Help on Multiple Resources/Customized Calendar

good day!

i am currently evaluating the latest version of the xtremesuite,
and this will be my first time using the calendar control. i have
spent the last two days reading almost all of the post here in
calendar pro sections and im really happy that the control is not
that hard to use at all. i just have a question how to customize
the calendar control.

i have two events table, the first one is the employees schedules
(work time and dayoffs/breaks, both recurring) and the other one is
the appointment schedules. i have attached an image to easily visualize
what im trying to accomplish. basically what i wanted to do is to
customized the appointments calendars so that the time blocks from the
employees schedules (which is marked in red (dayoffs/breaks))
will not be available (or be marked with black) in the appointments
table or will not accept any events.

what is the best way of doing it? im finding it hard because the
employees schedules are recurring events.

any help on this is very much appreciated. thanks.

 

thanks wlcabral!

the BeforeEditOperation event was the one needed to prevent creating new events on the calendar. My only problem now is how to paint the schedules calendars with black based on the employees schedules painted in red? the events on the employees schedule are recurring events.

i think the solution lies within the BeforeDrawDayViewCell event. unfortunately i tried running the calendar sample and that event wasnt even fired so i dont know when to put codes there. and also my conditions will be based on the recurring events from employees schedule.

can you give me an idea on how to accomplish this? i hope you have some time to spare.

thanks!

it is not the background color of the event im after.. its the background of the cell.

you are right, the BeforeDrawDayViewCell is not being fired under office2007 theme. is there a workaround?

thanks again.

thanks for your reply dentor.

but is there a way to to personalize/customize cell drawing after the office2007 theme has been applied? i wanted to personalize the cells after i have added the resources.

if its not possible, is there also a way to get the date arrays of the recurring events? maybe i can just use these date arrays to personalize the cells.  i just dont know how to get the date arrays of the recurring events.
