Radscheduler - DayView - Selected Timeslots

[Markus]

Hi !

I have a little problem with the Radschulder DayView.

We use our own timeslot context menues, now when a a user selects some timeslots, and click on a context menue,
we call the (server side api)

TimeSlotContextMenuItemClicking(object sender, TimeSlotContextMenuItemClickingEventArgs e)

and wanted to get the selected timeslot begin/end time (let us say from 08:00am to 09:30am) with

e.TimeSlot.Start;
e.TimeSlot.End;

but all we get in these to values is, the timeslot where the user hit the context menue (always 30 minutes).

Is there a chance to get the complete selected timeslots, as it is used when adding an appointment client side ?

with best regards
Markus

Hi Markus,

We haven't implemented that, yet. We will try to include it for one of the next 2 major releases (Q2 or Q3).
It most probably will be included in Q3, because there is very big chance to be a breaking change.

Hi ,
I'm having the same issue,

and I'm using the Q3 timeslotas,

are there any news about how to obtain an array of the selected timeslots?

the only method that can read it seems to ne the "AppointmentInsert",

but unfortunately is not what I want, and moreover I cannot find a way to disable the popup with the 3 buttons "save", "Cancel", "options".

Do you have any suggestion on how to get the selected timeslot values?

Best regards.

Hi Marga Alonso,

 
You can use the client properties of the Scheduler get_selectedSlots(), get_durationOfSelectedArea() and get_durationBetweenTimeSlots().

As for the second question - if you want to insert or edit directly in the advanced form,  you have to set the StartInsertingInAdvancedForm and StartEditingInAdvancedForm properties to true.

Hope this will be helpful.

Thank you for your Prompt reply.

What I need to do is to access somehow SERVERSIDE the array of TImeSlot I've selected in the MonthView setup of my RADScheduler.  The workaround I've arranged implyes using a RAdschedulerContextMenu with an item that triggers the SERVERSIDE EVENT "CommandAddAppointment".

What I'd like to do is to have a VISIBLE BUTTON on the page that if I click on it I have the same behaviour than the contextmenu item of the radscheduler. The reason is that to see the item you have to RIGHT click on the timeslots, and users dont figure it out alone.

This is my code, do you have any suggestion on how to port the contextmenu funcionality on a permanently visible button on the page? Thank you in advance.

Hello Marga,

 
You can try to achieve this on the client-side by getting the selected Timeslots and showing the appropriate appointment form like below:

function OnClientClicked(sender, args) {
               var scheduler = $find("<%=RadScheduler1.ClientID%>");
               var selected = scheduler.get_selectedSlots();
               var counter = 0;
               var startSlot;
               var endSlot;
           for (var slot in selected) {
               if (counter == 0) {

                   startSlot = selected[counter];
               }
               endSlot = selected[counter];
               counter++;
           }
           scheduler.showInsertFormAt(startSlot, endSlot);
           }

<telerik:RadButton runat="server" ID="RadButton1" AutoPostBack="false" OnClientClicked="OnClientClicked">
       </telerik:RadButton>

       <telerik:RadScheduler runat="server" ID="RadScheduler1"....

Hope this will be helpful.

Is there any update regarding this bug? It's still there as of now. Cannot get correct timeslot details from custom contextMenu events.

Thanks

Hi,

I am working on RadScheduler. My question is can we extend the start data and end date timings iin Advanced Edit form. Some of my clients are based in other countries and if I want to schedule a meeting after 6 pm or before 8 am. Right now I am not able to do that as my Advanced Edit form only shows timings from 8am to 5:30 pm.

Please advice.

Thanks,
Rakesh

Peter,

I have an other issue with Recurring meetings. When I try to edit the single occurence of the recurrence meeting and click on the save button it is firing AppointmentInsert after the Update event and my appointment is getting deleted. And also e.modifiedappointment.subject is not fetching the updated subject. Please advice what could be the issue?

Thanks,
Rakesh

Hi,

The issue is resolved. The thing I left is RecurrenceState. Once I assigned the RecurrenceState and save it, everything works.

Thanks,
Rakesh
