Need to get targetSlot for use in TimeSlotContextMenu

[Jesse Lawler]

Seems like this should be so easy...

I'm defining a <TimeSlotContextMenus> tag within the body of my RadScheduler.  Within one of the functions callable from that menu, I need to be able to access the targetSlot at which the context menu actually appeared.  I tried adding a custom OnClientTimeSlotContextMenu to my page, but this function never seems to get called at all (although the context menu appears fine).  What's up?

Anybody out there?  Telerik, please respond...  (Thanks!)

Hi Jesse Lawler,

Please accept my apologies for the late reply.

The reason why OnClientTimeSlotContextMenu event does not fires is that it fires before the built-in context menu is shown (if it is enabled). As you are using your own context menu - the event will not be fired.
You can get the target slot in the handler of theOnClientTimeSlotContextMenuItemClicking event by the get_slot().

Hope this helps.

All the best,
Veronica Milcheva
