Remarks

Important

You are viewing documentation for the legacy WPF Scheduler control. If you’re starting a new project, we strongly recommend that you use a new control declared in the DevExpress.Xpf.Scheduling namespace. If you decide to upgrade an existing project in order to switch to the updated scheduler control, see the Migration Guidelines document.

Handle the EditAppointmentFormShowing event to perform any actions before the Edit Appointment form is shown. For instance, a custom form can be substituted in place of the standard one.

This form can be invoked either by an end-user, or via the SchedulerControl.ShowEditAppointmentForm method. Note that the appointment which will be edited in this form can be specified via the EditAppointmentFormEventArgs.Appointment property.

Example

This example demonstrates how to replace the standard Edit Appointment form with a custom one, and prevent end-users from resizing this form via the SchedulerControl.EditAppointmentFormShowing event.

C#

using DevExpress.Xpf.Scheduler;
// ...

private void schedulerControl1_EditAppointmentFormShowing(object sender, EditAppointmentFormEventArgs e) {
    e.Form = new CustomAppointmentForm(this.schedulerControl1, e.Appointment);
    e.AllowResize = false;
}

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.Xpf.Scheduler
' ...

Private Sub schedulerControl1_EditAppointmentFormShowing(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As EditAppointmentFormEventArgs)
    e.Form = New CustomAppointmentForm(Me.schedulerControl1, e.Appointment)
    e.AllowResize = False
End Sub

XAML

<dxsch:SchedulerControl Name="schedulerControl1" 
                        EditAppointmentFormShowing="schedulerControl1_EditAppointmentFormShowing"/>
