Open Recurring Item Dialog Formatting

[Jeremy Murtishaw]

Hello,

The Open Recurring Item Dialog for the Rad Scheduler is commonly too small for the text that it needs to display [the text gets truncated]. I'd also like to change the background color. Can you point me at some information so that I can achieve both of these things?

Thanks!

Jeremy

Hello Jeremy Murtishaw,

Thank you for writing. Unfortunately, this is not possible at the moment, but we are planning to implement it for next official release.

Hi,

I would also like to vote for this improvement.  Additionally, when the "Open Recurring Item" dialog opens up it is never showing the name of the event to be opened.  It is just showing the following: 
"" is a recurring appointment. ...

Thanks.

Hello Chris,

It is already possible to modify or replace the "Open Recurring Item" dialog. The following code sample demonstrates how you can achieve this:

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        this.radScheduler1.AppointmentEditDialogShowing += new EventHandler<AppointmentEditDialogShowingEventArgs>(radScheduler1_AppointmentEditDialogShowing);
    }

    void radScheduler1_AppointmentEditDialogShowing(object sender, AppointmentEditDialogShowingEventArgs e)
    {
        e.AppointmentEditDialog = new CustomEditAppointmentDialog(new CustomOpenRecurringAppointmentDialog());
    }
}

public class CustomEditAppointmentDialog : EditAppointmentDialog
{
    public CustomEditAppointmentDialog(IOpenRecurringAppointmentDialog openRecurringAppointmentDialog)
        : base(openRecurringAppointmentDialog)
    {
    }
}

public class CustomOpenRecurringAppointmentDialog : OpenRecurringAppointmentDialog
{
    public CustomOpenRecurringAppointmentDialog()
        : base()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    private void InitializeComponent()
    {
        ((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)(this)).BeginInit();
        this.SuspendLayout();
        //
        // CustomOpenRecurringAppointmentDialog
        //
        this.AutoScaleDimensions = new System.Drawing.SizeF(6F, 13F);
        this.ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(418, 158);
        this.Name = "CustomOpenRecurringAppointmentDialog";
        //
        //
        //
        this.RootElement.ApplyShapeToControl = true;
        this.RootElement.MinSize = new System.Drawing.Size(150, 36);
        ((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)(this)).EndInit();
        this.ResumeLayout(false);
        this.PerformLayout();
    }
}

In regards to the problem where the appointment's name is not shown, I was not able to reproduce this on my end. Could you confirm which version of the controls you are using?

Hope this helps. Feel free to ask if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,

Thanks for your answer.  I was able to use your example to successfully modify the dialog to show the size and text I was looking for.

Best Regards.
