Hi johnathan,

Could you please tell us under which browser you spotted this bug and possibly attach a screenshot?
Under Firefox, IE7 and IE8 the demo is fine.

Thank you in advance,

Hi,

Did you fix this yet? Or when do you fix it? 

I need the backgrounds for my own project and I can see that it still remove the backgrounds on mouseover.

Thanks
Rune

Hi Rune,

The described in this thread behavior can easily be fixed by modifying the AppointmentDataBound event handler in the following way:

    protected void RadScheduler1_AppointmentDataBound(object sender, SchedulerEventArgs e)
    {
       RadCalendarDay radCalendarDay = new RadCalendarDay(RadCalendar1);
        radCalendarDay.Date = e.Appointment.Start;
        radCalendarDay.IsSelected = true;
        RadCalendar1.SpecialDays.Clear();

        ...
    }

I am also attaching a modification of the demo implementing this. I hope you will find it useful.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. You're right, that did fix the problem.

But I can see that it did not fix all of my problem.
I am running the below code on the RadCalendars OnDayRender

Putting in the code you gave me just changes the class of the td to rcSelected and removes my backcolor. What is the point of having the option to set the bgcolor when the clientside script just removes it?

What can I do?

protected void CustomizeDay( object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.Calendar.DayRenderEventArgs e ) {
  DateTime CurrentDate = e.Day.Date;
  HourkidSimpleAppointment app = HourkidAppointment.DateHasAppointments( CurrentDate );
  if( app != null ) {
    TableCell currentCell = e.Cell;
    e.Cell.BackColor = Utils.HexStringToColor( app.ColorHex );
    currentCell.CssClass = "hasAppointment";
  }
}

Thanks
Rune

Hello Rune,

A current limitation of the RadCalendar is that it does not allow having different styles for selected special and selected non-special dates.

Please excuse us for any inconveniences this might cause.
