The users can select a time range using drag and drop. This feature can be used to create new events or copy existing events.

JavaScript

Time range selecting is enabled by default.

The time range is not cleared automatically when the event handler is fired. You can clear it using .clearSelection() method.

<div id="dp"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
  var dp = new DayPilot.Month("dp");
  dp.onTimeRangeSelected = function (args) {
    var name = prompt("New event name:", "Event");
    dp.clearSelection();
    if (!name) return;
    var e = new DayPilot.Event({
        start: args.start,
        end: args.end,
        id: DayPilot.guid(),
        text: name
    });
    dp.events.add(e);
    dp.message("Created");
  };
  // ...
  dp.init();
</script>

ASP.NET WebForms

Time range selecting is disabled by default. You can enable it using TimeRangeSelectedHandling.

Possible TimeRangeSelectedHandling values:

  • CallBack (server-side TimeRangeSelected will be fired immediately using AJAX CallBack)
  • PostBack (server-side TimeRangeSelected will be fired immediately using PostBack) 
  • JavaScript (client-side onTimeRangeSelected event will be fired)
  • Hold (does nothing, keeps the selection active)
  • HoldForever (does nothing, keeps the selection active; survives a PostBack and CallBack)

Persistent time range selection (selection that doesn't fire TimeRangeSelected right after the dragging is finished - TimeRangeSelectedHandling is set to Hold or HoldForever) can be used to display a context menu.
