Scheduler Drag&Drop to later dates

[Paul Dell]

Hello,

is it possible to somehow activate a funktion to drag and hold an appointment to the latest possible date and the scheduler will after a few seconds of holding the appointment in this position automatically change the displayed calender to for example the next week so that you can drop the appointment here?

Regards,

Paul

Hello Paul,

In general, you can use the AppointmentDraggingBehavior events to achieve this scenario. You could subscribe to the AppointmentMoving event which will be called while dragging an appointment over a cell. If the user stops for several seconds, you can change the view. Here you can use Timer to catch this. I am not sure what you mean by the latest possible dates, but you can get the cell date from its Date property. Also, keep in mind that changing the view while dragging will reset the visual feedback. it will be good to cancel the drag-drop after changing the view.

For your convenience, I have created a sample project which demonstrates this. In the AppointmentMoving event handler, I check if the Date is 1 of June. If it is and the user holds drag appointment over a cell for 2 seconds, the view is changed from day to week. This approach is just an example of how you can use drag-drop events. You can extend it in your application to cover all your requirements.
