  Is there an easy way to re-sort the contacts of the C1Scheduler on the fly after the scheduler as been loaded? I have a task asking where users need to be able to move the selected contact group column left or right with click of an arrow keyboard key.

  Can this be done or will appointments lose their ownership once the contact group changes?

  Hi Edd,

  After the C1Schedule has been loaded, you can rearrange the order of contacts at runtime using the C1Schedule.DataStorage.ContactStorage.Contacts collection. Please see the attached sample project for reference.

  Hello Kartik,
  
  Thanks for the reply. I used your example to achieve my goal, but I have one problem. When moving a contact column, the contact column that was selected loses focus- as in no longer selected.
  
  I’ve attached a sample project so you can see when you click the MoveRight-button.
  
  Is there a way to reselect that contact column? The C1Schedule.SelectedGroupItem doesn’t allow me to set it.
  
  Any suggestions?

  Regards
  
  Edd

  Hi Edd,

  We could see the behavior you mentioned on our end. We have shared the observations with the development team to get their insights on it and will let you know the updates as soon as possible.

  Kartik, Thank you.
  
  In the meantime, is there a workaround to what I’m trying to perform?

  Also, I was wondering if there was an event for the contact GroupItemSelected? Because then I can just bring up a context menu to move the column left/right.
  
  Any suggestions are welcomed.

  Regards

  Hi Edd,

  As per the development team, the read-only SelectedGroupItem property is currently a limitation of the C1Schedule. The development team has considered this as an enhancement request. Currently, there is no workaround for this.

  Unfortunately, there is no such event in the C1Schedule. To handle your requirement, you can handle the BeforeContextMenuShow event and show your custom ContextMenu with reordering options. Please see the attached sample project for reference (ScheduleContactMove_Reorder.zip).

  Best Regards,

  Thank you Kartik,
  
  this example was the exact workaround I needed. We can work with this until the SelectedGroupItem request gets satisfied. I look forward for that.

  Cheers!
