I literally just got a answer for this from my telerik support ticket.

You need to implement your own SchedulerEditManager like follows:

class MySchedulerEditManager : SchedulerEditManager {
    public MySchedulerEditManager(RadSchedulerElement element) : base(element) { }

    public override bool BeginInlineEdit() {
        SchedulerVisualElement sve = this.SchedulerElement.ViewElement;

        if (sve is SchedulerDayViewGroupedByResourceElement) {
            foreach (SchedulerDayViewElement dv in ((SchedulerDayViewGroupedByResourceElement)sve).GetDayViewElements()) {
                dv.View.UpdateAppointments(this.SchedulerElement.Scheduler.Appointments);
            }
        } else if (sve is SchedulerMonthViewGroupedByResourceElement) {
            foreach (SchedulerMonthViewElement mv in ((SchedulerMonthViewGroupedByResourceElement)sve).GetMonthViewElements()) {
                mv.View.UpdateAppointments(this.SchedulerElement.Scheduler.Appointments);

                FieldInfo fi = mv.MonthViewAreaElement.GetType().GetField("appointments", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
                List<AppointmentElement> appointments = (List<AppointmentElement>)fi.GetValue(mv.MonthViewAreaElement);
                for (int i = appointments.Count - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
                    if (!mv.View.Appointments.Contains(appointments[i].Appointment)) {
                        appointments.RemoveAt(i);
                    }
                }
            }
        }

        return false;
    }
}

then attached your class to the Scheduler.

this.RadScheduler1.SchedulerElement.EditorManager = new MySchedulerEditManager(this.RadScheduler1.SchedulerElement);

you may have to modify/extend this class, as I use groupmode = resource exclusively, and dont have to check for

SchedulerDayView, SchedulerWeekView, etc...

hope that helps.

that doesnt work for me. i always get a nullreference exception ;( even when i remove all your code except the constructor.

[Sean Overman]

are you passing an instance of the schedulerelement to the cotr?

this.RadScheduler1.SchedulerElement.EditorManager = new MySchedulerEditManager(this.RadScheduler1.SchedulerElement);

[Patrick]

yes i did :)
even if i haven't passed it. why should i get a nullpointer exception? :)

Hello Patrick,

Thank you for writing.

Currently, there is no property that allows for stopping the inline editor. However, such a feature was already requested in this PITS item. Feel free to add your vote to this request as well.

Meanwhile, to stop the inline editors, you have to override the SchedulerEditManager, and override the BeginInlineEdit method. Using this approach, appointments will not be created when starting to type in the scheduler cells, but the selection will be lost. However, we are planning to improve this functionality in one of the next releases. Here is the implementation needed to achieve this functionality: 

public Form1()
       {
           InitializeComponent();
           radScheduler1.SchedulerElement.EditorManager = new MySchedulerEditManager(radScheduler1.SchedulerElement);
       }

       class MySchedulerEditManager : SchedulerEditManager
       {
           public MySchedulerEditManager(RadSchedulerElement element) : base(element) { }

           public override bool BeginInlineEdit()
           {
               this.SchedulerElement.View.UpdateAppointments(this.SchedulerElement.Scheduler.Appointments);
               return false;
           }
       }

I hope that you find the provided information helpful. Should you have any other questions, do not hesitate to contact us.

Maybe i'm missing something too but, do you mean  public SchedulerEditManager editManager { get; set; } ?
This works as expected for me, but the property 'EditorManager' just gives me null pointer issues like doesn't exist in the dll or something..
Maybe i've got an old version or something?

Hi Marty,

The provided code is for Q1 2011 SP1. Please make sure that you are using this version and the code will work correctly. Let me know whether it works for you.
