I have an existing app where a user can generate a recurring schedule with a form we made that pretty much looks just like the RadScheduler's Recurrence edit form. It then previews what dates will be generated from the schedule and they can then save those dates only to the database.
What I would like to do, is replace our custom made form with RadScheduler's Recurrence edit form. So I don't want to initially databind the RadScheduler to anything and I don't want to see the whole schedule part of it either. All I want is the functionality of the recurrence edit and then be able to retrieve what they entered in server side.
Is this possible?

Hello Zach,
You can use the ShowAdvancedInsertForm() method to display the advanced insert form. Then using javascript, css and code-behind you can hide the unnecessary parts from the advanced form and show the recurrence panel. You still have to enter text for the subject to pass the built-in validation. In AppointmentInsert you can get the recurrence rule and work with it as shown in this help topic:
http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/schedule_serversideworkingwithrecurringappointments.html
Please, try the code below and let us know if this is what you need.
Overriding the rsAdvChkWrap class hides the all-day and recurring checkboxes in the basic panel.

I have not been able to get this to work. Perhaps it is because I am not sure what you mean when you say "You still have to enter text for the subject to pass the built-in validation."

I have attached the test page. Give it a try and let me know if this is what you need.

Not exactly. One thing in the attached example that did not work for me was the positioning of
I moved it from the page load to the LoadComplete, and then it worked for me. I am still working off and on with this. I need to hide much of the functionality so I only have the recurrence panel showing. I have not yet accomplished this completely. Zach is a busy man right now :)
