Hello,

I tried following code in order to customize the TimePicker options in AdvanedInsert and AdvancedEdit form.

C#:

    protected void RadScheduler2_FormCreated(object sender, SchedulerFormCreatedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Container.Mode == SchedulerFormMode.AdvancedEdit || e.Container.Mode == SchedulerFormMode.AdvancedInsert)
        {
            RadTimePicker startPicker = (RadTimePicker)e.Container.FindControl("StartTime");
            startPicker.TimeView.StartTime = TimeSpan.FromHours(0);
            startPicker.TimeView.EndTime = TimeSpan.FromHours(24);
            startPicker.TimeView.DataList.DataSource = null;
            startPicker.TimeView.DataBind();

            RadTimePicker endPicker = (RadTimePicker)e.Container.FindControl("EndTime");
            endPicker.TimeView.StartTime = TimeSpan.FromHours(0);
            endPicker.TimeView.EndTime = TimeSpan.FromHours(24);
            endPicker.TimeView.DataList.DataSource = null;
            endPicker.TimeView.DataBind();
        }
    }

Hope this helps,

hinu.

hi Shinu thank you very much it worked.
Just one additional question: how can I set the default selected time in these 2 RadTimePickers? e.g. the default selected StartTime is 13:00 and the default selected EndTime is 18:00

Hi,

You can set the SelctedDate property of the RadTimePickers as shown below.

C#:

protected void RadScheduler2_FormCreated(object sender, SchedulerFormCreatedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Container.Mode == SchedulerFormMode.AdvancedEdit || e.Container.Mode == SchedulerFormMode.AdvancedInsert)
        {
            RadTimePicker startPicker = (RadTimePicker)e.Container.FindControl("StartTime");
            startPicker.TimeView.StartTime = TimeSpan.FromHours(0);
            startPicker.TimeView.EndTime = TimeSpan.FromHours(24);

            startPicker.SelectedDate = new DateTime(e.Appointment.Start.Year, e.Appointment.Start.Month, e.Appointment.Start.Day, 13, 0, 0);

            startPicker.TimeView.DataList.DataSource = null;
            startPicker.TimeView.DataBind();

            RadTimePicker endPicker = (RadTimePicker)e.Container.FindControl("EndTime");
            endPicker.TimeView.StartTime = TimeSpan.FromHours(0);
            endPicker.TimeView.EndTime = TimeSpan.FromHours(24);

            endPicker.SelectedDate = new DateTime(e.Appointment.End.Year, e.Appointment.End.Month, e.Appointment.End.Day, 18, 0, 0);


            endPicker.TimeView.DataList.DataSource = null;
            endPicker.TimeView.DataBind();
        }
    }

Shinu,
Thanks for this post.  I'm interested in setting a 'default' time frame for appointments. For instance I'd like to have the opening time be at 8am and the ending appt box read +5 hours (1pm).  In addition, if I changed the 8am start time to 9am I'd like the end time to auto-set to +5hrs (2pm).  Before saving the user could set the end date to a shorter or longer appt time.  The purpose is to establish a default appt time frame of 5 hrs.  Anything you could point me to before rewriting what's probably a simple task and done before?  I'm learning the API ;)
Thanks in advance,
Todd

Hi sf,

You can set NumberOfHoveredRows="10" for RadScheduler or you can handle FormCreating like this:

protected void RadScheduler1_FormCreating(object sender, SchedulerFormCreatingEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Mode == SchedulerFormMode.AdvancedInsert || e.Mode == SchedulerFormMode.Insert)
        {
            e.Appointment.End = e.Appointment.Start.AddHours(5);
        }
    }

Kind regards,
