Work Day by Resource & timeslot/cursor options

[Richard]

Hi folks,

I'm desparate to make your scheduler fit my requirements as your support and documentation seems much better than your competitors.    I have just finished wasting a week on other scheduling controls which, grant it, have more features and server/client events etc BUT they seem slow at runtime and are slow in the IDE....further more documentation is poor and support seems rushed.  Given I don't require 90% of the features of typical scheduling controls I would rather go with you guys....so please help....

I suspect both of my problems will have a similar solution.

1)  I would like to be able to set work day start and end for each resource in resource grouped day view showing just one day.   Actually, what I really want is to apply css to timeslots outside of each resources work day, maybe display custom text inside these timeslots...and certainly prevent clicking or appointments.

2)  At the moment when I hover on a timeslot the slot and the one below it have css applied by rsAptCreate style.    Can I change the number of slots for which rsAptCreate style is applied?  Or can I implement my own solution by applying a onmouseover event to each timeslot on prerender ot timeslotcreated or something?

Thanks in advance.
Richard

Hi Richard,

Thank you for the positive feedback.

We will be happy to help you but we are not sure what exactly you want to achieve. Could you please elaborate a bit more and if possible, send us a mockup of the desired functionality?

All the best,

i'm interested in this same implementation, namely apply css to timeslots outside of each resource's work day

how did you end up doing this? can you post your solution?

Hello Richard,

Thank you for considering our controls. I think that we can cover both of the requirements. The implementation will require some custom coding, but it is definitely possible.

Custom CSS classes can be applied by handling the TimeSlotCreated event. We have not yet implemented a simple "read only" property for time slots, but the functionality can be achieved by handling the AppointmentInsert and AppointmentUpdate events and canceling them according to your business rules. This behaviour can also be extended client-side, as in this example.

Regarding the row hover, we are in fact planning to implement a property to control it's size. It will most likely be included in the upcoming Q2 Futures release (in about two weeks).

Apologies for the delayed response, some unfortunate distractions recently. 

Thanks again to the telerik team and indeed to Robert for throwing your support in, I believe these are must have features for a mature scheduler control.   I intend to grab the Q2 futures release and post back when I get chance on progress.

Thanks
