[Solved] Add entries to RadComboBox that is in AdvancedEditTemplate

[Curtis]

I am using the RadScheduler control, inside the AdvancedEditTemplate there is a RadComboBox.

The RadComboBox is displaying a list of patients, they will search the list of people and if they can not find the person they need to add them. So they click the button next to it and a window will popup where they enter all the info. How do I refresh the RadComboBox with the newly added patient selected?

Thank you for your help.

Hello,

In such specific scenarios where the advanced form should be with a lot of custom logic we strongly recommend using custom user control as in the Advanced Template on-line demo. I this used control you can implement whatever scenario you need. You can refer to this Code Library where sample runnable projects with such scenarios are provided.

Hope this information will be helpful.
