Changing text in radscheduler print

[JJ]

I am starting to use the radscheduler for one of my company's project.  I would like to change the text in the print for the appointment. I tried to change the appointment.text in the event CellPrintElementFormating without any success.  Is there a way to accomplish it?

Thanks
JJ

Hello JJ,

Thank you for writing.

Not being able to change the appointments' text in the AppointmentPrintElementFormatting event is a known limitation and it will be improved with the next official release. For the time being, you can print custom text in your appointments by using the following approach:

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    this.radScheduler1.AppointmentPrintElementFormatting += new PrintAppointmentEventHandler(radScheduler1_AppointmentPrintElementFormatting);
    this.radScheduler1.AppointmentPrintElementPaint += new PrintAppointmentPaintEventHandler(radScheduler1_AppointmentPrintElementPaint);
}

void radScheduler1_AppointmentPrintElementPaint(object sender, PrintAppointmentPaintEventArgs e)
{
    Rectangle rect = e.Bounds;
    rect.Offset(e.AppointmentElement.StatusAreaWidth, 0);
    rect.Width -= e.AppointmentElement.StatusAreaWidth;

    string text = "The summary is " + e.AppointmentElement.Appointment.Summary;
    using(Brush brush = new SolidBrush(e.AppointmentElement.ForeColor))
    {
        e.Graphics.DrawString(text, e.AppointmentElement.Font, brush, rect);
    }
}

void radScheduler1_AppointmentPrintElementFormatting(object sender, PrintAppointmentEventArgs e)
{
    e.AppointmentElement.DrawText = false;
}

I hope you find this useful. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.
