Custom Resource - hide from user

[Tom Kaminski]

I am developing a site that handles content based on the domain name requested.  Code in global.asax assigns a DeptID based on the domain.  In using the scheduler, I only want to show/handle appointments for this DeptID.  I think I need to treat this like a custom resource - but how do I implement that?  I see how the documentation handles Rooms and Users, but I don't want to expose DeptID for the user to make a choice, and all appointments need to be filtered/inserted/updated for this DeptID only.

Hello Tom,

You can hide the resource dropdown and label in the advanced form using the following kb article:
http://www.telerik.com/support/kb/aspnet-ajax/scheduler/how-to-access-controls-in-the-advanced-form.aspx

Here is the specific code for your case:

protected void RadScheduler2_FormCreated(object sender, SchedulerFormCreatedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Container.Mode == SchedulerFormMode.AdvancedEdit || e.Container.Mode == SchedulerFormMode.AdvancedInsert)
        {
            RadComboBox resComboBox = e.Container.FindControl("ResDeptID") as RadComboBox;
            resComboBox.Visible = false;

            WebControl resLabel = e.Container.FindControl("LblResDeptID") as WebControl;
            resLabel.Controls.Clear();
        }
    }

Kind regards,

Thanks Peter!

I'm actually learning how to customize the advanced template.

Hi Tom,

I can see where the confusion comes from. Just to clarify, the help topic which you have seen shows how to use templates to customize the advanced form, while the kb article I referred you to, shows how to customize the default advanced form. Anyway, I am glad to learn that this is sorted out for you.
