Custom EditAppointmentDialog: clearing "None" and "(Any)" from resource dropdown

[Jim]

Hi,

We've derived a custom class that inherits EditAppointmentDialog, and have used it to do such things as pre-populate the subject line. Now - and I am not the guru here - I must populate the resource dropdown WITHOUT the "(None)" and "Any" entries that are automatically included.

We use the AppointmentEditDialogShowing event handler of the RadScheduler to set up our own custom appointment editor. This seems like the place to initialize the resource dropdown list. I'm working on it. If you can give me a clue, I'll appreciate it greatly.

While not exceedingly pleased with the following code, it does disable the "None" and "(Any)" choices in my dropdown. Provided users cannot choose these items, not system crash will occur. Still looking for a better solution, though.

I put this code in the LoadSettingsFromEvent sub of the custom appointment-editing form.

' Attempting to suppress "None" and "(Any)" from resource dropdown:
If Me.cmbResource.Items(0).Text.Trim.ToUpper.Equals("NONE") OrElse Me.cmbResource.Items(0).Text.Trim.ToUpper.Equals("(ANY)") Then
            Me.cmbResource.Items(0).Enabled = False
End If

If Me.cmbResource.Items(1).Text.Trim.ToUpper.Equals("NONE") OrElse Me.cmbResource.Items(1).Text.Trim.ToUpper.Equals("(ANY)") Then
            Me.cmbResource.Items(1).Enabled = False
End If

Hi Jim Benson,

Thank for contacting us.
 
If you do not want to see "NONE" and "(All)" resources, you can remove them from your custom dialog in the LoadSettingsFromEvent method and call the base method after that.

I hope this will help you.

Kind regards,
