[Solved] Bind to attribute or retrive form update results

[Steve Kinyon]

I want to use an AdvancedEditTemplate to edit an appoinment entry.  However, I have a custom attribute with it and I don't see an easy way to handle updating the attribute.  How do I do one (or all) of these things:

1. Bind to an custom attribute in the edit form.
2. Intercept update event of the form so I can collect the updated attribute data data from the form instance.
3. Retrive the edit form instance during the AppointmentUpdate event.

I was able to fill the attribute data in the FormCreated event, but I'm not see a way to update it.  Nor do I see a way to get the form instance again like I had in the FormCreated event.

Thanks.

Hi Steve,

You can bind Custom Attributes just like the Subject field. Please, consider the templates online example and try the following:

<AdvancedEditTemplate>
                <div style="position: relative; background: #E6E6E6; height: 100%; border: 1px solid #666666;">
                    <div style="margin-left: 10px; margin-top: 5px;">
                        Description:<br />
                        <asp:TextBox ID="TitleTextBox" Rows="5" Columns="20" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Subject") %>'
                            Width="95%" TextMode="MultiLine"></asp:TextBox><br />
                            <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" Rows="5" Columns="20" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("MyCustomAttribute") %>'
                            Width="95%" TextMode="MultiLine"></asp:TextBox><br />

Is this what you need?

Yes, and that's what I tried the first time, but it didn't work.  I re-tried it after seeing your response, and it worked!  Not sure what happened.

On a 'wish list' note, it would be good to be able to do the other 2 things I listed to that we could do more advanced functions within that form (such as working with non-calendar items in the same form).  Not something I need right now, but would be nice...
