    I have a scheduler with the following code for moveEnd

    moveEnd: function (e) {
        //For Work Managers this code will give the option to clone or move when an event is moved.
       if ($WorkManager == 'true') {
              e.preventDefault();
              eventHolder = e;
              var dialog = $("#schedulerWindow").data("kendoWindow");
              dialog.center();
              dialog.open();
         }
    },

     

    The dialog has just two buttons CLONE which has an onclick function of onClone() and MOVE which has an onclick function of onMove(). These functions are listed below.

    function onClone() {
            var dialog = $("#schedulerWindow").data("kendoWindow");
            var scheduler = $("#scheduler").data("kendoScheduler");
            dialog.close();
            var copy = eventHolder.event.toJSON();
            copy.start = eventHolder.start;
            copy.end = eventHolder.end;
            copy.RID = -1;
            delete copy.uid;
     
            scheduler.dataSource.add(copy);
            scheduler.dataSource.sync();
            eventHolder = null;
        }
     
        function onMove() {
            var dialog = $("#schedulerWindow").data("kendoWindow");
            var scheduler = $("#scheduler").data("kendoScheduler");
            dialog.close();
            eventHolder.event.set("start", eventHolder.start);
            eventHolder.event.set("end", eventHolder.end);
            scheduler.dataSource.sync();
            eventHolder = null;
        }

     

    This was fine when you could only select one event at a time. The latest version of the code will allow the use of Ctrl Click to select several events

    If I select several events and try and clone or move only the last clicked event is cloned/moved. What changes to the Clone and Move functions do I need to make for this to work with one or more selected events.

    Thanks

    Hello Jon,

    As the offset of all selected and moved / cloned events will be the same, I would suggest you to get that offset in the moveEnd event and store it. Also, in the same event handler you could retrieve the currently selected events:
    var selected;
    var draggedDifference = 0;
    ...
      
    moveEnd: function (e) {
        //For Work Managers this code will give the option to clone or move when an event is moved.
       if ($WorkManager == 'true') {
              e.preventDefault();
      
              var draggedEvent = e.event;
              draggedDifference = e.start - draggedEvent.start;
              selected = e.sender.select().events;
      
              var dialog = $("#schedulerWindow").data("kendoWindow");
              dialog.center();
              dialog.open();
         }
    },

    Then in the onClone or onMove handlers you will need to iterate over all selected events and apply the draggedDifference stored previously:
    function onClone() {
      var dialog = $("#schedulerWindow").data("kendoWindow");
      var scheduler = $("#scheduler").data("kendoScheduler");
      dialog.close();
       
      for(var i = 0; i < selected.length; i++) {
        var currentEvent = selected[i];
        var copy = currentEvent.toJSON();
     
        copy.start = new Date(copy.start.getTime() + draggedDifference);
        copy.end = new Date(copy.end.getTime() + draggedDifference);
        copy.RID = -1;
        delete copy.uid;
        scheduler.dataSource.add(copy);
      }
       
      selected = null;
      draggedDifference = 0;
      scheduler.dataSource.sync();
    }
     
    function onMove() {
      var dialog = $("#schedulerWindow").data("kendoWindow");
      var scheduler = $("#scheduler").data("kendoScheduler");
      dialog.close();
       
      for(var i = 0; i < selected.length; i++) {
        var currentEvent = selected[i];
         
        currentEvent.set("start", new Date(currentEvent.start.getTime() + draggedDifference));
        currentEvent.set("end", new Date(currentEvent.end.getTime() + draggedDifference));
      }
       
      selected = null;
      draggedDifference = 0;
      scheduler.dataSource.sync();
    }

    Veselin,

    Many thanks... your code worked great albeit just a small typo... in the clone function the start and end time need updating as so:

    copy.start = new Date(copy.start.getTime() + draggedDifference);
    copy.end = new Date(copy.start.getTime() + draggedDifference);
     
    changed to:
     
    copy.start = new Date(copy.start.getTime() + draggedDifference);
    copy.end = new Date(copy.end.getTime() + draggedDifference);

     

    Regards

    Hello Jon,

    Thank you for the note on the example issue. I will alter my original post so it shows the proper implementation, that you have shared.
