Style by hidden resource/attribute

[Ryan Baxter]

Is there a way for me to style by a hidden resource/attribute?  Every time an event is written I also log which user enters it via a insert parameter that is assigned via page_load so the user never sees this field and its not part of the form.  I would assume I need to add it as a resource or attribute and then set the visibility to false and set the value to something if I want to make it work?

I was able to hide my attribute once I figured out I need to add "Attr" to the front of the field I set in the "CustomAttributeNames" field.  But now how would I go about looping thru all values and setting a color.  I dont see a "Get" function like there is for the resources ...

EX:

Protected Sub ResourceStyles()
        For Each res As Resource In RadScheduler1.Resources.GetResourcesByType("User")
            Dim resMapping As New ResourceStyleMapping()
            resMapping.Key = res.Key.ToString()
            resMapping.BackColor = RandomRGBColor()

            RadScheduler1.ResourceStyles.Add(resMapping)
        Next
    End Sub

Hi,

 
The easiest way to achieve it is by using AppointmentDataBound server event as you mentioned you did in the other forum thread.

How do I get all the distinct values or do I need to loop thru all the appointments first?  The attributes dont have all the options that the resources do.

Hi,

 
You don't have to loop all appointments because AppointmentDataBound is throwing for every one of them. Here is a sample code that will change the appointment color if its attribute is set with particular value:

protected void RadScheduler1_AppointmentDataBound(object sender, SchedulerEventArgs e)
   {
       if (e.Appointment.Attributes["Annotations"]=="red")
       {
           e.Appointment.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
       }


   }

Hope this will be helpful.
