Getting Selected Time

[Phillip Foster]

Hi!

I am new to RadTools, so feel free to laugh. I am using the RadScheduler, however I don't want to use the context menu for adding a new appointment. I would just like to be able to highlight the area and double click (or another shortcut key).   I cannot seem to figure out how to get the highlighted time slot to save the appointment. 

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Hi Phillip Foster,

Yes, this is a feature that our scheduler does not support yet. However if you double-click a cell the edit-appointment dialog will open and you can enter the needed information. This dialog allows you to create/edit appointments in RadScheduler.

We are considering the addition of this Outlook feature, including in-line appointment creation and editing, which will allow you to do this.

If you need more information, do not hesitate to write us. 

All the best,

I noticed that the drag and drop example is similar to what i want. When i check that handler it uses the drageventargs and those hold the point of the element, however the mouse points are different when using that same cell. is there a way to apply this type of method for this:

 Point point = this.radScheduler1.PointToClient(new Point(e.X, e.Y));

            DayViewAppointmentsTable table = (this.radScheduler1.SchedulerElement.ViewElement as SchedulerDayViewElement).DataAreaElement.Table;
            SchedulerCellElement schedulerCell = SchedulerUIHelper.GetCellAtPoint(point, table.Children);

Thanks!

Hello Phillip Foster,

The code in the drag and drop example takes the cell which the mouse points to. I am not sure that this will help you. We already have API to get the selected nodes, but we do not have the functionality to select a cell through the API. Could you give us more details of your whole scenario so that I can try to give you a solution?

In this scenario, the user would highlight the given cells. I would like for them to be able to just hit a shortcut or a button and save that appointment. I don't to make the user type in all the new appointment data because they will be doing thousands and it will all be the same except for the slot and 1 field. The field however is already known at this point in the process.

So basically I want to be able to see what the start and end time is of the highlighted portion on the scheduler.

Hello Phillip Foster,

It seems that If I understand your task you want to create appointment as you click in the scheduler or select a cells and create an appointment for the selected dates/times. In this case you should do the following:

1. Subscribe for the ContextMenuShowing event in order to stop showing the context menu:
 

void radScheduler1_ContextMenuShowing(object sender, SchedulerContextMenuShowingEventArgs e)
{
    e.ContextMenu = null;
}

 
2. Subscribe for the AppointmentEditDialogShowing event in order to stop showing the EditAppointmentDialog:
 

void radScheduler1_AppointmentEditDialogShowing(object sender, AppointmentEditDialogShowingEventArgs e)
{
    e.AppointmentEditDialog = null;
}

 
3. Subscribe for the DoubleClick event of the scheduler - here you can create an appointment for the selection (start-end times):
 

void radScheduler1_DoubleClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    DateTime[] dates = SchedulerUIHelper.GetSelectedDates(this.radScheduler1);
    List<DateTime> dts = new List<DateTime>(dates);
    dts.Sort();

    SchedulerDayViewBase dayView = this.radScheduler1.ActiveView as SchedulerDayViewBase;
    int minutes = 0;
    if (dayView != null)
    {
        minutes = (int)dayView.RangeFactor;
    }

    Appointment appointment = new Appointment(dts[0], dts[dts.Count - 1].AddMinutes(minutes));
    this.radScheduler1.Appointments.Add(appointment);
}

 
You could use that code to create an appointment when you click some button.

I hope this will help you achieve what you need. Feel free to contact us in case you need further assistance.
