[Solved] Changing Appointment Fore Color during runtime

[Hao Zhi]

I am using Vista theme for this RadScheduler. I have the following code which is executed during run-time. But the fore color of the appointment does not change.

 If obj_Appoint.Pax >= FnBDALC.GetDALC.GetFnBOutletThresholdByOutletCode(obj_Appoint.Outlet) Then
               objTelerik_Web_UI_Appointment_ForeColor = Drawing.Color.Red
Else
               objTelerik_Web_UI_Appointment_ForeColor = Drawing.Color.Blue
 End If

Thanks in advance.

Hi Hao Zhi,

As of the Q1 release Appointment.Color property no longer works. Instead we provide CSS classes that can be set to the Appointment.CssClass property. There is going to be a help article on the topic available soon. The currently available CSS classes are:

rsCategoryBlue     
rsCategoryDarkBlue 
rsCategoryDarkGreen 
rsCategoryDarkRed   
rsCategoryGreen    
rsCategoryOrange
rsCategoryPink
rsCategoryRed
rsCategoryViolet
rsCategoryYellow

You can set the latter classes either in AppointmentCreater or AppointmentDataBound events of the RadScheduler Example:

 protected void RadScheduler1_AppointmentDataBound(object sender, SchedulerEventArgs e)
    {
        DayOfWeek day = e.Appointment.Start.DayOfWeek;

        switch (day)
        {
            case DayOfWeek.Monday:
                e.Appointment.CssClass = "rsCategoryRed";
                break;
            case DayOfWeek.Saturday:
                e.Appointment.CssClass = "rsCategoryPink";
                break;
        }
    }

 Protected Sub rdSchedulerLeaveCalendar_AppointmentCreated(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.AppointmentCreatedEventArgs) Handles rdSchedulerLeaveCalendar.AppointmentCreated
    
        Try
                      e.Appointment.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.FromName(dsColor.Tables(0).Rows(0).Item("Color").ToString())
        Catch ex As Exception

        End Try

    End Sub
