alldayevent checkbox error

[Nate]

Say I double click when in monthview and I have the scheduler to go to the advanced editor instead of the simple one. This results in a default of "alldayevent" checkbox checked and the start and end times being greyed out. When I try to click the checkbox it throughs a client side javascript error and I am not able to re-enable the time boxes to make it an hour only event.

How can I either repair that functionality or in the codebehind access those other controls to enable them and make it an hour event by default instead of alldayevent?

Thanks

Hello Nate,

Please, try the following solution:

protected void RadScheduler1_FormCreating(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.SchedulerFormCreatingEventArgs e)
    {
        RadScheduler scheduler1 = (RadScheduler)sender;

        if ((scheduler1.SelectedView == SchedulerViewType.MonthView)&(e.Mode == SchedulerFormMode.Insert))
        {
                e.Appointment.Start = e.Appointment.Start.Add(new TimeSpan(8, 0, 0));
                e.Appointment.End = e.Appointment.Start.Add(new TimeSpan(1, 0, 0));
        }
    }

Thanks Peter. That did work.

Probably a basic question but why do you assign the addition back to the instance? 
e.Appointment.Start = e.Appointment.Start.Add(...
doesn't the Add method do that already? What is the basic programming concept there that I am stupid about?
Like wouldn't just doing e.Appointment.Start.Add(...) add to the existing start property?

Thanks.

Hi Nate,

This is just to show that you can specify a default start and end time. In this case, all appointments created in month view will start at 8:00 am and end at 9:00 am. You can easily modify this behavior as per your specific requirement.

I hope this makes it clearer.

I tried converting this to VB:

Protected  Sub RadScheduler1_FormCreating(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.SchedulerFormCreatingEventArgs)
        Dim scheduler1 As RadScheduler = CType(sender, RadScheduler)

        If (scheduler1.SelectedView = SchedulerViewType.MonthView)&(e.Mode = SchedulerFormMode.Insert) Then
                ee.Appointment.Start = e.Appointment.Start.Add(New TimeSpan(8, 0, 0))
                ee.Appointment.End = e.Appointment.Start.Add(New TimeSpan(1, 0, 0))
        End If
End Sub

and then I assigned OnFormCreating="RadScheduler1_FormCreating" in my Scheduler tag.

But I receive an error when I try to add or modify an appointment:

Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerServerErrorException: Conversion from string "TrueTrue" to type 'Boolean' is not valid.

Did I not convert the code properly or is there something else I'm missing? Thanks.

Hello Philip,

The if statement is incorrect, you should use And instead of & (string concatenation):

Protected Sub RadScheduler1_FormCreating(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.SchedulerFormCreatingEventArgs)
    Dim scheduler1 As RadScheduler = DirectCast(sender, RadScheduler)

    If (scheduler1.SelectedView = SchedulerViewType.MonthView) And (e.Mode = SchedulerFormMode.Insert) Then
        e.Appointment.Start = e.Appointment.Start.Add(New TimeSpan(8, 0, 0))
        e.Appointment.[End] = e.Appointment.Start.Add(New TimeSpan(1, 0, 0))
    End If
End Sub

That was it...this works great now for new schedule items.

I do have a question regarding items that were originally setup as All Day items though. If I go into edit them (from any mode...month, day, week) and I uncheck the All Day Event box, the time fields are still greyed out. Also, if I uncheck the All Day Event box and save the schedule, next time I go into the Schedule, the All Day Event box is checked again.

Is there something with the same event or maybe with the OnFormCreated event that I can do to change this behavior? Thanks again guys!

Hello Philip,

We have resolved this problem with the latest service pack which was released last week. Could you please try the latest version of Telerik Web.UI and let us know if the problem still persists?
