Customizing Advanced Form. Adding Custom Controls

[Ekjot]

Hello


I used the tutorial to create my own custom template for the Advanced Form for inserting and updating appointments in the Scheduler. 

One of the resources I have are various a patient that a doctor can schedule an appointment for. This resource is really big so its inefficient putting it in a comboBox and scrolling. Instead I added a RadGrid with filtering so a person can search for a patient easier. I wanted to add code on the selectIndexchanged that would set the subject as the patient selected and also select the appropriate value in the ComboBox based on PatientID. The postback code however doesn't do anything and it just stays empty. Does anyone know how I can get that working or could make a suggestion on a more efficient way to handle this scenario?  

Thanks in advance!

Edit: forgot to post the code I did so far

AdvancedForm.ascx -->added this code in this form

<table>
    <tr>
        <td>Search Patient:
        </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>

Hello,

 
If you want to populate the Subject field of the Advanced Form you will have to override the following definition in the code behind according to your scenario:

[Bindable(BindableSupport.Yes, BindingDirection.TwoWay)]
         public string Subject
         {
              get
              {
                   return SubjectText.Text;
              }

              set
              {
                   SubjectText.Text = value;
              }
         }

Hope this will be helpful.
