Set Dragging Time

[MikeD]

Hello,

   I am trying to set the SFSchedule in my Xamarin.Forms app to be able to drag and drop an appointment.  The drag and drop feature works, however, it moves the appointment in 1 minute increments, I would like to set the increment to 15 minutes however in the AppointmentDragOver event the arg e.DraggingTime is read only.  Any help you can provide would be appreciated.

Hi MikeD, 

 

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support. 

 

Based on provided information your requirement of “increasing the appointment dragging time to 15mins in AppointmentDragOver method” can be achieved in sample level by enabling ShowTimeIndicatorproperty schedule in AppointmentDragOver method. InAppointmentDrop method we have set the StartTime and EndTime value based on the drop time of the appointment. We have prepared the simple sample for the same. 

 

Code Snippet: 

      schedule.AppointmentDragOver += Schedule_AppointmentDragOver; 

        private void Schedule_AppointmentDragOver(object sender, AppointmentDragEventArgs e) 

        { 

            schedule.DragDropSettings.ShowTimeIndicator = ((e.DraggingTime.Minute % 15) == 0); 

        } 

  

 

 schedule.AppointmentDrop += SfSchedule_AppointmentDrop; 

 private void SfSchedule_AppointmentDrop(object sender, AppointmentDropEventArgs e) 

        { 

            var time = e.DropTime; 

            var remainder = time.Minute % 15; 

            var appointment = e.Appointment as ScheduleAppointment; 

            var appointmentDuration = appointment.EndTime - appointment.StartTime; 

  

            if (remainder != 0) 

            { 

                e.DropTime = (remainder < 7) ? time.AddMinutes(-remainder) : time.AddMinutes(15 - remainder); 

                appointment.StartTime = e.DropTime; 

                appointment.EndTime = e.DropTime.AddHours(appointmentDuration.Hours); 

            } 

        } 

  

We have attached sample for your reference,

Thank you, that did it! I modified your code a little to better suit my logic.

        void Schedule_AppointmentDragOver(object sender, AppointmentDragEventArgs e)
        {

                                                          //We are limiting the appointments to increments of 15 minutes for the drag and drop so TimeIndicator only shows 00, 15, 30, 45
            Schedule.DragDropSettings.ShowTimeIndicator = ((e.DraggingTime.Minute % 15) == 0);
        }

        void Schedule_AppointmentDrop(object sender, AppointmentDropEventArgs e)
        {
            ScheduleAppointment appointment = e.Appointment as ScheduleAppointment;

                              //Get the index of the modified appoint in the collection

            int ind = collection.IndexOf(appointment);                

                              //We are limiting the appointments to increments of 15 minutes for the drag and drop

                             int newTime = Convert.ToInt16(Math.Floor(e.DropTime.Minute / 15.0) * 15.0);

            TimeSpan appointmentDuration = appointment.EndTime - appointment.StartTime;

                              //subtract current start time from current start time which makes zero then add newTime (minutes)
            appointment.StartTime = appointment.StartTime.AddMinutes(-appointment.StartTime.Minute + newTime);
            appointment.EndTime = appointment.StartTime + appointmentDuration;
                             //update the collection            

                             collection[ind] = appointment;
        }
