Can I use Appointments and the AppointmentDialog without the ScheduleView?

[LHR]

I am looking to create something where users can setup recurring alerts to remind them of specific tasks, and I was hoping I could use the Appointment and AppointmentDialog to accomplish this.

Do you know if it's possible to use the Appointment and Appointment Dialogs without actually using a ScheduleView? I tried creating and showing a new AppointmentDialog,but it just came up empty.

My other big concern is how I would get the Dates for an Appointment for automated alerts. Is there a way to test if an Appointment lands on a specific date, or to get the Dates from an Appointment?

Thanks

Hi Lhr,

It is not possible to use the appointment dialog without RadScheduleView control itself. You can open the dialog via EditAppointment command,but it expects RadScheduleView as a target:

RadScheduleViewCommands.EditAppointment.Execute( appointment, radScheduleView );

For your last question - you can use the GetOccurences method of appointment to check whether a specific date contains a specific appointment.
