Questions on UI for ASP.NET AJAX Forum

Hi have used the RadScheduler to setup a small hotel reservations/availability calendar with my rooms down the left hand side and my dates display along the top in Timeline view.

However, I am now stuck. When I click a room and a date to make a new reservation, the only box that appears is a small textbox (which I assume is where you type a subject) with three buttons - Save, Cancel & Options.

When I click on the Options button, a larger new appointment screen appears with a subject field, start time, end time, all day checkbox and a dropdown list with my Rooms.

A few things I am trying to accomplish:

1. When I click a room and date, I would like the new appointment/reservation screen to popup automatically without having to click the options button.
2. I would like to customise this appointment screen by renaming field labels and adding new fields. i.e. I need a drop down list with all the Guests in my system. So I can select the client for the room (which would be the subject I assume).
3. Colour code the appointments/reservations depending on the reservation status set in my database.

Any help appreciated thank you.

Filter Menu Position

Hi all,

I have a grid that is displayed in a screen that is the child of a tab. (I mean that the grid is displayed when the user clicks on the tab.) My problem is that if the grid only returns a small number of rows and the user goes to filter on a column, the filter menu is cut off. Please see attached screen shots. I added one where all the filter options are displayed and I added one where they are cutoff. Is there any way to force the menu to display down from the filter icon? Any other way of accomplishing that I am trying to do?

Thanks,
J. E.

RadComboBox in GridTemplateColumn with EntityDataSource

Hi.

I have a RadComboBox in a GridTemplateColumn's EditTemplate like this:

....

<

telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="Unit.Name" HeaderText="Unit" DataField="Unit.Id"

SortExpression="Unit.Id" ItemStyle-Width="250px">

<ItemTemplate>

<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Unit.Name")%>

</ItemTemplate>

<EditItemTemplate>

<telerik:RadComboBox runat="server" ID="UnitComboBox" EnableLoadOnDemand="True" SelectedValue='<%#Bind("Unit.Id")%>'

DataTextField="Name" DataSourceID="UnitEntityDataSource"

DataValueField="Id" AutoPostBack="true" HighlightTemplatedItems="true" Height="250px" Width="250px" DropDownWidth="600px">

....

The Grid uses one EntityDataSource and the combobox another.

This works perfectly when updating existing rows, but when I insert a new row it crashes with:

DataBinding: 'Telerik.Web.UI.GridInsertionObject' does not contain a property with the name 'Unit'.

I guess this is because Unit is null when I insert a new object and therefore cant resolve Unit.Id.

All the existing solutions recommend that you cancel the insert command and insert a dummy row, this would work if it was a ordinary column, but since its an entity I have to specify the relation, hence Unit.Id and not UnitId (which is the columnname in the grids entitydatasource)

I suspect this is the same problem that FreshOne reported here: Forum link

Ive also tried to behind selectedvalue code behind (trying to distinguish between update and insert) but then no values get updated instead.

Can I clarify my problem further?
Best Regards
N.

Visiblity of context menu

I have a muti-level tree for which I only want the context menus visible at the end node level. How would I go about setting the visiblity to false of the context menu for nodes at levels higher up the tree? The nodes at each level have an attribute called "level", I'm wondering is I need to do this on the client side or if I can do it on the server side.

Thanks
Jonathan

demo editor on .net 2.0 project

I understand the newest version does not support .net 2.0.
I'd like to demo the editor on one of my projects that is a .net 2.0 project. Is there anywhere to download the demo version of previous asp.net ajax packages that include the bin20 folder?

Thanks.

Paragraphs style issues

Hello,

I'm currently facing an issue with paragraphs style / format block.
I try to set pre-defined paragraph style in the format block drop down so I add few lines in my toolsFile.xml.
So far everything works great : I have 4 styles I can apply to any text.
I would like my dropdown items to have their own style applied on them but It doesn't work for some css defined classes.

Here's a snippet of my code :

<paragraphs>
    <paragraph name="<strong>Normal</strong>" value="<P Class='Al'>" />
    <paragraph name="<p Class='Txtrep3'>Niv 1</p>" value="<p Class='Txtrep3'>" />
    <paragraph name="<p Class='Txtrep4'>Niv 2</p>" value="<p Class='Txtrep4'>" />
    <paragraph name="<p Class='Remarque'>Remarque</p>" value="<p Class='Remarque'>" />
</paragraphs>

(I didn't use the format code block because it was totally unreadable)

So for example the first item "Normal" is well-rendered in the dropdown but others haven't got any style applied on them.
I can't figure out what's wrong as it works well when I want to define a style for any selected text.

Any help would be welcome !

Alexandre.

PS : RadEditor is sometimes acting weird, could It be possibly due to the trial version ? We plan on buying 2 licences and I wish this will solve out those strange behavior.
