@using Syncfusion.EJ2.Schedule


<div>
    <ejs-button id="btn1" content="Click to open Editor"></ejs-button>
    <ejs-button id="btn2" content="Click to open Event Editor"></ejs-button>
</div>
<div>
    <ejs-schedule id="schedule" height="550" views="@ViewBag.view" selectedDate="new DateTime(2018, 2, 15)">
        <e-schedule-eventsettings dataSource="@ViewBag.datasource"></e-schedule-eventsettings>
    </ejs-schedule>
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
    document.getElementById('btn1').onclick = function () {
        var scheduleObj = document.getElementById('schedule').ej2_instances[0];
        var cellData = {
            startTime: new Date(2018, 1, 15, 10, 0),
            endTime: new Date(2018, 1, 15, 11, 0),
        };
        scheduleObj.openEditor(cellData, 'Add');
    };
    document.getElementById('btn2').onclick = function () {
        var scheduleObj = document.getElementById('schedule').ej2_instances[0];
        var eventData = {
            Id: 3,
            Subject: 'Meteor Showers in 2018',
            StartTime: new Date(2018, 1, 14, 13, 0),
            EndTime: new Date(2018, 1, 14, 14, 30)
        };
        scheduleObj.openEditor(eventData, 'Save');
    };

public ActionResult Index()
{
    ViewBag.datasource = GetScheduleData();
    List<ScheduleView> viewOption = new List<ScheduleView>()
    {
        new ScheduleView { Option = Syncfusion.EJ2.Schedule.View.Day },
        new ScheduleView { Option = Syncfusion.EJ2.Schedule.View.Week },
        new ScheduleView { Option = Syncfusion.EJ2.Schedule.View.WorkWeek },
        new ScheduleView { Option = Syncfusion.EJ2.Schedule.View.Month }
    };
    ViewBag.view = viewOption;
    return View();
}

public List<AppointmentData> GetScheduleData()
{
    List<AppointmentData> appData = new List<AppointmentData>();
    appData.Add(new AppointmentData
    { Id = 1, Subject = "Blue Moon Eclipse", StartTime = new DateTime(2018, 2, 13, 9, 30, 0), EndTime = new DateTime(2018, 2, 13, 11, 0, 0) });
    appData.Add(new AppointmentData
    { Id = 2, Subject = "Milky Way as Melting pot", StartTime = new DateTime(2018, 2, 15, 9, 30, 0), EndTime = new DateTime(2018, 2, 15, 11, 0, 0) });

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.

@using Syncfusion.EJ2.Schedule

<ejs-schedule id="schedule" height="550" showQuickInfo="false" cellClick="onCellClick" eventClick="onEventClick" selectedDate="new DateTime(2021, 7, 15)">
    <e-schedule-eventsettings dataSource="@ViewBag.appointments">
    </e-schedule-eventsettings>
</ejs-schedule>

<script type="text/javascript">
    function onCellClick(args) {
        var scheduleObj = document.querySelector('.e-schedule').ej2_instances[0];
        scheduleObj.openEditor(args, 'Add');
    }
    function onEventClick(args) {
        var scheduleObj = document.querySelector('.e-schedule').ej2_instances[0];

        if (!(args.event).RecurrenceRule) {
            scheduleObj.openEditor(args.event, 'Save');
        }
        else {
            scheduleObj.quickPopup.openRecurrenceAlert();
        }
    }
</script>
public ActionResult Index()
{
    ViewBag.appointments = GetScheduleData();
    return View();
}

public List<AppointmentData> GetScheduleData()
{
    List<AppointmentData> appData = new List<AppointmentData>();
    appData.Add(new AppointmentData
    {
        Id = 1,
        Subject = "Paris",
        StartTime = new DateTime(2021, 7, 15, 10, 0, 0),
        EndTime = new DateTime(2021, 7, 15, 12, 30, 0)
    });
    return appData;
}

public class AppointmentData
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Subject { get; set; }
    public DateTime StartTime { get; set; }
    public DateTime EndTime { get; set; }
}
