Custom Alarm Form for Reminder

[Alex]

I am using Custom Alarm Form for Reminder based on your Examples code.

I would like to change the back color of each item in RadListBox, at creation, depending on some scheduled item properties.

How do I go about it?

If it is not possible to do it with RadListBox, how would I go about using some other control, bind it to the reminder and achieve different back colors?

Thanks,
  Aleksandar

Hi Alex,

Thank you for writing.

You can set the color of the item in RadListBox as shown below:

RadListBoxItem item = this.radListBox1.Items[0] as RadListBoxItem;
item.ItemFill.BackColor = Color.Red;

I hope this will help you.

What if I want to use a custom UserControl instead of RadListBox?

I assume it would need to inherit some other class???

How do I bind it to a reminder, like I do for the RadListBox.

Thanks

Hi Alex,

Thank you for writing.

I am not sure regarding the custom control scenario that you are describing. Please, sent us a sample project which describes it and we will try to find the best option.

Regarding your other questions: You are able to add objects that implement IReminderObject interface to RadReminder control. For more information please check the following help article.

I hope this helps.

Best wishes,

Dear Telerik Team
I have problem to access List view in Alarm form in order to change its font is there any possible way to do that ?

Hello, Aref,    

In fact, RadAlarmForm internally uses a RadGridView to display the upcoming appointments, not a list-view. You can access it by handling the AlarmFormShowing event and accessing the desired control from the Controls collection as it is demonstrated below:

public RadForm1()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    Appointment a = new Appointment(DateTime.Now.AddSeconds(5), TimeSpan.FromMinutes(45), "Lunch");
    a.Reminder = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(3);

    this.radScheduler1.Appointments.Add(a);

    RadReminder reminder = new RadReminder();
    reminder.AddRemindObject(a);
    reminder.TimeInterval = 1000;
    reminder.AlarmFormShowing += reminder_AlarmFormShowing;
    reminder.StartReminder();
}

private void reminder_AlarmFormShowing(object sender, RadAlarmFormShowingEventArgs e)
{
    RadAlarmForm alarmForm = e.AlarmForm as RadAlarmForm;
    RadGridView grid = alarmForm.Controls["radGridViewEvents"] as RadGridView;
    foreach (GridViewRowInfo row in grid.Rows)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(row.Cells[1].Value);
    }
}
