Namespace: DevExpress.Blazor

Assembly: DevExpress.Blazor.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Blazor

Declaration

public DxExpandoDictionaryObject CustomFields { get; }

Property Value

Type Description
DxExpandoDictionaryObject

The appointment’s CustomFields.

Remarks

The DevExpress Blazor Scheduler works with the DxSchedulerDataStorage object that contains source data for the following objects:

These items contain predefined sets of properties. When you bind a Scheduler to data, you map these properties to data source fields (see the AppointmentMappings, AppointmentLabelMappings, AppointmentStatusMappings, ResourceMappings properties).

You can add custom properties to Scheduler items:

  1. Define custom fields in source objects.
  2. Add created fields to the CustomFieldMappings collection.

You can use custom properties in appointment templates and custom appointment forms.

Add a Custom Field to an Appointment

The following code snippet implements the following scenario:

<DxScheduler StartDate="@DateTime.Today"
             DataStorage="@DataStorage"
             ActiveViewType="SchedulerViewType.WorkWeek"
             AppointmentFormShowing="OnAppointmentFormShowing"
             ValidateEditForm="true"
             CssClass="mw-1100">
    <Views>
        <DxSchedulerWorkWeekView VisibleTime="@(new DxSchedulerTimeSpanRange(TimeSpan.FromHours(8), 
                                 TimeSpan.FromHours(19)))">
            <HorizontalAppointmentTemplate>
                <div class="demo-sc-apt @((bool)context.CustomFields["IsAccepted"] ? 
                            "demo-sc-accepted " : "")" style="width: 100%;">
                    <div class="card demo-apt-bg dxbl-purple-color" style="width: 100%;"></div>
                    <div class="card shadow-sm p-1 demo-sc-apt-content text-white" style="width:100%;">

Add a Custom Field to a Label

The following code snippet adds a custom field to LabelObject and maps this field to the appointment label’s custom property:

@code {
    public class LabelObject {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string LabelName { get; set; }
        public System.Drawing.Color LabelColor { get; set; }
        public string MyCustomField { get; set; } // a custom field
    }

    DxSchedulerDataStorage DataStorage = new DxSchedulerDataStorage() {
        AppointmentLabelsSource = new List<LabelObject>() {
            new LabelObject() { 
                Id = 1, 
                LabelName = "Label One", 
                LabelColor = System.Drawing.Color.Aqua, 
                MyCustomField = "custom text for Label One" 
            },
            new LabelObject() { 
                Id = 2, 
                LabelName = "Label Two", 
                LabelColor = System.Drawing.Color.Beige, 
                MyCustomField = "custom text for Label Two"
            },
        },
        AppointmentLabelMappings = new DxSchedulerAppointmentLabelMappings() {
            Id = "Id",
            Caption = "LabelName",
            Color = "LabelColor",
            // Map the source object's custom field to the label's custom property
            CustomFieldMappings = new List<DxSchedulerCustomFieldMapping> {
                new DxSchedulerCustomFieldMapping { Name = "MyCustomProperty", Mapping = "MyCustomField" }
            }
        }
    };
}
