    Dragging a series

     Can you drag a series in the scheduler to a new time? I am working on an irrigation application that lets the user create a start time for their stations, and allow them to adjust it either earlier or later.

    Please can anyone answer this for me? Is this capable at all? I know that I can drag an instance of an appointment, but what about a series?

    Re: Dragging a series

    Hello Nathan,

    To change the start time of the entire series of recurring appointments, double-click any recurring appointment, then click the Recurrence button in the invoked editor, and change any properties of the recurrence pattern. Since this dialog allows you to change properties of the recurrence pattern, this will be in effect for all recurring appointments in a series.

    However, it's impossible to change the start time simply via a drag&drop operation. If you wish this feature to be added in the future, you're free to post a suggestion to our Support Center at http://www.devexpress.com/sc.

    Hi Nathan,

    Do you mean appointment reoccurrences? If so, please refer to the "Recurring Appointments and Exceptions" article in the XtraScheduler help system for an overview of appointments' recurrence series.
    The solution doesn't seem to be easy to implement. When the appointment is dragged, it generates the AppointmentDrag event. To catch the moment when the appointment is dropped, you may handle, for example,  the AppointmentChanged event of the SchedulerStorage object. Then you can create a new appointment of the AppointmentType.Pattern type and specify its RecurrenceInfo settings, or modify the pattern of the existing recurrent series. There could be different scenarios depending on a particular task you are trying to accomplish. Please visit our Support Center at http://www.devexpress.com/Support/Center and attach a sample project to receive direct assistance from our Support Team.

     Thank you both. This was the only issue that I was curious about. I have been researching these types of plugins but I wasn't sure if it would meet my requirements, and yours is the one that meets all the specs. Thanks again!
