Hello Vee Tian,

Thank you for your question.

Yes, it is possible to implement search function. You should override the RadSchedulerNavigator class and add the search logic to it. Here is an example of how this could be achieved:

public class MySchedulerNavigator : RadSchedulerNavigator
{
    private RadTextBox searchTextBox;

    public MySchedulerNavigator() : base()
    {
        searchTextBox = new RadTextBox();
        searchTextBox.Size = new Size(200, 20);
        searchTextBox.Location = new Point(400, 42);

        this.Controls.Add(this.searchTextBox);

        this.searchTextBox.KeyDown += new KeyEventHandler(searchTextBox_KeyDown);
    }

    void searchTextBox_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter)
        {
            FindAppointment();
        }
    }

    void FindAppointment()
    {
        foreach (Appointment app in this.AssociatedScheduler.Appointments)
        {
            if (app.Subject.Contains(this.searchTextBox.Text))
            {
                this.AssociatedScheduler.ActiveView.StartDate = app.Start;
                this.AssociatedScheduler.SchedulerElement.InvalidateMeasure(true);
                SchedulerUIHelper.SelectAppointment(this.AssociatedScheduler, app, true);


                break;
            }
        }

    }

    public override string ThemeClassName
    {
        get
        {
            return typeof(RadSchedulerNavigator).FullName;
        }
        set
        {
            base.ThemeClassName = value;
        }
    }
}

Currently, we do not have plans to implement built-in search functionality in RadSchedulerNavigator since you are the first one to request it. If more people request such functionality, I will log it as a feature request in our Public Issue Tracking System and we will consider implementing it in a future release.

Should you have any additional questions, do not hesitate to contact me.

Best wishes,

i think it would be a nice feature to have, never thought of it but it would be similar to the functionality other calendar apps (outlook, Mail in MacOS, etc) have
