# Time Slot Context Menu

With Q3 2009, RadScheduler gives you the option to enable a default time slot context menu.

If **TimeSlotContextMenuSettings-EnableDefault** is set to **true**, right-clicking on a time slot will display a context menu.The default time slot context menu is disabled by default.

You can use the TimeSlotContextMenuSettings to also style the menu through a [skin registration](https://www.telerik.com/products/aspnet-ajax/documentation/styling/controlling-visual-appearance/skin-registration), or to [disable its embedded resources](https://www.telerik.com/products/aspnet-ajax/documentation/getting-started/performance/disabling-embedded-resources):

If not specified, the above settings will be inherited from those of the RadScheduler instance.

The items of the default time slot context menu depend on the currently selected view.

For **Day** and **Week** view the context menu has four items as shown below:

For **Month** and **Timeline** view the context menu has three items:

The default time slot context menu can be customized declaratively:

```ASP.NET
<TimeSlotContextMenus>
   <telerik:RadSchedulerContextMenu ID="SchedulerTimeSlotContextMenu" runat="server">
	   <Items>
		   <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="New Appointment" Value="CommandAddAppointment" />
		   <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="New All Day Event" />
		   <telerik:RadMenuItem IsSeparator="True" />
		   <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="New Recurring Appointment" Value="CommandAddRecurringAppointment" />
		   <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="New Recurring Event" />
		   <telerik:RadMenuItem IsSeparator="True" />
		   <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Go to today" Value="CommandGoToToday" />
		   <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Show 24 hours..." Value="CommandShow24Hours" />
	   </Items>
   </telerik:RadSchedulerContextMenu>
</TimeSlotContextMenus>     
	
```

The functionality of the default menu items such as adding an appointment or navigating to today's date can be achieved by setting the **Value** property of the menu item to a command name. RadScheduler's time slot context menu will recognize the following commands:

* CommandAddAppointment

* CommandAddRecurringAppointment

* CommandGoToToday

* CommandShow24Hours

To allow associating other functionality to a menu item, RadScheduler exposes the following events:

**Client Side**

* [OnClientTimeSlotContextMenuItemClicking](https://www.telerik.com/products/aspnet-ajax/documentation/controls/scheduler/client-side-programming/events/onclienttimeslotcontextmenuitemclicking)

* [OnClientTimeSlotContextMenuItemClicked](https://www.telerik.com/products/aspnet-ajax/documentation/controls/scheduler/client-side-programming/events/onclienttimeslotcontextmenuitemclicked)

**Server Side**

* [OnTimeSlotContextMenuItemClicking](https://www.telerik.com/products/aspnet-ajax/documentation/controls/scheduler/server-side-programming/server-events/timeslotcontextmenuitemclicking)

* [OnTimeSlotContextMenuItemClicked](https://www.telerik.com/products/aspnet-ajax/documentation/controls/scheduler/server-side-programming/server-events/timeslotcontextmenuitemclicked)

If the RadScheduler is read-only (via the **ReadOnly** property) or the **AllowInsert**property is set to **“False”**– then you will not be able to insert appointments. The two menu items **“New Appointment”** and **“New Recurring Appointment”** will be disabled:
