Custom Advanced Edit Form not displaying when launching via ShowAdvancedEditForm?

[Adam]

Hi,

I've got a RadScheduler with a customized Advanced Edit Form in place, and everything works fine when adding/editing appointments via double-clicking. However, I now need to launch the Advanced Form server-side, and I'm unable to do so successfully. I'm using ShowAdvancedEditForm() to launch it, and when tracing through execution I can see that everything in AdvancedForm.ascx is being run as expected, but the Form is never displayed. Instead, the user is returned to the RadScheduler without any visible change.

Any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong? I've attached the relevant server-side method below, along with my RadScheduler definition from the page itself. I'm guessing it's because I'm not handling the server-side OnFormCreated event, but after looking at the demos and documentation, I'm at a loss at to what I'd have to do in order to handle it.

private bool EditAppointment(string appointmentID)
{
    // Load the existing Appointment
    Guid appointmentGuid = new Guid(appointmentID);
    Appointment editApt = RadScheduler_Main.Appointments.FindByID(appointmentGuid);
    if (editApt == null)
    {
        return false;
    }
    RadScheduler_Main.ShowAdvancedEditForm(editApt);
    return true;
}

Hi Adam,

I am sending you a simple demo showing how you can show the Advanced Form of appointment with a button-click:

void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
       Appointment a = RadScheduler1.Appointments.FindByID(13);
       RadScheduler1.ShowAdvancedEditForm(a, RadScheduler1.EditingRecurringSeries);
   }

Best wishes,
