Open editor window on single click

By default, Scheduler Editor window will open when double clicking the cells or appointments. You can also open the editor window with single click by using openEditor method in eventClick and cellClick events of scheduler and setting false to showQuickInfo. The following example shows how to open editor window on single click of cells and appointments.

app.component.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { ScheduleModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-schedule'
import { ButtonModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-buttons'
import { DayService, WeekService, WorkWeekService, MonthService, AgendaService, MonthAgendaService} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-schedule'



import { Component, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
import { EventSettingsModel, ScheduleComponent, CellClickEventArgs, EventClickArgs } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-schedule';
import { schedulerData } from './datasource';

@Component({
imports: [
        
        ScheduleModule,
        ButtonModule
    ],

providers: [DayService, 
                WeekService, 
                WorkWeekService, 
                MonthService,
                AgendaService,
                MonthAgendaService],
standalone: true,
  selector: 'app-root',
  // specifies the template string for the Schedule component
  template: `<ejs-schedule #scheduleObj width='100%' height='550px' [selectedDate]="selectedDate" [eventSettings]="eventSettings" [showQuickInfo]="showQuickInfo" (cellClick)="onCellClick($event)" (eventClick)="onEventClick($event)" > <e-views> <e-view option="Week"></e-view> <e-view option="WorkWeek"></e-view> <e-view option="Month"></e-view> <e-view option="Day"></e-view> </e-views> </ejs-schedule>`
})
export class AppComponent {
    @ViewChild('scheduleObj')
    public scheduleObj?: ScheduleComponent;
    public selectedDate: Date = new Date(2021, 7, 15);
    public eventSettings: EventSettingsModel = { dataSource: schedulerData };
    public showQuickInfo: Boolean = false;
    onCellClick(args: CellClickEventArgs): void {
        this.scheduleObj?.openEditor(args, 'Add');
    }
    onEventClick(args: EventClickArgs): void {
        if (!(args.event as any).RecurrenceRule) {
        this.scheduleObj?.openEditor(args.event, 'Save');
        }
        else {
