Accessing Selected Information when triggering ShowAdvancedInsertForm

[Dave]

Hello,

We are looking to access selected scheduler resource "code-behind" when launching a "ShowAdvancedInsertForm".
Is there a method to get the scheduler resource grouped by and injecting it to the Advanced Insert form in Q2_2009 version?

Let's say I have a timeline with 3 rooms grouped by and 5 (open) days slots, how can I preselect in the Advanced form the resource "room x" I selected in day d when triggering the "ShowAdvancedInsertForm" by contextual menu?

Regards,
David

I'm guessing you can use the FormCreated event. You just need to check the form mode "e.Container.Mode == SchedulerFormMode.AdvancedInsert" and then access the controls you want to preselect. You even have access to the appointment object. I don't know if the appointment object will know the resource you selected, but you can check it I guess.

I hope that helps.

Hello,

The suggestion that Robert made is valid. For example:

protected void RadScheduler1_FormCreated(object sender, SchedulerFormCreatedEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Container.Mode == SchedulerFormMode.AdvancedInsert)
    {
        RadComboBox room = e.Container.FindControl("ResUser") as RadComboBox; // Res + resource name
        if (room != null)
        {
            // ...
        }
    }
}

You can also assign a resource in the FormCreating event and it will be selected automatically:

protected void RadScheduler1_FormCreating(object sender, SchedulerFormCreatingEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Mode == SchedulerFormMode.AdvancedInsert)
    {
        Resource room1 = RadScheduler1.Resources.GetResource("Room", 1);
        e.Appointment.Resources.Add(room1);
    }
}

I hope this helps.

All the best,
