[Solved] Custom Templates

[Jose]

Hello,

I am having an issue with the custom templates with the scheduler, What i am trying to do is, have a custom template for inline insert and for the advanced. What i did was create a template for the inline insert with 3 buttons (insert, cancel, advanced), the insert and cancel buttons work fine, but after i click the advanced it throws a "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." and it has this stack trace "

 Telerik.Web.UI.RadScheduler.SwitchToAdvancedMode() +202

 Telerik.Web.UI.RadScheduler.OnBubbleEvent(Object source, EventArgs args) +582
 System.Web.UI.Control.RaiseBubbleEvent(Object source, EventArgs args) +35
"
But if I use the default template for the inline insert then click "options" it will show my custom advanced template.
Seems like i am missing something, so i would appreciate any help.
Here is my code for the schedule control: 

 <pro:RadScheduler runat="server" ID="RadScheduler1" Width="750px" SelectedDate="2007-03-30"
            DayStartTime="08:00:00" DayEndTime="18:00:00" ShowViewTabs="false" StartEditingInAdvancedForm="false"
            DataSourceID="MessagesDataSource" DataKeyField="MessageId" DataSubjectField="MessageText"
            DataStartField="Start" DataEndField="End" DataRecurrenceField="RecurrenceRule"
            DataRecurrenceParentKeyField="RecurrenceParentID" OnAppointmentCommand="RadScheduler1_AppointmentCommand"
            OnFormCreated="RadScheduler1_FormCreated" OnFormCreating="RadScheduler1_FormCreating">
            
            
            <AppointmentTemplate>
                <div>
                </div>
            </AppointmentTemplate>
            <InlineEditTemplate>
            <div>
            <asp:LinkButton ID="InsertButton" runat="server" CommandName="Insert" Text="insert">
                            
                        </asp:LinkButton>
                        <asp:LinkButton ID="InsertCancelButton" runat="server" CausesValidation="False" CommandName="Cancel" Text="cancel">
                            
                        </asp:LinkButton>
                        <asp:LinkButton ID="InsertMoreButton" runat="server" CommandName="More" CssClass="rsAdvancedEditLink">Advanced</asp:LinkButton>
            </div>
            </InlineEditTemplate>
            <InlineInsertTemplate>
            <div>
                        <asp:LinkButton ID="InsertButton" runat="server" CommandName="Insert" Text="insert">
                            
                        </asp:LinkButton>
                        <asp:LinkButton ID="InsertCancelButton" runat="server" CausesValidation="False" CommandName="Cancel" Text="cancel">
                            
                        </asp:LinkButton>
                        <asp:LinkButton ID="InsertMoreButton" runat="server" CommandName="More" CssClass="rsAdvancedEditLink">Advanced</asp:LinkButton>
            </div>
            </InlineInsertTemplate>
            <AdvancedEditTemplate>
               <div>
               Advanced EDIT TEMP
               </div>
            </AdvancedEditTemplate>
            <AdvancedInsertTemplate>
              <div>
               Advanced TEMP
               </div>
            </AdvancedInsertTemplate>
        </pro:RadScheduler>

Hi Jose,

RadScheduler does not recognize the "More" Command Name. Here is a workaround which you can use instead:

<InlineEditTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" Text='<%#Bind("Subject") %>' runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
    <div>
        <asp:LinkButton ID="InsertButton" runat="server" CommandName="Insert" Text="insert">

        </asp:LinkButton>
        <asp:LinkButton ID="InsertCancelButton" runat="server" CausesValidation="False" CommandName="Cancel"
            Text="cancel">

        </asp:LinkButton>
        <asp:LinkButton ID="InsertMoreButton" CommandName="AdvancedEditOptions" runat="server"
            CssClass="rsAdvancedEditLink">Advanced</asp:LinkButton>
    </div>
</InlineEditTemplate>
<InlineInsertTemplate>
    <div>
        <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" Text='<%#Bind("Subject") %>' runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
        <asp:LinkButton ID="InsertButton" runat="server" CommandName="Insert" Text="insert">

        </asp:LinkButton>
        <asp:LinkButton ID="InsertCancelButton" runat="server" CausesValidation="False" CommandName="Cancel"
            Text="cancel">

        </asp:LinkButton>
        <asp:LinkButton ID="InsertMoreButton" CommandName="AdvancedInsertOptions" runat="server"
            CssClass="rsAdvancedEditLink">Advanced</asp:LinkButton>
    </div>
</InlineInsertTemplate>

 private string InsertedAppointmentSubject;
    protected void RadScheduler1_AppointmentCommand(object sender, AppointmentCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.CommandName == "AdvancedInsertOptions")
        {
            IBindableTemplate template = (IBindableTemplate) e.Container.Template;
            IOrderedDictionary values = template.ExtractValues(e.Container);
            InsertedAppointmentSubject = (string)values["Subject"];
            RadScheduler1.ShowAdvancedInsertForm(e.Container.Appointment.Start);

        }
        else if (e.CommandName == "AdvancedEditOptions")
        {
            RadScheduler1.ShowAdvancedEditForm(e.Container.Appointment);
        }
    }
    protected void RadScheduler1_FormCreating(object sender, SchedulerFormCreatingEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Mode == SchedulerFormMode.AdvancedInsert)
        {
            e.Appointment.Subject = InsertedAppointmentSubject;
        }
    }

Peter,

I am trying to do something similar, except instead of adding an "Advanced" button to the inline edit template, I simply want to add an edit button the AppointmentTemplate, so users can click it to edit the item instead of double clicking.  I have the button working so it takes me to the edit form, but I am not sure how to get it to fire the "edit series/single occurrence" dialog box if the item is part of a series.  Are there any examples on how to do that?  

Basically I want to have a button on the appointment template perform exactly the same as double clicking the appointment, including asking the user if they want to edit the series or a single occurence.

Thanks,

Laura

Hello laura,

We recently added two very useful methods to the RadScheduler's client-side object:

editAppointmentWithConfirmation(appointment)
deleteAppointmentWithConfirmation(appointment)

If you want to give them a try before the official release, starting from tomorrow they will be available in our latest internal builds at http://www.telerik.com/account/latest-internal-builds.aspx

Of course, they will be available in the next official release too.
