Selected date when clicking an appointment

[Andy]

Hi there

We have appointments that span multiple days
Is there a way to determine the individual date that was clicked when I click on an appointment?

For example, if I have an appointment that runs from the 9th - 13th August, and I click on the appointment on the 12th, is there a way I can determine which day of the appointment I have selected?

Thanks

Hello Andy,

Thank you for writing.

You could use the following code snippet to get the selected appointment and take the start date from it.

SchedulerUIHelper.GetSelectedAppointment(this.radScheduler1)

You can access the clicked cell through the GetCellAtPoint method of the SchedulerUIHelper. Once you have this cell, you can easily get the date you are looking for.

Feel free to write us for additional questions.

All the best,

Thanks Dobry

Our appointments span multiple days, so the first method would not work
However, the second method worked, using the following code:

 

Dim ClickedPoint As New Point(e.X, e.Y)

 

 

Dim ViewElement As SchedulerTimelineViewElement = RadScheduler1.SchedulerElement.ViewElement

 

 

Dim ClickedCell As SchedulerCellElement

 

ClickedCell = SchedulerUIHelper.GetCellAtPoint(ClickedPoint, ViewElement.Children(1).Children)

 

Dim ClickedDate As Date = ClickedCell.Date

Is this the best method?

Hi Andy,

Thank you very much for the provided snippet.

Would you please try replacing the following piece of code:

ClickedCell = SchedulerUIHelper.GetCellAtPoint(ClickedPoint, ViewElement.Children(1).Children)

with this line:

ClickedCell = SchedulerUIHelper.GetCellAtPoint(ClickedPoint, ViewElement.Presenter.Children)

I hope you find this helpful. Feel free to contact me if you need further assistance. 

Best wishes,
