Parameters

activityType

Indicates the type of activity to create.

errorInfo

If there's an error this will be set to a new DataErrorInfo object with the error information.

Return Value

A new ActivityBase derived object created according to the activityType parameter.

Remarks

CreateActivity creates a new Infragistics.Controls.Schedules.ActivityBase derived object, like Appointment, Journal, or Task. Which activity type to create is specified by the activityType parameter. Note that the created activity doesn't get committed to the data source until EndEdit(ActivityBase,Boolean) method is called. Also if you wish to not commit the created activity then it is necessary to call CancelEdit(ActivityBase,DataErrorInfo) so the activity object can be properly discarded by the the data connector.

Note: CreateNew method is called by the Infragistics.Controls.Schedules.XamScheduleDataManager to create a new Appointment, Journal, or Task object. This is typically done when the user initiates creation of a new activity in one of the calendar view controls. If the user commits the appointment then EndEdit method is called to commit the activity. If the user cancels the activity creation then CancelEdit method is called to discard the activity object.
