Commands
RadScheduleView exposes its functionality through various commands that can be executed on its behalf. All commands are placed in the static class RadScheduleViewCommands. The purpose of this tutorial is to show you all of the commands exposed by the RadScheduleViewCommands class and how to execute them.
CreateAppointment / CreateAppointmentWithDialog Commands
When you want to create a new appointment and show the EditAppointmentDialog, then you need to use the CreateAppointment or CreateAppointmentWithDialog commands. If no parameter is passed, the SelectedSlot of RadScheduleView will be used for the new appointment start and end dates. If you want to explicitly specify which will be the start and end date you should pass a parameter of type IDateSpan (for example Slot is an IDateSpan).
The difference between both commands is when neither the parameter nor the SelectedSlot is set. In this case only the CreateAppointmentWithDialog command will show EditAppointmentDialog for the first visible slot, while CreateAppointment command won’t be executed.
RadScheduleViewCommands.CreateAppointment.Execute(null, ScheduleView);
RadScheduleViewCommands.CreateAppointmentWithDialog.Execute(null, ScheduleView);
CreateInlineAppointment Command
Use it when you want to create a new appointment via the inline editing. If no parameter is passed, the SelectedSlot of RadScheduleView will be used for the new appointment start and end dates. If you want to explicitly specify which will be the start and end date you should pass a parameter of type IDateSpan (for example Slot is an IDateSpan):
RadScheduleViewCommands.CreateInlineAppointment.Execute(null, ScheduleView);
IsInlineEditingEnabled property of the RadScheduleView should be set in order to use the command.
EditAppointment Command
