RecurrenceControlBase Class

A base class for recurrence controls available in the XtraScheduler library.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraScheduler.UI

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraScheduler.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Win.Scheduler

Declaration

C#

[ComVisible(false)]
public class RecurrenceControlBase :
    XtraUserControl,
    IBatchUpdateable,
    IBatchUpdateHandler

VB.NET

<ComVisible(False)>
Public Class RecurrenceControlBase
    Inherits XtraUserControl
    Implements IBatchUpdateable,
               IBatchUpdateHandler

Remarks

This class implements the common functionality used by recurrence date-time controls. You should use this base class to create custom descendant recurrence controls.

The following properties and methods are specific for the RecurrenceControlBase:

• RecurrenceControlBase.RecurrenceInfo - the most significant property, specifying the recurrence pattern for display.
• RecurrenceControlBase.RecurrenceInfoChanged event handler.
• RecurrenceControlBase.CheckForWarnings
• RecurrenceControlBase.ValidateValues
• RecurrenceControlBase.UpdateControls

Example

This example shows how you can implement a custom recurrence control and use it in your appointment editing form. A control that allows you to specify hourly recurrence is created by inheriting from the RecurrenceControlBase class. A custom form used to set the Appointment.RecurrenceInfo property is displayed instead of the default appointment editing form. To accomplish this, the SchedulerControl.EditAppointmentFormShowing event is handled.
