[Solved] Context Menu Per Appointment

[Jason]

I have a role based scheduler. Each appointment can either be just viewed or edited and viewed. Is there a way to dynamically create the context menu per event based on a persons security role.

Hi Jason,

Yes, you need to create two appointment context menus:

<AppointmentContextMenus>
           <telerik:RadSchedulerContextMenu runat="server" ID="SchedulerAppointmentContextMenu" >
               <Items>
                   <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Edit" Value="CommandEdit" />
                   <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Delete" Value="CommandDelete" ImageUrl="../App_Themes/delete.gif" />
                   <telerik:RadMenuItem IsSeparator="true">
                   </telerik:RadMenuItem>
                   <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Workflow History" Value="Workflow History" />
                   <telerik:RadMenuItem IsSeparator="true">
                   </telerik:RadMenuItem>
                   <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Audit History" Value="Audit History" />
               </Items>
           </telerik:RadSchedulerContextMenu>
            <telerik:RadSchedulerContextMenu runat="server" ID="SchedulerAppointmentContextMenu1" >
               <Items>

                   <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Delete" Value="CommandDelete" ImageUrl="../App_Themes/delete.gif" />
                   <telerik:RadMenuItem IsSeparator="true">
                   </telerik:RadMenuItem>
                   <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Workflow History" Value="Workflow History" />
                   <telerik:RadMenuItem IsSeparator="true">
                   </telerik:RadMenuItem>
                   <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Audit History" Value="Audit History" />
               </Items>
           </telerik:RadSchedulerContextMenu>
       </AppointmentContextMenus>

And then set the ContextMenuID property of the appointment conditionally:

protected void RadScheduler1_AppointmentDataBound(object sender, SchedulerEventArgs e)
    {

            if (condition1)
            {
                e.Appointment.ContextMenuID = "SchedulerAppointmentContextMenu";
            }
            else if(condition2
            {
                e.Appointment.ContextMenuID = "SchedulerAppointmentContextMenu1";
            }
    }
