Overview

This topic covers the specific events exposed by the RadScheduleView control and its sub element Appointment. The events are first grouped by control and then by their general purpose.

RadScheduleView provides a couple of useful events that can be used for customization purposes. Events can be used for: persisting appointment changes, creating new appointments or canceling various operations.

Event naming convention is the standard naming convention for data manipulation events similar to web and windows programming. Every operation has a before event (ending with -ing) and after event (ending with -ed). An example of these are AppointmentDeleting and AppointmentDeleted event of RadScheduleView.

All event arguments of the before operation events (ending with -ing) derive from the CancelRoutedEventArgs class. That's why all of the before operation events (ending with -ing) can be canceled by setting event arguments' Cancel property to True.

All event arguments of the after operation events (ending with -ed) derive directly from the RadRoutedEventArgs class.

Data Events

RadScheduleView exposes the following events regarding the data manipulation:

When a new appointment is created the lifecycle of the raised events is: 1. AppointmentCreating 2. AppointmentSaving 3. AppointmentCreated

When an existing appointment is edited the lifecycle of the raised events is: 1. AppointmentEditing 2. AppointmentSaving 3. AppointmentEdited

When an existing appointment is deleted the lifecycle of the raised events is: 1. AppointmentDeleting 2. AppointmentDeleted Note that when deleting an appointment, the AppointmentSaving event is not raised.

When an existing occurrence is deleted the lifecycle of the raised events is: 1. AppointmentEditing 2. AppointmentSaving 3. AppointmentEdited

private void ScheduleView_DialogClosing(object sender, CancelRoutedEventArgs e) 
{ 
    // cast to CloseDialogEventArgs 
    var eventArgs = e as CloseDialogEventArgs; 
 
    // you can get the DialogViewModel 
    var currentDialogViewModel = eventArgs.DialogViewModel; 
 
    // you can also cancel the event
