RadScheduler all day event display

[Dragan]

I have a RadScheduler set like this:

<telerik:RadScheduler runat="server" DataEndField="EndDate"         DataKeyField="TaskID" DataStartField="StartDate"         DataSubjectField="Title" Skin="Web20" FirstDayOfWeek="Monday"         LastDayOfWeek="Sunday" SelectedView="WeekView" OverflowBehavior="Expand"           DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" ID="scheduler">

and on the web page when I double click and enter the all day event which is like more than 2 words long and click to save it, it shows but it's height stays the same i.e. it does not expand. If I enter the same text on any hour event it will properly expand.

Can somebody point me on what do I need to do to have the all day event expand so the user can see the whole text entered?

Thank you,
Dragan B.

forgot to mention that I saw people mentioning using rsAllDayHeader and rsAllDayTable but that only deals with the table not the entry itself. It would be usefull if somebody could tell me the name of the style that controls this.

Hi Dragan,

Automatic appontment height to wrap the entire text of the apointment is not supported. You can either set the RowHeight or ColumnWidth property or use both of these to allow more viewable area for the appointments.

Peter,

I don't understand the 'Automatic appontment height to wrap the entire text of the apointment is not supported' part as it's visible on the picture that one appointment I made is auto extended to allow display of all of it. As soon as I drag and drop that appointment to All-day part it stops wrapping it and cuts off the half of it. If I drag and drop it back to the hours part it goes back to the extended state.

Thank you.

Hi Dragan,

When you drag an appointment from the all-day row to the hours row, it defaults to one hour in duration. Since by default each row stands for 30 minutes time span, the row expands on two rows hence you get the impression that it expands to wrap the text. Actually, the length of the text is not determining the height of the appointment but its duration is. I hope this makes it clearer.


Best wishes,

OK, now I understand it. Thanks for the clarification.

Telerik: When you drag an appointment from the all-day row to the hours row, it defaults to one hour in duration. 

Me: I discovered this behavior earlier today.  How, then, do you override this behavior?

It may or may not be related, but when I drag an Appointment out of the "All Day Appointment" area into any specified "hours" area in the Scheduler's Week View, the Appointment defaults its Duration to 1 HOUR.  This behavior is expected.  However, any successive attempts to change the Appointment to any Duration that has a half HR increment(i.e. 1/2 HR or 1 1/2 HR) fails.  The e.ModifiedAppointment.End value still seems to round up to the nearest hour.  It totally ignores any half-hour increments that I've specified.

An example would be an existing Appointment starting at 1:00 PM and ending at 2:00 PM.  If I drag the Appointment to change its end to 2:30 PM, I should expect to then see an Appointment starting at 1:00 PM and ending at 2:30 PM.  Instead, I'm seeing an Appointment that starts at 1:00 PM and ending at 3:00 PM.

Any suggestions?  As always, thanks for the help!

Thanks!

Hi Michael J.,

To override this behavior, please handle AppointmentUpdate as follows:

protected void RadScheduler1_AppointmentUpdate(object sender, AppointmentUpdateEventArgs e)
    {
        if(e.Appointment.Duration.TotalHours >= 24)
            e.ModifiedAppointment.End = e.ModifiedAppointment.Start.AddHours(0.5);
    }

This code checks if the appointment is all day and if it is, makes its duration half an hour when dragged to an hour row.

Please, let us know if you continue to experience problems with this case.

Hi -

I am using v2009.2.826.35 of the Telerik.Web.UI DLL and working with the RadScheduler.  I was wondering if, per your previous comment, there is an easy way to get/set (on the server side) whether or not a particular appointment is an all-day appointment.  I am seeing this article which shows the use of an IsAllDayEvent property of the Appointment class, however that doesn't appear to be available in my version.  I also see here that there is a CLIENT-SIDE function, get_isAllDay(), for accomplishing this.  Is there nothing like this in the server-side API?

Thanks.

[Peter]

The documentation which you have seen is for WPF RadScheduler, not for ASP.NET AJAX. For the latter RadScheduler there isn't a server side property to indicate if an appointment is an all-day appointment or not. Do you experience any problems with the workaround I suggested?

I am a little confused about how an event's duration being >= 24 hours is an indicator that it is an all-day event.  What if it is a 3-day event, from 1pm on the first day to 11am on the third day?  That would be an event with specific start/end times, and a duration greater than 24 hours.  Am I missing something about the Duration property?

[Peter]

I see what you mean and you are right. Please, excuse me for the misleading suggestion. Here is a revised version for how to check if an appointment is allday or not:

protected void RadScheduler1_AppointmentDataBound(object sender, SchedulerEventArgs e)
   {
       if (e.Appointment.Start.TimeOfDay == new TimeSpan(0) & e.Appointment.End.TimeOfDay == new TimeSpan(0) & e.Appointment.Duration.TotalHours == 24)
           Response.Write(e.Appointment.Subject + "- is all day app </br>");
   }

 

Kind regards,

Thanks.  I am assuming the line that says "== 24" is supposed to say ">=24".  Is there any plan to incorporate this as an actual server-side property?  It seems like a pretty fundamental property of an event, not to mention the fact that the WPF version exposes such a property AND there is already a corresponding client-side approach.

[Peter]

The duration of all-day appointments is exactly 24 hours so the '==' check is correct.

Yes, we have plans to implement such a property in the future, but I cannot say exactly when this will happen at the moment.

Hi,
    I am using Radschduler and am facing a problem with the All Day Row.
When I add an all dat event or as soon as I drag and drop that appointment to All-day part it stops wrapping it and cuts off the half of it.
I want to display the text to span the whole of the All Day row.(in my case the text is getting truncated)
Any insight on this?

Regards,
Preethi D

[Peter]

Hi Preethi,

Please, try the following css workaround:

.rsAllDayRow .rsApt, .rsAllDayRow .rsAptOut

    {

        height: 45px !important;

    }

    .rsAllDayRow

    {

        height: 100px !important;

    }

if it's a 2 day "all day" event then it would be 48 hours, so this condition "& e.Appointment.Duration.TotalHours == 24" won't work...

[Marin Bratanov]

Hi Slava,

You can change the condition to fit your needs, for example, to ">=24", as was suggested earlier.
