RadDropDownList printStyle;

    public MySchedulerPrintSettingsDialogFactory(RadPrintDocument document)
        : base(document)  { }

    protected override Control CreateFormatControl()
    {
        userControl = base.CreateFormatControl() as SchedulerPrintStyleSettings;
        RadGroupBox groupBox = userControl.Controls["groupBoxStyleSettings"] as RadGroupBox;

        groupBy = groupBox.Controls["dropDownGroupBy"] as RadDropDownList;
        groupBy.SelectedIndexChanged += groupBy_SelectedIndexChanged;

        twoPagesPerView = groupBox.Controls["dropDownLayout"] as RadDropDownList;
        twoPagesPerView.SelectedIndexChanging += twoPagesPerView_SelectedIndexChanging;

        RadGroupBox groupBoxMain = userControl.Controls["groupBoxPrintStyle"] as RadGroupBox;
        printStyle = groupBoxMain.Controls["dropDownPrintStyle"] as RadDropDownList;
        printStyle.SelectedValueChanged += printStyle_SelectedValueChanged;
        return userControl;
    }

    void printStyle_SelectedValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (printStyle.SelectedItem.Text == "Weekly Style")
        {
            twoPagesPerView.SelectedItem = twoPagesPerView.Items[0];
        }
    }

    void twoPagesPerView_SelectedIndexChanging(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.Data.PositionChangingCancelEventArgs e)
    {
        if (groupBy.SelectedItem.Text == "Resource" && e.Position == 1)
        {
            e.Cancel = true;
            RadMessageBox.Show("Two pages per view is not supported in GroupBy:Resource mode");
        }
    }

    void groupBy_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.Data.PositionChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (groupBy.Items[e.Position].Text == "Resource")
        {
            twoPagesPerView.SelectedItem = twoPagesPerView.Items[0];
        }
    }
}

class MyFactory : IPrintSettingsDialogFactory
{
    public Form CreateDialog(RadPrintDocument document)
    {
        return new MySchedulerPrintSettingsDialogFactory(document);
    }
}

I hope that you find this information useful. Should you have any other questions or suggestions, do not hesitate to contact us.

Hi Stefan, 

Thanks for providing me the fix, but PrintSettingsDialogFactory property is not available with my version. I am using 2013-1-220 build.  I think this is introduced in 2013.3.1328.40 version. We have not yet decided to upgrade the latest one. Is there any other work around for this?

In your post, you have mentioned that my telerik points were updated, but I could not find the same. Could you please check. 

Regards
Richard.

Hello Richard,

The property mentioned was introduced in Q1 2013 SP1 - the very next release after the one you use. Unfortunately, with your version there is no way to use this factory. What you can do is to avoid using these methods of RadScheduler and instead create your own RadPrintDocument, associate it with RadScheduler and pass this document to a dialog of your own to use. This way you will control the printing via this document. 

I hope this helps.

Regards,
Stefan
