Show AppointmentDialogWindow manually

[NickName]

How can I show AppointmentDialogWindow manually? For now I can do it nly throught double clicking on time slot. But what if I want to show it by clicking on my custom button?

thank you.

Hello,

You can use CreateAppointment command in order to show the EditAppointmentDialog:

var newApp = new Appointment()
{
      Start = DateTime.Now,
      End = DateTime.Now.AddHours(2)
};
RadScheduleViewCommands.CreateAppointment.Execute(newApp,ScheduleView);

Hope this helps.

All the best,

Doesn`t work :(

public partial class MainPage : UserControl, INotifyPropertyChanged

    {

        private ObservableCollection<IAppointment> appointments;




        /// <summary>

        /// Initializes a new instance of the <see cref="MainPage"/> class.

        /// </summary>

        public MainPage()

        {

            InitializeComponent();




            this.Appointments = new ObservableCollection<IAppointment>();




            this.Loaded += this.MainPage_Loaded;

        }




        private void MainPage_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

        {

            this.LayoutRoot.DataContext = this;




            this.Appointments.Clear();




            var apps = DataProvider.GetAppointments();

            foreach (var appointment in apps)

            {

                this.Appointments.Add(appointment);

            }

        }




        public ObservableCollection<IAppointment> Appointments

        {

            get

            {

                return this.appointments;

            }




            set

            {

                this.appointments = value;




                if (this.PropertyChanged != null)

                {

                    this.PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs("Appointments"));

                }

            }

        }




        public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;




        private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

        {

            var newApp = new Appointment

            {

                Start = DateTime.Now,

                End = DateTime.Now.AddHours(2)

            };




            RadScheduleViewCommands.CreateAppointment.Execute(newApp, appointmentScheduleView);

        }

    }

Any body ???
I can not believe that there is no opportunity to raise the dialog box itself. The previous solution does not work.

Thank you.

Hello,

The problem in your code is that AppointmentsSource property is bound to ObservableCollection<IAppointment> while it should be ObservableCollection<Appointment> in order to work correctly.

I've attached a simple project based on your code, please download it and try it.

Hi,

Rather than using an arbitrarily-assigned Start and End time, how can I check the selected range the user has selected on the grid using his or her mouse and set default values like the Start date, End date and any Resources in the dialog window?

[Valeri Hristov]

Hi David,

You could use the RadScheduleView.SelectedSlot property - it contains all needed information: Start, End, Resources and RecurrencePattern.

Is there any way to use the ObservableCollection<IAppointment> (interface) instead of ObservableCollection<Appointment> (implementation)?
I am using a custom appointment, and need to use its interface in order to decouple my application.

Hi Christian,

If you're using ObservableCollection<IAppointment> for the AppointmentsSource of the ScheduleView, you will not be able to create new appointments with double-click on an empty slot ( as the ScheduleView does not know their type).
