Is there an event in RadScheduler when a user selects a resource?

[Troy]

I'd like to automatically update the description box content based on the resource the user has selected.  I haven't had any luck finding an event to detect when the resource is updated in an appointment.  Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Hello, Troy,

Thank you for clarifying that you want to detect the resource selection changing in the EditAppointmentDialog. Indeed, in this case you will need to follow a different approach: 

            this.radScheduler1.AppointmentEditDialogShowing += radScheduler1_AppointmentEditDialogShowing;

        private void radScheduler1_AppointmentEditDialogShowing(object sender, AppointmentEditDialogShowingEventArgs e)
        {
            EditAppointmentDialog editDialog = e.AppointmentEditDialog as EditAppointmentDialog;
            if (editDialog != null)
            {
                editDialog.Shown += editDialog_Shown;
            }
        }

        private void editDialog_Shown(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            EditAppointmentDialog editDialog = sender as EditAppointmentDialog;
            RadCheckedDropDownList checkedCmbResource = editDialog.Controls["checkedCmbResource"] as RadCheckedDropDownList;
            checkedCmbResource.ItemCheckedChanged -= checkedCmbResource_ItemCheckedChanged;
            checkedCmbResource.ItemCheckedChanged += checkedCmbResource_ItemCheckedChanged;
        }

        private void checkedCmbResource_ItemCheckedChanged(object sender, RadCheckedListDataItemEventArgs e)
        {
            RadMessageBox.Show(e.Item.Text + " >> checked = " + e.Item.Checked);
        }

I believe that it would fit your scenario.

Hello, Troy,

I have prepared a sample code snippet demonstrating how to detect when a scheduler cell is clicked and detect what is the affected resource. Hence, it is easy to determine when the selected resource is changed considering the last clicked resource:

        public RadForm1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            Color[] colors = new Color[]
            {
                Color.LightBlue, Color.LightGreen, Color.LightYellow,
                Color.Red, Color.Orange, Color.Pink, Color.Purple, Color.Peru, Color.PowderBlue
            };
            string[] names = new string[]
            {
                "Alan Smith", "Anne Dodsworth",
                "Boyan Mastoni", "Richard Duncan", "Maria Shnaider"
            };
            for (int i = 0; i < names.Length; i++)
            {
                Resource resource = new Resource();
                resource.Id = new EventId(i);
                resource.Name = names[i];
                resource.Color = colors[i];
                this.radScheduler1.Resources.Add(resource);
            }

            this.radScheduler1.GroupType = GroupType.Resource;
            this.radScheduler1.ActiveView.ResourcesPerView = this.radScheduler1.Resources.Count; 

            this.radScheduler1.CellSelectionChanging += radScheduler1_CellSelectionChanging;
        }

        Resource lastSelectedResource = null; 

        private void radScheduler1_CellSelectionChanging(object sender, SchedulerCellSelectingEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Cell != null)
            {
                Resource selectedResource = GetResourceByID(e.SelectionResourceId);
                if (selectedResource != null && selectedResource != lastSelectedResource)
                {
                    lastSelectedResource = selectedResource;
                    this.Text = lastSelectedResource.Name;
                }
            }
        }

        private Resource GetResourceByID(EventId eventId)
        {
            foreach (Resource r in this.radScheduler1.Resources)
            {
                if (r.Id.KeyValue == eventId.KeyValue)
                {
                    return r;
                }
            }
            return null;
        }

The attached gif file illustrates the achieved result.

I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.

Dess,

 

thank you for your very detailed reply.  However I'm looking for when a user changes the selected Resource on the EditAppointmentDialog form.  Unless I'm missing something in your reply?
