[Solved] Adding more features to the RadScheduler

[developer]

My task is to add more features to the RadScheduler. I've recurring appointment with lots of users associated with one appointment. I want to show only the users associated to the appointment not everything from the database. Can you send me examples of the code of my particular instance - of how to display all users responsible for the appointment under More Details option. Next I want to display another information from the database in a textbox(right now it displays all the records, not just the information related to the appointment, as a drop-down of all the values in the database even those not related to the appointment).

Hello,

If I understand you correctly, you want to display a read-only list of the associated users for the appointment. We can do this by handling the FormCreating event and hiding the unused resources by setting their Available property:

protected void RadScheduler1_FormCreating(object sender, SchedulerFormCreatingEventArgs e)
{
    foreach (Resource res in RadScheduler1.Resources)
    {
        res.Available = e.Appointment.Resources.Contains(res);
    }
}

This will only hide the unused resources, but it will not make the list read-only. If this is your true intention, we will send you the code to make it read-only.

Regarding the second problem, you can use custom attributes, as described in this help topic. This will give you the opportunity to edit some of the database columns in free-form text boxes. Again, let us know if this is your true intention.

Best wishes,

The following is my problem
I've the list of all users in my database with a chekbox in front of each name

<

telerik:ResourceType KeyField="usrID" Name="Users" TextField="UserName" ForeignKeyField="ID" DataSourceID="dsUsers" AllowMultipleValues="true" />

My task is to list all users when i click on an appointment and the specific users associated to the appointment should've a tick in it's checkbox.
  So in  RadScheduler1_FormCreated class, I'm retrieving all the users from the database table for a specific apppointment and trying to compare with the whole list of users in the Resource, to get the tick in front of it's respective checkbox

CheckBoxList

users = (CheckBoxList)e.Container.FindControl("Users"); // trying to get the resource checkboxlist
if (dtUsers.Rows.Count > 0)  // where dtUsers is the set of DataTable with users related to the appointment
{
    foreach (Resource resuser in RadScheduler1.Resources.GetResourcesByType("Users")){

        foreach (DataRow drcRow in dtUsers.Rows){

Int32 intusrID = Includes.Database.ConvertSQLInt32OK(drcRow["cusUser_usrID"]);

ListItem listitem1 = users.Items.FindByValue("usrID");

if (intusrID == Includes.Database.ConvertSQLInt32OK(resuser.Key))

listitem1.Selected =

true;
        }
    }
}

Hello,

Thank for clarifying further what your goal is. I suggest you review the Multiple Resource Values as it looks like this is exactly what you need. I hope I am not missing something.


All the best,
