Find UpdateButton

[ManniAT]

Hi,

since there is no "readonly appointment" I try to disable the update button in clientFormCreated.

My problem - I can't find it...


Subject works fine - button not...

function clientFormCreated(sender, args) {
    var $ = $telerik.$;
    var mode = args.get_mode();
    if (mode == Telerik.Web.UI.SchedulerFormMode.AdvancedInsert || mode == Telerik.Web.UI.SchedulerFormMode.AdvancedEdit) {
        //var rUpdButton = $telerik.findButton($("[id$='Form_UpdateButton']").attr("id")); //findButton not existing although it shows in intellisense
        var rUpdBJQueryObject = $telerik.$("[id$='Form_UpdateButton']");
        var rUpdBRadButtonObject = $find(rUpdBJQueryObject.attr("id")); //always null

        var rSubject = $telerik.findTextBox($("[id$='Form_Subject']").attr("id"));
        rSubject.disable(); //works

I guess I do something wrong..

Hello ManniAT,

The issue is observed because the Save button in not a Telerik control but an LinkButton and that is why $find is not finding it.

You can use jQuery and prevent the click event of the button as in the code below:

var rUpdBRadButtonObject = $find(rUpdBJQueryObject.attr("id"));
      rUpdBJQueryObject.click(function () {return false;});

Please have in mind that in case of Insert the button have to be found with InsertButton instead of UpdateButton.

Hope this information will be helpful.

Hi Palmen,

I tried your solution - the problem - the user thinks it would work...

I changed it to

var rbObj = $("[id$='Form_UpdateButton']");
            rbObj[0].disabled = true;
            rbObj[0].style.visibility="hidden";

Before I tried only to disable - but the button (although not firing) looks "working" (hover effects and so).

Hello Manfred,

I could not quite understand if you have further questions or the information was enough and  you have handled the issue already.

Hello Plamen,

sorry I forgot to mark this as answered (found a solution with your help).
I just posted to make clear that your approach just shows a "not working button" (which confuses the users) and also posted my final result which hides the button to make clear that save is not possible
