Disable Inline Editing of Appointment

2320

Is there a way to disable inline editing (when the user clicks on the appointment) of an appointment's subject?

I want an appointment only to be editable through the Appointment Dialog.

Thanks in advance.

Currently there is no property to disable this. The next version will include properties to control how an activity may be edited. For now you would probably need to retemplate the AppointmentPresenter such that its template does not contain an element named "Editor". You can find the default styles/templates in the DefaultStyles directory (e.g. in the C:\Program Files\Infragistics\NetAdvantage 2010.3\WPF\DefaultStyles\Schedule directory).

Thanks, Andrew.

I wasn't sure what to change in the template but changing the names of the Edit panels did the trick. I hope changing these won't break anything else?

The XamScheduleDataManager has an ActivityRecurrenceChooserDialogDisplaying event that is raised before the dialog that prompts for whether it should act on the series/occurrence.

Thank you - that's exactly what I was looking for. One more question: is there an event handler for die dialog showing before editing recurring appointments? That dialog, asking for deleting/editing only this element or the series.

How can activity creation be controlled in version 11.1?
The XamScheduleDataManager->ScheduleSettings can be set to a ScheduleSettings instance (in code or xaml). The ScheduleSettings class exposes properties such as AppointmentSettings, TaskSettings and JournalSettings that can be set to a derived ActivitySettings class instance (e.g. AppointmentSettings). The ActivitySettings class has several properties that affect what type of interactions are allowed on the activity. If you want to completely disable the ability to create activity then you can just set the AllowAdd to false. This property existed in the 10.3 version as well. In 11.1, we also added several additional properties to control how a new activity may be created via the new IsAddVia(ClickToAdd|DoubleClick|Typing)Enabled properties. So if you wanted to disable all inline creation of activities then you could set the IsAddViaClickToAddEnabled and IsAddViaTypingEnabled to false. In this way the end user may still double click on an time slot to create a new activity - via the activity dialog.

If you want to prevent all editing, then you could set the AllowEdit of the ActivitySettings (mentioned above) to false. If you wanted to prevent the activity dialog from being displayed then you can handle the ActivityDialogDisplaying and set the Cancel property to true as needed. The event arguments for that event also has an AllowModifications property so you could also handle the event and set that property to false so that the dialog will be displayed by the editable elements within the dialog will be disabled.

Note: If you re-template the ActivityDialogCore or create you're own it will be your responsibility to ensure that you disable the appropriate UI. In the case of the ActivityDialogCore that is usually done by binding the IsEnabled property to the IsActivityModifiable of the ActivityDialogCore.

BTW I think I made a mistake with regards to the next version. In 11.1 there will be properties to control how an activity can be created but in place editing of an existing activity is always allowed as long as the activity is editable.
