I have a requirement to design our own custom add/edit template form for scheduler control.
I looked at custom edit form example and found very helpful, However this example does not demonstrate how to use RecurrenceEditor and use them in custom template.
At the moment start and end times effectively "round" to the nearest half an hour. This can give the impression of events overlapping when they do not
e.g.
Admin edit: This feature would be similar to the Exact Time Rendering in our WebForms suite: https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/scheduler/examples/exacttimerendering/defaultcs.aspx
I'm in the same situation as the OP in this post: https://www.telerik.com/forums/how-do-you-always-edit-series-when-editing-a-recurring-appointment
In my case, I'm working with with the Blazor Scheduler Component. How can I disable the prompt and automatically select "Edit the series"? Or at least "disable" the "Edit this occurrence" button when updating/deleting an appointment?

ADMIN EDIT
Note: You may also check the Differentiate "edit current occurrence" and "edit the series" in the RecurrenceDialog feature request as the implementation of both features will most likely be covered in one release.
Please comment with suggestions on how you would like to see this feature exposed. Ideally it might have to be dynamic so you can toggle it based on conditions, so perhaps it could be a parameter (not flexible), an event argument to OnEdit, or a separate event/setting.
Here is a sample code you can try to achieve this - comments in the code explain how the templates are used to capture the edit action and some JS is used to fake-click the button to simulate a user choice:
@inject IJSRuntime _jsInterop
@* this errors suppression is a hack to make this sample succinct
move this script to a proper place for a real app*@
<script suppress-error="BL9992">
function clickSchedulerPromptButton(btnIndex) {
setTimeout(function () {
var buttons = document.querySelectorAll(".k-window-content .text-right button");
if (buttons && buttons.length >= btnIndex) {
var chosenButton = buttons[btnIndex];
chosenButton.click();
}
}, 50);
}
</script>
@* appearance setting for the template - make the custom template tall as the appointment to capture all clicks *@
<style>
.tallAppt {
height: 100%;
}
</style>

Is there a way to customize the resource grouping's header (i.e. Alex, Bob, Charlie)? I understand it displays the text from the Resource, but I would like to be able to customize the HTML displayed so that I can add a tooltip. Would you have a suggestion as to how I can accomplish this?
I have a scheduler, and am using a custom Edit handler. I need to support recurrence, and editing recurring events. When the use double-clicks on a recurring event, there is a dialog that asks whether they would like to edit the occurrence or the entire series.
I want to be able to capture the results of this dialog. `SchedulerEditEventArgs` doesn't include any attributes that track this.
===========
ADMIN EDIT
===========
The implementation of this enhancement could be covered by either including the corresponding attributes in the SchedulerEditEventArgs or by exposing a Template for the RecurrenceDialog.
Note: You may also check the Ability to directly edit an occurence or the series, without the prompt asking you to choose feature request as the implementation of both features will most likely be covered in one release.
I don't want this feature and I would like to hide this button.
At the moment, CSS like this can do the job, but this should be a parameter on the component or the particular view.
.no-businesshours .k-scheduler-footer {
display:none;
}
<div class="no-businesshours">
<TelerikScheduler Data="@Appointments" @bind-Date="@StartDate" @bind-View="@CurrView" Height="600px" Width="800px">
<SchedulerViews>
<SchedulerDayView StartTime="@DayStart" />
<SchedulerWeekView StartTime="@DayStart" />
<SchedulerMultiDayView StartTime="@DayStart" NumberOfDays="10" />
</SchedulerViews>
</TelerikScheduler>
</div>
I am really looking to try to do something like this in Blazor: ASP.NET MVC Scheduler Hierarchical Grouping Demo | Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC
In MVC, this feature is implemented with the dataParentValueField.
If the Scheduler is placed in a parent container (for example Telerik Splitter or any other container) its appointments are not resized when resizing the pane. The Scheduler itself resizes accordingly, but the appointments don't.
Our current implementation of the JQuery version of the scheduler uses custom views. I understand that custom views are going to be a difficult if not impossible task for Blazor rendering. The goal for our custom view is simple, we override the calculateDateRange function to supply an ordered date range that allows us to have a "TimelineTwoWorkWeekView", thus showing Monday-Friday then Monday-Friday again. We also had a use case that was never implemented but would be addressed the same way; to show all "mondays this month".
Therefore, the request is a "TimelineCollectionView", displaying a timeline view for dates specified in an IEnumerable<DateTime>.
Any other ideas or feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Currently, you can only initiate editing/creating of an appointment in the Scheduler on double click. I'd like to be able to trigger these operations on single click.
It will be nice to have EditOn parameter to allow choosing if editing/creating will fire on single or double click of an appointment/slot.
I want to add more fields to the scheduler create/edit popup. Currently, this is possible by creating a custom edit form. However, this customization would be easier if the Scheduler exposed a Popup Form Template similar to the Grid.
===
ADMIN EDIT

A necessary prerequisite for exposing this is to first add a State feature in the Scheduler. This will allow programmatic control over the edited item.
I want to be able to limit the Scheduler to a minimum and/or maximum date.

This request could be revised in two separate tracks:
Please share your thoughts on how you'd expect it to be implemented.
is it possible to drag between hours to create a new appointment like in the attached recording?
The following date in the Scheduler RecurrenceRule cannot be parsed and is ignored:
RecurrenceRule = "FREQ=DAILY;UNTIL=20210722T000000"
According to the RFC5545 specification, this should be a valid date format.
These formats will work:
RecurrenceRule = "FREQ=DAILY;UNTIL=2021-07-22T00:00:00"
RecurrenceRule = "FREQ=DAILY;UNTIL=2021-07-22T00:00:00.000Z"
EDIT:
This is my work-around. It captures the date portion of the UNTIL clause, converts it into the date string style that Telerik can understand, then reassembles the rule stringprivate string TransformRecurrenceRule()
{
const string untilSeparator = "UNTIL=";
var ruleParts = RecurrenceRule.Split(untilSeparator, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
if (ruleParts.Length <= 1)
{
// There was no Until clause to worry about
return RecurrenceRule;
}
// Save the first part of the rule
var ruleBeginning = ruleParts[0];
// Split the date part of the until clause from any following clauses
var remainingClauses = ruleParts[1].Split(';', 2, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
//Save the date part of the until clause
var untilDate = remainingClauses[0];
// Save any following clauses with the `;` replaced
var ruleEnding = "";
if (remainingClauses.Length == 2)
{
ruleEnding = $";{remainingClauses[1]}";
}
// Convert the until date into .net parsable format
const string format = "yyyyMMddTHHmmss";
var date = DateTime.ParseExact(untilDate, format, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
var dateStr = date.ToString("yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss");
// recombine rule components
var newRuleParts = new[] {ruleBeginning, untilSeparator, dateStr, ruleEnding};
var newRule = string.Join("",newRuleParts);
return newRule;
}
I would like an indicator of the current time in the scheduler that updates itself (as often as every minute) without the need to reload the page. Like in the Reach suite: https://www.telerik.com/kendo-react-ui/components/scheduler/views/day/#toc-current-time-marker
