RadCalendar and Radscheduler synchronization

[hema]

Hi,

              I have created a user control say ctlSchedular(along with RadSchedulerNavigator).And i am loading ctlSchedular  in a form say Form1 ,in that Form1 i have a Radpageview with outlook mode with 2 pages. In the 2nd page i have a RadCalendar .

Now i need a sync between calendar and schedular ...

1)If i click  on the forward navigator button on the RadSchedulerNavigator then the date on the calender should change.

2)If i click  some date in the Radcalendar then date in the schedular should change .

How can i do this .can anyone please explain it.

Thanks
Hema

Hi Hema,

Thank you for your question.

You can achieve this by subscribing to the RadScheduler's active view PropertyChanged event and RadCalendar's SelectionChanged event. Below is a code snippet that demonstrates this:

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.radScheduler1.ActiveView.PropertyChanged += new PropertyChangedEventHandler(ActiveView_PropertyChanged);
    this.radCalendar1.SelectionChanged += new EventHandler(radCalendar1_SelectionChanged);
}

void ActiveView_PropertyChanged(object sender, PropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.PropertyName == "StartDate")
    {
        this.radCalendar1.SelectionChanged -= new EventHandler(radCalendar1_SelectionChanged);
        this.radCalendar1.SelectedDate = this.radScheduler1.ActiveView.StartDate;
        this.radCalendar1.FocusedDate = this.radScheduler1.ActiveView.StartDate;
        this.radCalendar1.SelectionChanged += new EventHandler(radCalendar1_SelectionChanged);
    }
}

void radCalendar1_SelectionChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (this.radCalendar1.SelectedDates.Count > 0)
    {
        this.radScheduler1.ActiveView.PropertyChanged -= new PropertyChangedEventHandler(ActiveView_PropertyChanged);
        this.radScheduler1.ActiveView.StartDate = this.radCalendar1.SelectedDate;
        this.radScheduler1.ActiveView.PropertyChanged += new PropertyChangedEventHandler(ActiveView_PropertyChanged);
    }
}

You can find a sample project in the support ticket you have opened.

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

Hello Pankaj,

Thank you for writing.

I am not sure how you can achieve an actual "sync" between all these platforms as this depends on the way they are implemented and the API they provide. This is outside of our scope and I am not able to answer that question. However, I think most of these platforms support the iCalendar format which is also supported by RadScheduler: http://www.telerik.com/help/winforms/scheduler-importing-and-exporting-appointments-export-to-icalendar.html. Using this format you can export and import appointment between the different platforms.

I hope you find this useful. Feel free to ask if you have any other questions.
