[Solved] Adding delete button to AdvancedEditForm

[Mikko Mertanen]

Hi

I would like to add a delete button on AdvancedEditForm of the Scheduler. I have update and cancel buttons on the form now and they work nicely. But I would like to add delete there, so I could delete the appointment being edited and then return back to the calendar view. How should I do it so it would have the same functionality as clicking the red 'x' on an appointment from the calendar view? It should display the confirmation dialog and take care of the recurrent appointment deletion and so on.

Hi Mikko Mertanen,

Please find attached a sample project. It uses the deleteAppointmentWithConfirmation method of RadScheduler client object.

Hi

Thank you for the answer! I tried the example code you attached. First we needed to upgrade the dll to newest version. After that I could try testing. Now I still have some problems with the visibility of the confirmation box. When I tried the example code, the confirmation box is displayed "behind" the appointment edit window using IE7. With Firefox the dialog was displayed nicely.
But with our actual project we have <AdvancedForm Modal="false" /> and because of that the confirmation dialog is not visible at all with IE7, Firefox or Chrome. I think it's behind the edit window. The same thing happens with the example code is you change the Modal-setting to false. Do you have any ideas how to get the confirmation box to display on top of other controls?
We have similar problem with the scheduler and our menu. The scheduler is always displayed as topmost control and our menu is hidden behind it. This happens with IE7, but works nicely with IE8, Firefox or Chrome.

Thanks,

Mikko

Hi Mikko Mertanen,

You are right. Let's use another approach then - please change the DeleteAppointment javascript method in AdvancedEditForm.ascx as follows:

function DeleteAppointment()
{
    var scheduler = $find("<%= Owner.ClientID %>");
    var app = scheduler.get_currentAppointment();

    if (confirm("Are you sure you want to delete this appointment?"))
    {
        scheduler.deleteAppointment(app, false);
        scheduler.hideAdvancedForm();
    }

    return false;
}

This will use the standard confirm dialog.
