Tell the difference between an update.

[Chris]

Hi,

I believe this is the last issue with the scheduler that I need fixed.  I want to know if there's a way through code to tell the difference between when they update an appointment through an advanced form or when they simply drag the appointment to another date?  I want to do this in the AppointmentUpdate method.

Hello Chris,

There is no straightforward way to get this info from the API, but we can use the AppointmentCommand event to mark the appointment as "edited through the form" and later use this info in the AppointmentUpdate event. Here is the code:

protected void  RadScheduler1_AppointmentCommand(object sender, AppointmentCommandEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CommandName.ToLowerInvariant() == "update")
    {
        e.Container.Appointment.Attributes["__UpdatedThrougForm"] = "true";
    }
}

protected void RadScheduler1_AppointmentUpdate(object sender, AppointmentUpdateEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Appointment.Attributes["__UpdatedThrougForm"] == "true")
    {
        // ...
        e.Appointment.Attributes.Remove("__UpdatedThrougForm");
    }
}

Let us know if this helps.
