Hello Jonathan,
You can use the
OnClientAppointmentEditing and
OnClientAppointmentInserting events to replace the default edit
form with one of your own.
- First you need to insert a RadScheduler into your desired page and bind it to a data source. Also Set its StartEditingInAdvancedForm property to False,
so that the new custom edit form is not loaded unless the user clicks the "more" link.
- Drag a RadAjaxLoadingPanel from the toolbox onto your Web page. On the body of the loading panel, type the literal "Loading...".
- Drag a RadAjaxManager onto your Web page and choose "Configure Ajax Manager" from its smart tag. In the Property Builder, select the RadScheduler as a control that initiates a request and as the updated control
by this request. Assign the RadAjaxLoadingPanel as the loading panel for this pair. Then select the RadAjaxManager
as a control that initiates a request and select the RadScheduler as the updated control.
- Give the AJAX
manager an AjaxRequest event handler to rebind the scheduler after an edit:
C#:
5. Add the following JavaScript functions.
JavaScript:
function AppointmentEditing(sender, eventArgs)
{
var apt = eventArgs.get_appointment();
window.radopen("AdvancedForm.aspx?Mode=Edit&AppointmentId=" + apt.ID, "AdvancedForm");
eventArgs.set_cancel(true);
}
function AppointmentInserting(sender, eventArgs)
{
var start = formatDate(eventArgs.get_startTime());
var isAllDay = eventArgs.get_isAllDay();
// New appointment
window.radopen("AdvancedForm.aspx?Mode=Insert&Start=" + start + "&IsAllDay=" + isAllDay, "AdvancedForm");
eventArgs.set_cancel(true);
}
function formatDate(date)
{
var year = padNumber(date.getUTCFullYear(), 4);
var month = padNumber(date.getUTCMonth() + 1, 2);
var day = padNumber(date.getUTCDate(), 2);
var hour = padNumber(date.getUTCHours(), 2);
var minute = padNumber(date.getUTCMinutes(), 2);
return year + month + day + hour + minute;
}
function padNumber(number, totalDigits)
{
number = number.toString();
var padding = '';
if (totalDigits > number.length)
{
for (i = 0; i < (totalDigits - number.length); i++)
{
padding += '0';
}
}
return padding + number.toString();
}
function refreshScheduler()
{
var ajaxManager = $find("RadAjaxManager1");
ajaxManager.ajaxRequest('RebindScheduler');
}
6. Set the
OnClientAppointmentEditing property of your
RadScheduler to "
AppointmentEditing" and the
OnClientAppointmentInserting property to "
AppointmentInserting". These two javascript functions are defined in the javascript you added to your page.
They call
window.radopen() to open a
RadWindow with content defined by
AdvancedForm.aspx.
AdvancedForm.aspx is a Web Form that takes information about the appointment from the URL. It uses four query parameters:
Mode,
which is "Insert" or "Edit" depending on whether the form is
inserting a new appointment or editing an existing one;
AppointmentId, which is the key
for the appointment to edit;
Start, which is the start time for an inserted appointment; and
IsAllDay, which indicates whether
an inserted appointment should begin as an all-day event.
AdvancedForm.aspx
has its own reference to the data source that the scheduler uses, and
uses
that data source to obtain information about the appointment
to be edited, as well as to save any changes made by the user.
7.Drag a
RadWindowManager onto your page and add a window to the
RadWindowManager.
Set the
ID property of the window to "AdvancedForm"
Set the Title property to "Edit an Appointment"
Set the ReloadOnShow property to True
Set the
Modal property to True
Set the VisibleStatusBar property to
False
Set the Behaviors property to "Close"
Set the OnClientClose property to the
"refreshScheduler"
function from the javascript you added to your page. The
refreshScheduler function causes the AJAX manager to trigger a rebind of
the scheduler to reflect
the changes made in the new edit form.
Thanks,
Princy.
