Hi,
Here is a basic example.  See attached. 

Regards
Chris

Use the ISelectionManager.SetPivotItem method to activate the appointment:

    Private Sub UltraMonthViewSingle1_MouseClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles UltraMonthViewSingle1.MouseClick
        Dim lobjAppointment As Infragistics.Win.UltraWinSchedule.Appointment
        lobjAppointment = UltraMonthViewSingle1.GetAppointmentFromPoint(e.Location)
        If lobjAppointment Is Nothing Then
            ' No appointment, so create one which pops up the combo nicely.
            UltraMonthViewSingle1.PerformAction(Infragistics.Win.UltraWinSchedule.MonthViewSingle.UltraMonthViewSingleAction.AddNewAppointment, False, False)
        Else
            ' See if i can force the appointment into edit mode to show combo
            Dim i As ISelectionManager = sender
            i.SetPivotItem(lobjAppointment, False)
            UltraMonthViewSingle1.PerformAction(Infragistics.Win.UltraWinSchedule.MonthViewSingle.UltraMonthViewSingleAction.EnterEditMode, False, False)
        End If
    End Sub

Hi,
Ok thanks for the help.. Sometimes i'm getting the error:
"Can't access SelectionStart unless the Editor is in edit mode."
on the line:
calMain.PerformAction(Infragistics.Win.UltraWinSchedule.MonthViewSingle.UltraMonthViewSingleAction.EnterEditMode, False, False)

One thing i'm doing is on the BeforeEditAppointment event i'm checking the day of the week and if its a weekend i'm setting the AppointmentEditorControl to be a different combo box.  Do you think this will be affecting it?

Chris

hi,
ok i'm nearly there..  I've still got the issue with swapping the combo editor control depending on the day of week, however if i just use one combo now i've got anothing problem.  I changed it to a dropdownlist however now the text doesn't get put into the appointment.

How would you recommend i handle getting the object value from the combo boxes selected item?  So i can put some text into the appointment and also store the object returned from the combo against the appointment.

Should i use the combo's selected item event and check what appointment is in edit mode and set it that way?  Or is there some event from the monthview control i should be intercepting.

Chris

hi,
wow for such a simple use of a calendar control you don't half have to jump through hoops and tell the control to do some strange things to get something that vaguely works..

Out standing issues:
1.  I need to change the appointment editor combo box depending on the day of week selected.  Doing this on the before appointment edit event sends it crazy.  any other ways of doing it?

2.  Combo boxes as appointment editors really don't work very well.  It gets very confused between datavalue and display text on the combo items valuelist object.  I can code around it, but its odd..  For example when you select an item from the combo it puts the display text into the subject, however that doesn't display on the screen, you have to take the display text and look up the coresponding ID (which is stored in the datavalue property of the valuelistitem and set the subject to be the ID, then the display text shows on the screen in the appointment!?

3.  When the combo drops down and you select an item this does not fire the after edit appointment event till after you have moved off the day.  Even if you loose focus to another form it doesn't trigger.  As my objects are created in the after edit appointment event (as this seems to be the only place it can be done) if somebody drops down the combo, selects an item and clicks the Save button on my form the new selection wont be saved.  As i can't use the combos own events (they dont fire) i need a way that when the item is selected it sets the appointments value and fires the after appointment edit event straight away.

Any clues?  I was expecting this to be an easy task with a decent control set like infragistics :-(

Hello,

I am just checking about the progress of this issue. Did you need any further assistance on this issue?

Let me know if you need any further assistance.

Hello,

Currently you could set one editor for all appointments, and if you change the settings of the editor, this change will reflect on all appointments. I mean if you want to set ultraCombo to use  DropDownList for appointments  from Monday to Friday it will work correctly, but if you set ultraCombo to use  DropDown for appointment for Saturday and Sunday, this will allow you to write a text in the ultraCombo and when you get back using  DropDownList, the written text for the appointment for Saturday and Sunday will disappear, because the editor would not be able to find a match in the list. In other words if you have a written text in the combo and you change its  DropDownStyle the written text will appear or disappear depends on the chosen style. That’s why I have logged a feature request for this to be able to use different editors for each appointment.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Hi,
So what your saying is that although combo boxes can be setup to be used for appointment editors they don't actualy work, and thats a new feature request?  Seems odd to me!

Ok, what about using a creation filter to overlay a combo box when the appointment is being editted so i can actualy respond to the combo events?  Or something along those lines?

Chris
