How Does Start/End Date Get Set?

[chobo2]

     Hi

I am looking at the scheduler: https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-core/scheduler/index and I am wondering when you double click in a day box (on the month view) a "event" dialog comes up. 

How does the start/end get populated. I understand if I click June 3rd box it will populate it with that date. I am guessing it is using the "DateTimePicker" but I am not sure how the correlation works.

I am after not having the "all day" even being checked and I would like to set a default time to the picker.

Hi Michael,

When you double click a slot in the month view, the Scheduler populates the editor with an AllDay event automatically. It does this internally and there is no configuration option that allows turning on/off this behavior. It is possible to customize this behavior in the Scheduler's Edit event handler.

1. Attach a handler for the "Edit" event.

2. In the handler access the "start" and "end" pickers and set the new time values, as demonstrated in the example below:

function onEdit(e) {
  var isNew = e.event.isNew();
  var viewName = e.sender.viewName();

  if(isNew && viewName=="month") {
    e.event.set("isAllDay", false);
    var startElement = e.container.find("[name=start][data-role=datetimepicker]");
    var endElement = e.container.find("[name=end][data-role=datetimepicker]");
    var startPicker = $(startElement).data("kendoDateTimePicker");
    var endPicker = $(endElement).data("kendoDateTimePicker");
    var startDate = e.event.start;
    var endDate = e.event.end;
    //create new dates based on the default start and end dates:
    var newStartDate = startDate.setHours(startDate.getHours() + 4);
    var newEndDate = endDate.setHours(endDate.getHours() - 18);
    
    //set the new dates:
    startPicker.value(new Date(newStartDate));
    startPicker.trigger("change");
    endPicker.value(new Date(newEndDate));
    endPicker.trigger("change");
  }
}

I hope this example points you in the right direction with regard to implementing the desired behavior.
