Get Appointment's Id in ContextMenu's OnClientItemClicked Event Handler

[Albert]

I am popping up a ContextMenu in the Scheduler's OnClientAppointmentContextMenu event.   Is it possible to get a reference to the client-side appointment object or at least it's Id value during the context menu's OnClientItemClicked event handler.

There is a get_targetElement() method but this returns a reference to the HTML element.  Is there any way to reference the appointment object that was clicked on inside of this event handler?

I'm not sure if this is how you intend it to work but I figured out a workaround.  Please let me know if there is a better way to do this.  I would prefer to get a reference to the appointment right inside the event handler if it is possible.

1. I declared a page level variable named currentAppointment to store the last clicked on appointment object.
2. During the OnClientAppointmentContextMenu event handler I'm setting this variable to eventArgs.get_appointment(). 
3. Then in the OnClientItemClicked Event Handler of the ContextMenu I reference this page level variable.

    var currentAppointment = null;

    function ShowAppointmentContextMenu(sender, eventArgs)
    {
       currentAppointment = eventArgs.get_appointment();
       var menu = $find('<%=AppointmentContextMenu.ClientID %>');
       menu.show(eventArgs.get_domEvent());
    }

    function AppointmentContextMenuItemClicked(sender, eventArgs)
    {
        var apptId = currentAppointment.get_id()
    }

Hi Albert,

That's exactly what I had in mind too. I was going to suggest the same approach but you have already figured it out.
