block dates in calendar

[Teja]

Hi,

I am working on Telerik RadScheduler.

I have different sessions called screening, evaluation, discussions and etc....

So depending upon the dates of the above sessions, I have to highlight the calendar in Radscheduler.
All the other dates other than this should be blocked.

For example:
Screening : 2/23/2011 to 3/29/2011
Evaluation :4/12/2011-4/30/2011
Discussions-1/2/2011-1/5/2011.

All the dates other than this should be blocked and not be highlighted to the user.Is there any way to do it?

Hello Teja,

Please take a look at this KB article for how to make appointments visible in the popup calendar of RadScheduler.

Also you can use this KB article for disabling the timeslots per special dates.

Hi Veronica,

I used the code in "Setting special days or time slots in RadScheduler" Article.  However I ran into an issue where the Right click Context menu is disabled for appointments that are in the disabled slots.  I want the Timeslot context menu to be disabled, but the Appointments (that are located in the slot) to still have the context menu.

The problem is the jQuery code that disables the right click menu for appointments and timeslots
$telerik.$(".Disabled").bind("contextmenu", function (e) {

return false;             

        });

Is there a way to cancel the context menu from the OnClientTimeSlotContextMenu event?  I can already successfully check if the slot is enabled or disabled, i just need a command to stop or not display the Timeslot context menu.

Here's my js function

function OnClientTimeSlotContextMenut(sender, eventArgs) {
   if ($telerik.$(obj._domElement).hasClass('disabled_slot')) {
        //Do not show the menu
   }
}

Hi Y,

No, unfortunately there is no way to cancel the OnClientTimeSlotContextMenu event. I'll think of a workaround but I'll need some more time to investigate the issue. 

I'll contact you as soon as I find the solution.

Thank you for your patience.

Hi:

Did you find any solution?

I need to achieve the same that the other user and there is no answer here yet.

Can you please provide a solution!

Hello Felipe,

You can disable the menu for disabled slots like this:

function OnClientTimeSlotContextMenu(sender, args) {
           if ($telerik.$(args.get_targetSlot().get_domElement()).hasClass('disabled_slot')) {
               sender.get_timeSlotContextMenus()[0].disable();
           }
           else {
               sender.get_timeSlotContextMenus()[0].enable();
           }
       }

I hope this is an acceptable alternative.
