Clicking the All Day row in Scheduler indicator?

[vincent]

I have a custom form to add appointments.  When I click on the Scheduler's All day row, I need some type of flag to know that the user clicked this row so I can create an All Day appointment.  What indicates this?

Thanks.

Hi Vincent,

You can check whether the appointment is created for all day by inspecting the args.get_isAllDay() in OnClientAppointmentInserting event of RadScheduler.

JavaScript:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function OnClientAppointmentInserting(sender, args) {
        var isAllDay = args.get_isAllDay();
        alert(isAllDay);
    }
</script>

Feel free to share the comments,

I apologize if this message is misplaced in this forum item, but it seems related.  I further apologize if this already exists somewhere in the Forums, and I failed to find it.

I am trying to send the user to an external page to create a new appointment (writing to a custom data source with its own idiosyncratic design...i.e., I cannot use Telerik's own Add/Edit appointment setup) using the OnClientTimeSlotClick client-side event and using the eventArgs.get_Time() function to send the selected time along to the other page.

So far, it is working wonderfully, except for one logical issue.

The documentation I downloaded indicated that "This event is not raised if the user clicks on the all-day row."  However, the event is raised when I click on the All Day row.

So now I have a problem.  Whether the user (in day view) clicks on the midnight time slot or on the all day slot, the time string that is passed along is exactly the same.  Furthermore, this particular event has no method like get_isAllDay() that I can find.

The practical downside is minimal, since I do not anticipate too many midnight-hour appointments being created, but I wanted to raise this issue for two reasons:

(1) Your software is behaving in a way that contradicts your documentation, something about which I assume you would want to know.
(2) I'd rather not have a known quirk/bug/issue (however minor) left unaddressed in my code.

Thank you for your help.  I have enjoyed working with your software; it is a wonderful package.

Hi JSCmt,

Thank you for your feedback. I just checked the online documentation and it seems fine. I will investigate why there is discrepancy with the downloadable version of the help.

As for your question, you can use the following check when handling OnClientTimeSlotClick:

function OnClientTimeSlotClick(sender, eventArgs) {
           if (eventArgs.get_targetSlot().get_isAllDay())
               alert("all-day row was clicked");
           else
               alert(eventArgs.get_time());
       }
