Appointments 30mins or less

[Marcus]

I'm trying out the scheduler component, and I will need to default to having appointments as multiples of 30 minutes.

The way I think I should be doing this is

SchedulerDayView view = radScheduler1.GetDayView();
view.RangeFactor = ScaleRange.HalfHour;

But when I do that, and then try to create appointments, the start and finish time boxes are greyed out and the appointments always end up being all day appointments.

I am using a custom Appointment type and custom EditAppointmentDialog, but everything is working fine for me until I set the RangeFactor.

I'm using 2009 Q2 SP1.

Can anyone give me any hints as to why this would not work?

Thanks,

Marcus.

This appears to be a bug in the Telerik Scheduler, as the same problem exists in the demo application that comes with the tools.  Doh!

It works OK as long as the appointments are at least an hour, so it's probably not to do with the ScaleRange, but appointment duration.

Is this a known bug?

Does anyone know if this is going to be fixed some time soon?

Thanks,

Marcus.

Hello,

This is a major issue for us, since most of our scheduled appointments are 30 minutes. We require the SP1 release in order to use some RadDock functions that were not working in 2009 Q2 base. How long will it be before we can get a fix?

Edit: I have come up with a workaround which involves setting the chkAllDayEvent checkbox to unchecked by default. Apparently it was being checked with the 1/2 hour or less events. I imagine this was caused by that other thread where the person complained about 23.5 hour events getting all day status ;-)
