Context menu in Angular Schedule component
9 Oct 202515 minutes to read
You can display a context menu on scheduler work cells and appointments by using the ContextMenu control manually in the application. In the following code example, the context menu is added in the example and its target is set to the Scheduler component.
On scheduler cells, you can display menu items such as New Event, New Recurring Event, and Today. For appointments, you can display options such as Edit Event and Delete Event. Use the openEditor method of the Scheduler to open the default event window for creating or editing appointments.
The deletion of appointments can be done by using the deleteEvent public method. Also, the selectedDate property can be used to navigate between different dates.
You can also display custom menu options on scheduler cells and appointments. Context menu will open on tap-hold in responsive mode.
