How to take the date automatically from the xtrascheduler to an other form

Question

I am using devexpress xtrascheduler in that i need to get the date n the next form while clickin on a particular date on the xtrascheduler

for example if i am clicking on a cell having date 02-06-2010 then when an other form is opening it shud take that date...Is it possible..

Answer 1

Yes of course it is possible. Just take xtrascheduler value before opening new page, and set DateTime date;

Go to other form's code. you have a line like

public MyForm()
{
InitializeComponents();
}

add this lines too, and declare a variable at global, and set it to incoming date like,

DateTime incomingDate = new DateTime(); // This is in the global

public MyForm(DateTime date)
{
incomingDate = date;
InitializeComponents();
}

so now, when you tried to open your new form, the datetime parameter will be asked like,

MyForm frm = new MyForm(date);
frm.Show();

---------- second way

Form FirstForm = Your main form

Form SecondForm = Your second form which date will be transferred to this form

At form SecondForm:

public SecondForm(FirstForm x) // Request first form to opening
{
InitializeComponents();
}

set your datetime value to a variable in FirstForm. Lets say

// located global of your FirstForm
public DateTime abc = yourDateTime;


declare new FirstForm at SecondForm global like:

    public FirstForm myFirstForm; // this is in the second form global

at this part use this:

public SecondForm(FirstForm x)
{
InitializeComponents();
myFirstForm = x; // So now you can reach myFirstForm.abc which is your dateTime
}

just send this parameter in the first form before opening

SecondForm frm = new SecondForm(this);
frm.Show();

namespace HowToAccessSchedulerControl.Module.Win {
   public partial class SchedulerController : ViewController {
      public SchedulerController() {
         InitializeComponent();
         RegisterActions(components);
      }

      private void SchedulerController_Activated(object sender, EventArgs e) {
          if(View.ObjectTypeInfo.Implements<IEvent>())
            View.ControlsCreated += new EventHandler(View_ControlsCreated);
      }
      void View_ControlsCreated(object sender, EventArgs e) {
         // Access the current List View
         ListView view = (ListView)View;
         // Access the View's List Editor as a SchedulerListEditor
         SchedulerListEditor listEditor = (SchedulerListEditor)view.Editor;
         //  Access the List Editor's SchedulerControl  
         SchedulerControl scheduler = listEditor.SchedulerControl;
         // Set the desired time to be visible
         if (scheduler != null)
            scheduler.Views.DayView.VisibleTime =
               new TimeOfDayInterval(new TimeSpan(6, 0, 0), new TimeSpan(11, 0, 0));
      }
   }
}
