Disable TimeZone on RadSchedulerNavigator

[Dario]

Hi guys,

I would disable a ComboBox that shows all TimeZones, I would set local time and prohibit to change it.

How can I do?

I attached print screen

Hello Dario,

Thank you for writing.

You can hide the TimeZones option in RadSchedulerNavigator by setting the SchedulerNavigatorElement.TimeZonesDropDown.Visibility:

this.radSchedulerNavigator1.SchedulerNavigatorElement.TimeZonesDropDown.Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Collapsed;

I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions, I would be glad to help.

Ok, but how can I set local time?

Hello Dario,

Thank you for writing back.

You can refer to our Demo application >> Scheduler >> Time Zones example. Additionally, the Time Zones help article is quite useful on this topic.

I hope this information helps. If you have any additional questions, please let me know.

I have already read the article, but when I set my TimeZone in this mode, when I view the Scheduler with SchedulerNavigator appears (in the dropdown) always UTC, my configuration has no effect. Why?

SchedulerTimeZone utcTimeZone = new SchedulerTimeZone(59, "UTC +1");
this.radScheduler1.SystemTimeZone = utcTimeZone;

I forgot, I read http://www.telerik.com/help/winforms/scheduler-views-time-zones.html, but in related video I'm not found nothing video tutorial about Scheduler and TimeZone.

Hello Dario,

Thank you for writing back.

You should set the DefaultTimeZone property instead. However, the SchedulerNavigatorElement.TimeZonesDropDown is bound to the returned collection by the SchedulerTimeZone.GetSchedulerTimeZones() method. When you create a new SchedulerTimeZone, note that this is not present in the SchedulerNavigatorElement.TimeZonesDropDown.DataSource. Hence, the SchedulerNavigatorElement.TimeZonesDropDown.SelectedValue property will not be changed when the AssociatedScheduler.ActiveView.DefaultTimeZone is changed to your new time zone. I would recommend you to iterate the result collection from the SchedulerTimeZone.GetSchedulerTimeZones() method and find the desired time zone. Then, assign it to RadScheduler.DefaultTimeZone property. Thus, the navigator will be updated.

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.radSchedulerNavigator1.AssociatedScheduler = this.radScheduler1;
    SchedulerTimeZone londonTimeZone = GetSpecificTimeZone("London", "London");
    this.radScheduler1.ActiveView.DefaultTimeZone = londonTimeZone;
}

private SchedulerTimeZone GetSpecificTimeZone(string timeZoneLabel, string schedulerLabel)
{
    foreach (SchedulerTimeZone tz in SchedulerTimeZone.GetSchedulerTimeZones())
    {
        if (tz.Label.Contains(timeZoneLabel))
        {
            tz.Label = schedulerLabel;
            return tz;
        }
    }

    return null;
}

While working on your case, I have encountered a problem and logged it in our feedback portal. You can track its progress, subscribe for status changes and add your vote/comment to it on the following link - feedback item.

I have also updated your Telerik points.

As to the video about the TimeZones in RadScheduler, I would like to note that currently we are migrating all videos to http://www.telerik.com/videos/winforms and the process is not over yet. 

I hope this information helps. If you have any additional questions, please let me know.
