OnClientRecurrenceActionDialogShowing issue with recurrent meetings

[Wouter]

I have the following issue when using a List datasource in combination with a custom OnClientRecurrenceDialogShowing:

<telerik:RadScheduler ID="Scheduler" runat="server"
         OnClientRecurrenceActionDialogShowing="OnClientRecurrenceActionDialogShowing"
         DataKeyField="Id"
         DataSubjectField="Subject"
         DataStartField="Start"
         DataEndField="End"
         DataRecurrenceField="RecurrenceRule"
         DataRecurrenceParentKeyField="RecurrenceParentId"
         OnAppointmentInsert="Scheduler_AppointmentInsert"
         OnAppointmentUpdate="Scheduler_AppointmentUpdate"
         OnAppointmentDelete="Scheduler_AppointmentDelete"
         DisplayDeleteConfirmation="False"
         AllowDelete="true" />

and following Javascript:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function OnClientRecurrenceActionDialogShowing(sender, eventArgs) {
        eventArgs.set_cancel(true);
        eventArgs.set_editSeries(false);
    }
</script>

According to documentation, this should bypass the "do you want to (edit/delete) this appointment occurrence or series" dialogs.
However, if I put a breakpoint in the Scheduler_AppointmentDelete handler, I hit the breakpoint for "simple" appointments, but not for recurrent ones. On the other hand, editing a recurrent appointment works fine, bypasses the dialog and edits the series.

Is this a known issue?

Hi Wouter,

This is normal behaviour of the scheduler. OnAppointmentDelete event doesn't fire because each time you try to delete a recurring appointment - you are deleting actually a occurence and not the whole serie. As the recurring appointments are not stored in separate objects but in RecurrenceRule - that's why the event is not fired.

Please let me know if you have further questions.

I assume I still have the possibility to update the appointment in the database when a recurring meeting occurrence is deleted. Is there an update callback invoked then?


Furthermore, if I change

eventArgs.set_editSeries(false);

to

eventArgs.set_editSeries(true);

will there be a callback in case of a delete?

Hello Wouter,

If you change the eventArgs.set_editSerries(false) to "true" you will be able to edit only the whole series of the recurring appointment. Could you please be more specific on "Is there an update callback invoked then"?

Well my main question is that (going back to the original post) that using that code, I'll be able to delete a single occurrence on the client side (in the RadScheduler), without knowing at server-side that anything happened... Is there a callback performed when I delete an occurrence of a recurrent meeting? (so I can update the database with the recurrent meeting "exception").

Ignore my other question in the prev post.

Kind regards,

Wouter

Hi Wouter,

You can subscribe to the OnOccurenceDelete event and perform your operations in the handler.

Please let me know if you have further questions.

Ok thanks, I must have overlooked that event. I expected some sort of update event to be called...
