Public Property AllowAppointmentCreate As UsedAppointmentType

Property Value

Type	Description
UsedAppointmentType	A UsedAppointmentType enumeration value that specifies the type of appointment to which the action can be applied.

Property Paths

You can access the OptionsCustomization.AllowAppointmentCreate property from the following objects:

Object Type	Path to AllowAppointmentCreate
SchedulerControl	.OptionsCustomization.AllowAppointmentCreate

Remarks

By default, end-users are allowed to create new appointments by using UI elements such as the scheduler's popup menu, a View's inplace editor or the Edit Appointment dialog. Use the AllowAppointmentCreate property to control the availability of this action for end-users, with respect to an appointment's specific type.

NOTE

If the AllowAppointmentCreate property is set to UsedAppointmentType.Custom, then whether an end-user is allowed to create new appointments or not is decided in the SchedulerControl.AllowAppointmentCreate event handler.

Examples

This example demonstrates how to prevent end-users from creating appointments within a certain time interval (from 2 PM to 3 PM). To implement end-user restrictions, handle the SchedulerControl.AllowAppointmentCreate event to prevent end-users from creating appointments within a certain time interval and the SchedulerControl.AllowAppointmentConflicts event to prevent an existing appointment from being dragged to the same time interval:
