TimeSlot Attributes

[Richard Brown]

I have an application that limits concurrent and/or overlapping appointments and appointments on special days.  I set the TimeSlot.CssClass to "Unavailable" when the limit is reached ot is on a special day.  That class sets the TimeSlot bacground image to a particular color and word "Unavailable".  The problem presents when there are appointments in the TimeSlot which obscures the background and the word "Unavailable".

I display a RadDock for the Form input when new appointments are allowed and just cancel when not.  I supposeI could display a different RadDock to provide "not allowed" feed back when applicable but I'm searching for something simpler.  Any ideas?

Hello Richard,

I wonder if a simple alert is an acceptable alternative for your case. If yes, then try the following code (which is part from this kb article):

function OnClientAppointmentInserting(sender, eventArgs) {
            var slotElement = $telerik.$(eventArgs.get_targetSlot().get_domElement());
            if (slotElement.is(".Disabled") || slotElement.parent().is(".Disabled")) {
                // Prevent appointment inserting on holidays.
                eventArgs.set_cancel(true);
        alert("This time slot is not available.");
            }
        }

Greetings,

I appreciate your idea.  I wound up using JQuery to set the title attribute of all of the <TD> elements with an "Unavailable" class:

$(

"td[class*='Unavailable']").attr("title", "Not Available for Scheduling!");

That provides a mouseover notification which the client deemed good enough.


Thanks
