Calling Calendar Postback event

[robertw102]

I have a calendar control, which can be viewed in the two available modes, Interactive or Preview, depending on what's needed. By default, I have my Calendar control set to AutoPostback="true", so that I can handle the calendar navigation event. The problem I get is that when I have the control in Interactive mode, since I want the user to select the dates, it will always postback because of the AutoPostback setting. So what I want to do is that when I have the control in Interactive mode I would set AutoPostback="false", to prevent post backs when a date is selected and only postback when they navigate the calendar.

How would I be able to cause the postback for the navigation event?

Hi Robert,

Here is the code for achieving this:

<telerik:RadScriptBlock ID="ScriptBlock1" runat="server">
    <script type="text/javascript">


        function viewChanged(sender, args)
        {
            __doPostBack('RadCalendar','n:' + args.get_step())
        }

    </script>
</telerik:RadScriptBlock>
<telerik:RadCalendar ID="RadCalendar1" runat="server" AutoPostBack="false" >
    <ClientEvents OnCalendarViewChanged="viewChanged" />
</telerik:RadCalendar>

I hope it helps.

Hello Tsvetoslav,

The postback does occur, but it doesn't raise the OnDefaultViewChanged event of the RadCalendar control. Is the solution you provided me supposed to raise that event or am I supposed to be handling the RaisePostBackEvent and then call the OnDefaultViewChanged event.

In my previous post I was asking if I could raise the OnDefaultViewChanged event with AutoPostback="false", not just create a normal postback and handle it in the RaisePostBackEvent. Or is that the only way I can accomplish something like this?

Thanks.

Hello Robert,

It should be "RadCalendar1" instead "RadCalendar" in __doPostBack call. The following snippet is event better:

1.<telerik:RadScriptBlock ID="ScriptBlock1" runat="server">
2.    <script type="text/javascript">
3.        function viewChanged(sender, args)
4.        {
5.            __doPostBack('<%=RadCalendar1.UniqueID %>', 'n:' + args.get_step())
6.        }
7.    </script>
8.</telerik:RadScriptBlock>

DefaultViewChanged event will be triggered.
