Is there a way to use a right-click to cut and then paste an appointment to another date/time?

You can handle standard mouse notifications and use CalendarControl.CalendarView.HitTest function to show popup menu. We do have a sample code in our examples of such implementation.

Then use CalendarControl.CalendarView.Cut/Copy/Paste methods. See also CanCut/CanCopy/CanPaste properties.

Thanks for the info.
 
However, I am still stuggling with this.
 
I've used the code from:
If Not HitTest.ViewEvent Is Nothing Then
        Set ContextEvent = HitTest.ViewEvent.Event
        Me.PopupMenu mnuContexEditEvent
        Set ContextEvent = Nothing
    ElseIf (HitTest.HitCode = xtpCalendarHitTestDayViewTimeScale) Then
        Me.PopupMenu mnuContextTimeScale
    Else
        Me.PopupMenu mnuContextNewEvent
    End If
 
to have the popup show up. Added a 'cut appointment' to the menu as well as: mnuCutAppt_click
 
However, I am stuck there. tried a few things such as: CalendarControl.DayView.Cut ContextEvent
and CalendarControl.ActiveView.CanCut = True (error).
 
Please help!!!!!  I am desperate. I have to show a prototype soon!
 
thanks!!!

Hello,
 
Here's the instructions I use to make 'Cut/Copy/Paste' working:
 
select case Mode
  Case "Cut"
  If Calendar.ActiveView.CanCut Then Calendar.ActiveView.Cut
 Case "Copy"
  If Calendar.ActiveView.CanCopy Then Calendar.ActiveView.Copy
 Case "Paste"
  If Calendar.ActiveView.CanPaste Then Calendar.ActiveView.Paste
end select

Also note that Cut/Copy/Paste work with selected events.

Add a validation whether selection is empty. If so, select a context event before calling Cut/Copy/Paste.

Hello,
 
The code is place in response of the context (popup) menu:
 
Private Sub ContextMenu_Click(Index As Integer)
    Select Case Index
        Case 0: ' Cut
                If Calendar.ActiveView.CanCut Then Calendar.ActiveView.Cut
        Case 1: ' Copy
                If Calendar.ActiveView.CanCopy Then Calendar.ActiveView.Copy
        Case 2: ' Paste
                If Calendar.ActiveView.CanPaste Then Calendar.ActiveView.Paste
    End Select
End Sub
 
As Serge said, to cut or copy an event, the event must be selected first.

Hello,
 
To be sure an event is pointed and to select it automatically, you can also write:
 
Private Sub ContextMenu_Click(Index As Integer)
Dim HitTest As CalendarHitTestInfo
    Set HitTest = Calendar.ActiveView.HitTest
    Select Case Index
        Case 0: ' Cut
                If Not HitTest.ViewEvent Is Nothing Then
                     HitTest.ViewEvent.Selected = True
                     If Calendar.ActiveView.CanCut Then Calendar.ActiveView.Cut
                End If
        Case 1: ' Copy
                If Not HitTest.ViewEvent Is Nothing Then
                     HitTest.ViewEvent.Selected = True
                     If Calendar.ActiveView.CanCopy Then Calendar.ActiveView.Copy
                 End If
        Case 2: ' Paste
                If Calendar.ActiveView.CanPaste Then Calendar.ActiveView.Paste
    End Select
End Sub

Hello,
 
Not so cold in France this week
 
I think you are searching the way to insert a context menu on Calendar control. You can use the ContextMenu event of Clendar Control
 
Private Sub Calendar_ContextMenu(ByVal X As Single, ByVal Y As Single)
Dim HitTest As CalendarHitTestInfo
 
    Set HitTest = Calendar.ActiveView.HitTest
   
    If Not HitTest.ViewEvent Is Nothing Then
          ' *** Context Menu of existing event where you can place Cut/Copy/Paste an event    
    ElseIf (HitTest.HitCode = xtpCalendarHitTestDayViewTimeScale) Then
          ' *** Context Menu of the Time Scale if any
    Else
          ' *** Context Menu of inserting a new event where you can place 'Paste an event'       
    End If
End Sub
Hope this will help you.

Dentor,
 
thanks so much for taking the time to put that together.
 
Actually, I was successful in create the pop-up menu itself.
 
I am stuck on what to do then.
My plan is to use this in a physician's office and I want my users to be able to cut/paste an appointment when the patient calls and reschedules.... does this make sense and is feasible?

Hello,
 
Your project is perfectly feasible. You can put these three buttons (Cut/Copy/Paste) in a toolbar or in a popup menu (as in the sample program I send you in the precedent message).
 
To test the sample, you can insert an appointement, right-clic it, choose 'Cut', and then insert it anywhere else by right-clicking and choose 'Paste'.
 
Does the sample program works for you ?

the sample works fine, thanks again for that!!!
 
I am just really stumped by the steps after you click the 'Cut appointment"
 
in the sample I DL from CodeJock, I can't even seem to get the toolbar cut to work....
 
what am I missing?

As the method Calendar.ActiveView.Cut works with the selected appointment, you must be sure the appointment right-clicked is really selected.
 
So you get the lines of program that must be in the Sub 'ContextEdit_Click()' : (because HitTest property has a value only in this sub)
 
Private Sub ContextEdit_Click()
Dim HitTest As CalendarHitTestInfo
    Set HitTest = Calendar.ActiveView.HitTest
 
    If Not HitTest.ViewEvent Is Nothing Then
          HitTest.ViewEvent.Selected = True
    End If
End Sub
 
After you click the 'Cut Appointment' menu :
 
Private Sub mnuCutAppt_Click()
    If Calendar.ActiveView.CanCut Then Calendar.ActiveView.Cut
End Sub
 
Then you cut the appointment selected.

Great, thanks!
 
How do you set: Calendar.ActiveView.Cut??
 
I've tried
Calendar.ActiveView.Cut = true in my code but got an error.

Hello,
 
Calendar is the name of CalendarControl, and 'Cut' is a method, not a property, with no parameter, so the right instruction is:
 
Calendar.ActiveView.Cut
 
You can add the CanCut property (this property is true if you can Cut an appointment), that makes:
 
If Calendar.ActiveView.CanCut Then Calendar.ActiveView.Cut
 
This is the same with the 'Copy', or 'Paste' methods:
 
If Calendar.ActiveView.CanCopy Then Calendar.ActiveView.Copy
If Calendar.ActiveView.CanPaste Then Calendar.ActiveView.Paste
 
Good Week end

So, I am still missing something.
 
Here is what I have for CalendarControl_ContextMenu:
 
Private Sub CalendarControl_ContextMenu(ByVal x As Single, ByVal y As Single)
    Debug.Print "On context menu"
   
    Dim HitTest As CalendarHitTestInfo
    Set HitTest = CalendarControl.ActiveView.HitTest
   
    If Not HitTest.ViewEvent Is Nothing Then
        Set ContextEvent = HitTest.ViewEvent.Event
        Me.PopupMenu mnuContexEditEvent
        Set ContextEvent = Nothing
    ElseIf (HitTest.HitCode = xtpCalendarHitTestDayViewTimeScale) Then
        Me.PopupMenu mnuContextTimeScale
    Else
        Me.PopupMenu mnuContextNewEvent
    End If
End Sub
 
as well as this:
 
 
Private Sub ContextEdit_Click()
Dim HitTest As CalendarHitTestInfo
    Set HitTest = CalendarControl.ActiveView.HitTest
 
    If Not HitTest.ViewEvent Is Nothing Then
          HitTest.ViewEvent.Selected = True
    End If
End Sub
then I have the menu named ContextMenu and the following:
 
 
Private Sub ContextMenu_Click(Index As Integer)
    Select Case Index
       
        Case 0: ' Cut
                'CalendarControl.ActiveView.CanCut
                'If CalendarControl.ActiveView.CanCut Then
                CalendarControl.ActiveView.Cut
        Case 1: ' Copy
                If CalendarControl.ActiveView.CanCopy Then CalendarControl.ActiveView.Copy
        Case 2: ' Paste
                If CalendarControl.ActiveView.CanPaste Then CalendarControl.ActiveView.Paste
    End Select
End Sub
 
 
what am I still missing?????????

Hello,
 
You are almost right, just one or two lines missing.
 
 
To this sub, I just add one line of code:
 
Private Sub CalendarControl_ContextMenu(ByVal x As Single, ByVal y As Single)
    Debug.Print "On context menu"
   
    Dim HitTest As CalendarHitTestInfo
    Set HitTest = CalendarControl.ActiveView.HitTest
   
    If Not HitTest.ViewEvent Is Nothing Then
        HitTest.ViewEvent.Selected = True '  *** is missing
        Set ContextEvent = HitTest.ViewEvent.Event
        Me.PopupMenu mnuContexEditEvent
        Set ContextEvent = Nothing
    ElseIf (HitTest.HitCode = xtpCalendarHitTestDayViewTimeScale) Then
        Me.PopupMenu mnuContextTimeScale
    Else
        Me.PopupMenu mnuContextNewEvent
    End If
End Sub
 
This sub can be dropped (not necessary, because the code is already and must be, put in the CalendarControl_ContextMenu):
 
Private Sub ContextEdit_Click()
Dim HitTest As CalendarHitTestInfo
    Set HitTest = CalendarControl.ActiveView.HitTest
 
    If Not HitTest.ViewEvent Is Nothing Then
          HitTest.ViewEvent.Selected = True
    End If
End Sub
 
I correct just one case (0=Cut) of the select case:
 
Private Sub ContextMenu_Click(Index As Integer)
    Select Case Index
       
        Case 0: ' Cut
                If CalendarControl.ActiveView.CanCut Then CalendarControl.ActiveView.Cut ' *** Corrected
        Case 1: ' Copy
                If CalendarControl.ActiveView.CanCopy Then CalendarControl.ActiveView.Copy
        Case 2: ' Paste
                If CalendarControl.ActiveView.CanPaste Then CalendarControl.ActiveView.Paste
    End Select
End Sub
Hope this will help you.

Hello Dixie,
 
You're right, to paste an appointment at the right-clicked location, you must make sure the cell is selected.
 
So the sub 'CalendarControl_ContextMenu' must be modify to do the job:
(two lines added)
 
Private Sub CalendarControl_ContextMenu(ByVal x As Single, ByVal y As Single)
    Debug.Print "On context menu"
   
    Dim HitTest As CalendarHitTestInfo
    Set HitTest = CalendarControl.ActiveView.HitTest
   
    If Not HitTest.ViewEvent Is Nothing Then
        HitTest.ViewEvent.Selected = True
        Set ContextEvent = HitTest.ViewEvent.Event
        Me.PopupMenu mnuContexEditEvent
        Set ContextEvent = Nothing
    ElseIf (HitTest.HitCode = xtpCalendarHitTestDayViewTimeScale) Then
        Me.PopupMenu mnuContextTimeScale
    Elseif HitTest.TimePartValid Then ' *** added to test location of cell clicked
        ' *** Make sure the cell right-clicked is selected
        CalendarControl.ActiveView.SetSelection HitTest.HitDateTime, DateAdd("n", Calendar.ActiveView.TimeScale, HitTest.HitDateTime), False
        Me.PopupMenu mnuContextNewEvent
    End If
End Sub
 
 
I think this solve the Paste case.

Dentor,
 
Once again, my thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for!
 
One small piece I forgot to mention- I am using a multi-resource schedule and so when I paste the appt, it shows up in the left most resources' column and not the one that was right-clicked.
 
Can you help?

1. Use latest demo from codejock. Buttons on toolbar work.

NOTE 1.
When you left-click on event -- subject editing is started.
Buttons are disabled because no text is selected, otherwise Cut/Copy/Paste works with subject editor text (not with the event).
 
NOTE 2.
You can easily disable start subject editing by left-click.
See menu Calendar->Advanced options.
 
SetSelection function is outdated. Use CalendarView.Selection property.
 
Just add string:
CalendarControl.ActiveView.Selection.GroupIndex = HitTest.ViewGroup.GroupIndex
 
Also, please look at calendar properties in object browser.

Serge
