Events and Customization

Updated over 6 months ago

RadScheduler provides a set of events that allow you to customize the appearance of the printed elements:

FormattingEvents

• PrintElementFormatting: Fires when a print element is being formatted before it is printed.

• CellPrintElementFormatting: Fires when a cell print element is being formatted before it is printed.

• AppointmentPrintElementFormatting: Fires when an appointment print element is being formatted before it is printed.

PaintEvents

• PrintElementPaint: Fires when a print element is printed.

• CellPrintElementPaint: Fires when a cell print element is printed.

• AppointmentPrintElementPaint: Fires when an appointment print element is printed.

Here is an example. The comments are inline:
