RecurrenceRangeControl sets editor values differently than they are set in MS Outlook when RecurrenceInfo's start date is changed

created 9 years ago

Hello,

I have a question in the WPF scheduler control. While editing a recurring appointment, changing the start date is changing the end by date. Is there a good and easy way to prevent it from happening? I captured a short video, describing the problem and comparing it with the Outlook behavior.
Can you please go through it and suggest us a solution to achieve a behavior similar to that of outlook?

Thanks,
Venu

    Hello Venu,
    It seems that RecurrenceRangeControl sets editor values differently than they are set in MS Outlook when RecurrenceInfo's start date is changed. I have passed this issue to our R&D team for further research. Please watch for our updates.

    As a workaround, you can create a custom recurrence form without RecurrenceRangeControl. I mean using the standalone controls instead of this control and setting RecurrenceInfo manually according to the control values in this case. Please refer to the following article to get more information: How to: Create a Custom Appointment Recurrence Form.

      Thanks Maria, I will wait for your developers to respond.
      Thanks,
      Venu
