Issue when End Time is 12:00 AM on Month View

[Timothy]

When I set an appointment to something like:
Start Time - 1/15/2013 4:00:00 PM
End Time - 1/16/2013 12:00:00 AM

the appointment spans both days (1/15 and 1/16). Since 1/16/2012 12:00 AM is the same thing as 1/15/2012 24:00, I would not expect this behavior. See the attached image for an example.

I realize that appointments in the month view are taking up the whole day horizontally but an 8 hour appointment starting at 4:00 PM should not look like it is also spilling over into the next day. At least not in my opinion.

I also realize that I can get around this by having the user enter 11:59:59 PM. But 1) its not accurate and 2) its clunky.

Microsoft's Outlook handles this correctly.

Hello Timothy,

Thank you for contacting us.

This appears to be an issue in MonthView. I have logged it in our Public Issue Tracking System and we will address in a future release. Here is the link to the PITS item: http://www.telerik.com/support/pits.aspx#/public/winforms/14037.

For the time being, I would suggest using the "11:59:59 PM" end time as a workaround. You can override the ApplySettingsToEvent method of the EditAppointmentDialog to internally subtract one second when needed:

class MyEditDialog : EditAppointmentDialog
{
    protected override void ApplySettingsToEvent(IEvent targetEvent)
    {
        base.ApplySettingsToEvent(targetEvent);
        if (targetEvent.End.TimeOfDay == TimeSpan.Zero)
        {
            targetEvent.End = targetEvent.End.AddSeconds(-1);
        }
    }
}

Your Telerik points have been updated. Should you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
