[Solved] Recurrence Engine

[Steven Marchessault]

I am using the radscheduler to display events. However the administration side will be edited with a grid of schedules. Is it possible just to use the recurrence engine part of the scheduler on my form when editing?

I know I can achieve this by using the recurrence classes that telerik provides, but I would just like to use the interface part of the recurrence set up while editing events.

Thanks,

[Peter]

Hi Steve,

It looks like the ShowAdvancedEditForm method is what would work well for this scnerio. Here is a simple example:

protected void Button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Appointment appointmentToEdit = RadScheduler1.Appointments.FindByID(15);
        RadScheduler1.ShowAdvancedEditForm(appointmentToEdit);
    }

Thanks, is there possibly anyway to hide everything besides the recurrence piece?

also, is there a way i can get the recurrence string client side?

Hello Steve,

With the new futures release last month, we introduced one new example -
Customizing the Advanced Template, which makes it relatively easy to customize the advanced form. I would recommend you use the set of user controls to create the advanced form. The accompanying help article is not live yet, so I am sending it to you as a word document.

The user controls can be found in your local installation of the latest Telerik.Web.UI Futures (I attached a screenshot of which file you need to download just in case) at this location:

Live Demos\Scheduler\Examples\AdvancedFormTemplate\DefaultTemplates

As for the second question, there isn't a way to get the recurrence string client side.

Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

I am using the prometheus futures control. Attached is a screen shot of what i would like to achieve. I have made it this far to show only the recurrence portion, but now I'm having a hard time getting the new recurrence string. Is there a way I can get it after the user enters their recurrence times?

Would this work?:

protected void RadScheduler1_AppointmentUpdate(object sender, AppointmentUpdateEventArgs e)
    {
            Response.Write(e.ModifiedAppointment.RecurrenceRule.ToString());
    }

i tried that and it comes back as an empty string.. i know im hiding the recurrence check box in the panel with the subject (BasicControlsPanel).. does that need to be checked in order for the control to build the recurrence string?

[Peter]

If you don't check the recurrence check box, the appointment will not be promoted to recurrent, unless you explicitly make it recurrent from code-behind. All appointments which are not recurrent will have null for their RecurrenceRule property.
