Scheduler scroller, when resizing appointment

[Karl]

Hi,

I have a scheduler which displays a single day, when I add an appoinment and resize it out side the view of the scheduler the scroll bar does not move with the resizing of the appointment. I would like to achive the same as the outlool calendar.

This is the scheduler in my app:

This is out look

Is this possible?

Thanks

Hello Karl,

Thank you for contacting us.

Yes, it is possible to achieve this. In order to do so, you need to handle the MouseMove event of RadScheduler as it is shown below:

private void radScheduler1_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    SchedulerDayViewElement viewElement = (this.radScheduler1.SchedulerElement.ViewElement as SchedulerDayViewElement);

    if (viewElement == null)
        return;

    DayViewAppointmentsTable table = viewElement.DataAreaElement.Table;

    if (this.radScheduler1.SchedulerElement.ResizeBehavior.IsResizing &&
        e.Y > this.radScheduler1.Height)
    {
        table.Scroll(false);
    }
    else if (this.radScheduler1.SchedulerElement.ResizeBehavior.IsResizing &&
        e.Y < viewElement.AllDayHeaderElement.ControlBoundingRectangle.Bottom)
    {
        table.Scroll(true);
    }
}

As supporting such functionality out of the box seems very reasonable, I have logged this as a feature request in our Public Issue Tracking System. Here you can find the PITS entry. Your Telerik points have been updated for this request.

Do not hesitate to contact us whenever you have any future questions regarding our products.

Hello Ivan,

I have a Scheduler in week or dayview and I want to add an appointment by selecting the time for it. When I reach an area out side the view of the scheduler the scroll bar does not move with the selection. I would like to achieve a similiar behaviour as with the resizing of the appointment shown above. 

I've found such behaviour for example in the google calender. 

Could you provide me a short code snipped? 

Thank you in advance,

Peter

Hi Peter,

This functionality can be achieved using a similar approach. The following code snippet demonstrates this:

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    this.radScheduler1.MouseMove += new MouseEventHandler(radScheduler1_MouseMove);
    this.radScheduler1.MouseDown += new MouseEventHandler(radScheduler1_MouseDown);
    this.radScheduler1.MouseUp += new MouseEventHandler(radScheduler1_MouseUp);
}

void radScheduler1_MouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    this.radScheduler1.Capture = false;
}

void radScheduler1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    if (this.radScheduler1.ElementTree.GetElementAtPoint(e.Location) is SchedulerCellElement)
    {
        this.radScheduler1.Capture = true;
    }
}

void radScheduler1_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    if (this.radScheduler1.DragDropBehavior.IsDragging || e.Button != System.Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Left)
    {
        return;
    }

    DayViewAppointmentsArea appointmentArea = (this.radScheduler1.SchedulerElement.ViewElement as SchedulerDayViewElement).DataAreaElement;
    Rectangle tableRectangle = appointmentArea.ControlBoundingRectangle;

    if (!tableRectangle.Contains(e.Location))
    {
        if (e.Y > tableRectangle.Bottom)
        {
            appointmentArea.Table.Scroll(false);
        }
        else if (e.Y < tableRectangle.Top)
        {
            appointmentArea.Table.Scroll(true);
        }
    }
}

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

All the best,

Hi Ivan,

thank you very much for the solution. It works fine for me. A short remark: I can't use



this.radScheduler1.DragDropBehavior

in Telerik WinForms v. 2012.2.912.40 because there is no such method. 

Best regards,

Peter

Hi Peter,

Yes, in the version you are using you should access the DragDropBehavior as shown below:

this.radScheduler1.SchedulerElement.DragDropBehavior

As of the next official release, the DragDropBehavior will be available directly on the control.

Feel free to ask if you have any additional questions.

Kind regards,
