Using SfSchedule Commands

1. Create a WinRT application and add the SfSchedule control to it. Now create Buttons to perform commands in the click event as in the following code example.

XAML

<Page.Resources>
        <Style TargetType="Button" >
            <Setter Property="Background" Value="Red"></Setter>
            <Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Center"></Setter>
            <Setter Property="Width" Value="150"></Setter>            
         </Style> 
    </Page.Resources>
    <Grid Background="White">
        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition Height="*"></RowDefinition>
            <RowDefinition Height="0.1*"></RowDefinition>
        </Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <syncfusion:SfSchedule ScheduleType="Month" x:Name="schedule"></syncfusion:SfSchedule>
        <StackPanel Grid.Row="1" Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Center">
            <Button Content="Add"  Name="add" Click="add_Click"></Button>
            <Button Content="Edit" Name="edit" Click="edit_Click"></Button>
            <Button Content="Delete"  Name="delete" Click="delete_Click" ></Button>
            <Button Content="Copy"  Name="copy" Click="copy_Click"> </Button>
            <Button Content="Paste" Name="paste" Click="paste_Click_1" ></Button>
            <Button Content="DragAndDrop" Name="drag_drop" Click="drag_drop_Click" ></Button>           
        </StackPanel>
    </Grid>
</Page>

2. Now add the SfSchedule commands in the click event as follows.

private void add_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    ScheduleCommands.AddNewCommand.Execute(this.schedule);
}
private void edit_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    ScheduleCommands.EditCommand.Execute(this.schedule);
}
private void copy_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    ScheduleCommands.CopyCommand.Execute(this.schedule);
}
private void paste_Click_1(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    ScheduleCommands.PasteCommand.Execute(this.schedule);
}
private void delete_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    ScheduleCommands.DeleteCommand.Execute(this.schedule);
}        
private void drag_drop_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    ScheduleCommands.DragAndDropCommand.Execute(this.schedule);
}
