schedule.OnAppointmentLoadedEvent not working

[Russell Demastus]

I am trying to do the example where it adds a button to the month cell when an appointment is loaded but it never fires off the event.

 // add event handler for appointments
            schedule.OnAppointmentLoadedEvent += Schedule_OnAppointmentLoadedEvent;

           

        void Schedule_OnAppointmentLoadedEvent(object sender, AppointmentLoadedEventArgs args)
        {
            Button button = new Button();
            button.BackgroundColor = Color.Green;
            button.Text = "appt";
            args.view = button;

        } 

scheduleAppointmentCollection.Add(new ScheduleAppointment()
                {
                    StartTime = myduedate,
                    EndTime = myduedate,
                    Subject = "Litter Due",
                    Location = "Duedate",

                });

Any reason adding the new appointment wouldnt call my event handler?

I am using the latest VS, Xamarin Forms and SfSchedule.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Russell, 

  

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion Support. 

  

In SfSchedule Monthview, appointments are not viewed in the month cell instead appointment indicators alone are drawn in Xamarin Forms.Thus AppointmentLoaded event will not be fired in month view.Your requirement of adding custom view(button) to month cell when appointment is loaded can be achieved using MonthCellLoaded event.We have prepared a simple sample for the same, in which button is loaded for appointments added in the month cell.Kindly find the sample from the below link 

  

Sample:  MonthCell_Customization
 

  

You can also refer our online user guide documentation for customizing month cell from below link,

Your sample MonthCell_Customization-2049365571.zip has a significant bug in  Schedule_OnMonthCellLoadedEvent

                foreach (var item in appointments)
                {
                    Button button = new Button();
                    button.Text = (item as ScheduleAppointment).Subject;
                    button.BackgroundColor = Color.Blue;
                    button.TextColor = Color.White;
                    e.view = button;  // repeatedly replaces the entire view with a single button
                }

Hi Andy, 

 

Sorry for the inconvenience caused. 

 

We have modified the below mentioned sample, such that custom view for appointments is not repeatedly set in the MonthCellLoaded event, only the appointment text will be changed accordingly. Kindly find the modified sample below, 

 

Sample:  ScheduleForms
