Hello Linzi,

Thank you for your question.

It is possible to achieve this by inheriting from a couple of classes. First you need to create a custom YearlyRecurrenceSettings control:

class CustomYearlyRecurrenceControl : YearlyRecurrenceSettings
{
    public CustomYearlyRecurrenceControl()
    {
        this.InitializeComponent();
    }

    private void InitializeComponent()
    {
        ((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)(this.radioDayOfMonth)).BeginInit();
        ((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)(this.radioWeekOfMonth)).BeginInit();
        ((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)(this.comboBoxMonth1)).BeginInit();
        ((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)(this.spinDayNumber)).BeginInit();
        ((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)(this.comboBoxWeekNumber)).BeginInit();
        ((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)(this.comboBoxWeekdays)).BeginInit();
        ((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)(this.labelOfMonth)).BeginInit();
        ((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)(this.comboBoxMonth2)).BeginInit();
        this.SuspendLayout();
        //
        // radioWeekOfMonth
        //
        this.radioWeekOfMonth.Text = "Of";
        //
        // comboBoxMonth1
        //
        //
        //
        //
        this.comboBoxMonth1.RootElement.AutoSizeMode = Telerik.WinControls.RadAutoSizeMode.WrapAroundChildren;
        //
        // spinDayNumber
        //
        //
        //
        //
        this.spinDayNumber.RootElement.AutoSizeMode = Telerik.WinControls.RadAutoSizeMode.WrapAroundChildren;
        //
        // comboBoxWeekNumber
        //
        this.comboBoxWeekNumber.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(171, 36);
        //
        //
        //
        this.comboBoxWeekNumber.RootElement.AutoSizeMode = Telerik.WinControls.RadAutoSizeMode.WrapAroundChildren;
        //
        // comboBoxWeekdays
        //
        this.comboBoxWeekdays.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(264, 36);
        //
        //
        //
        this.comboBoxWeekdays.RootElement.AutoSizeMode = Telerik.WinControls.RadAutoSizeMode.WrapAroundChildren;
        //
        // labelOfMonth
        //
        this.labelOfMonth.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(148, 36);
        this.labelOfMonth.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(22, 16);
        this.labelOfMonth.Text = "the";
        //
        // comboBoxMonth2
        //
        this.comboBoxMonth2.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(55, 36);
        //
        //
        //
        this.comboBoxMonth2.RootElement.AutoSizeMode = Telerik.WinControls.RadAutoSizeMode.WrapAroundChildren;
        //
        // CustomYearlyRecurrenceControl
        //
        this.AutoScaleDimensions = new System.Drawing.SizeF(6F, 13F);
        this.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(80, 40);
        this.Name = "CustomYearlyRecurrenceControl";
        ((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)(this.radioDayOfMonth)).EndInit();
        ((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)(this.radioWeekOfMonth)).EndInit();
        ((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)(this.comboBoxMonth1)).EndInit();
        ((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)(this.spinDayNumber)).EndInit();
        ((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)(this.comboBoxWeekNumber)).EndInit();
        ((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)(this.comboBoxWeekdays)).EndInit();
        ((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)(this.labelOfMonth)).EndInit();
        ((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)(this.comboBoxMonth2)).EndInit();
        this.ResumeLayout(false);
        this.PerformLayout();

    }
}

As you can see there is some automatically generated code in this class. This is because it is possible to use Visual Studio's designer over the custom control if you define it in a separate file. I used the designer to change the places of the controls.

Next, you need to create a custom EditRecurrenceDialog which uses the custom control defined above:

class MyRecurrenceDialog : EditRecurrenceDialog
{
    public MyRecurrenceDialog(IEvent appointment, ISchedulerData schedulerData)
        : base(appointment, schedulerData)
    { }

    protected override void CreateRadioToSettingsDictionary()
    {
        base.CreateRadioToSettingsDictionary();
        this.radioToSettingsDictionary[this.radioYearly] = new CustomYearlyRecurrenceControl();
    }
}

Finally, to put this classes in use, we need to handle the RecurrenceEditDialogShowing event of RadScheduler:

void radScheduler1_RecurrenceEditDialogShowing(object sender, RecurrenceEditDialogShowingEventArgs e)
{
    e.RecurrenceEditDialog = new MyRecurrenceDialog(e.Appointment, this.radScheduler1);
}

I hope you find this useful. Feel free to write back if you have any further questions.

All the best,
