Customized advanced templete issue

[vamshi]

Hi,

I have customized advanced edit template for my application. On Update click I'm not able to get the data from the drop down selected and the textbox:

 Below are FormCreated and AppointmentUpdated methods.

protected void RadScheduler1_FormCreated(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.SchedulerFormCreatedEventArgs e)
    {
        if ((e.Container.Mode == SchedulerFormMode.AdvancedEdit) || (e.Container.Mode == SchedulerFormMode.AdvancedInsert))
        {
            //List of Labs based on the User
            DropDownList UserPI = (DropDownList)e.Container.FindControl("PIList");
            UserPI.DataSource = userData.GetLabByID(Request.Cookies["userInfo"]["UserID"].ToString());
            UserPI.DataTextField = "LabName";
            UserPI.DataValueField = "LabID";
            UserPI.DataBind();

            TextBox NoOfPlatesTextbox = (TextBox)e.Container.FindControl("NoOfPlates");
           
        }
    }

On Update I want to get the DropDown selected value and textBox text

protected void RadScheduler1_AppointmentUpdated(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.AppointmentUpdateEventArgs e)
    {
           //This does not work
            pcrData.selectedPI = UserPI.SelectedItem.Value.ToString();
            pcrData.numberOfPlates = NoOfPlatesTextbox.Text;
       
    }

Is there any work around??


Thanks,
Vamshi.

Hello vamshi,

RadScheduler's rendering mechanism has changed with Q3 2008. Please, refer to this updated kb article for a solution to your question:

Hello Peter,

Thanks for the response.

I have gone through the kb article but could not find a solution to my problem. It explains about form creating, but I want data from the client side in Appointment Update event (when user clicks on Update Link Button in advanced edit templete) like shown in the code in my previous post above.


Thanks,
Vamshi.

Hello Vamshi,

Thanks for clarifying. In this case you could use the Customizing the Advanced Template example and this help topic. The user controls can be found in your local installation of Telerik.Web.UI ->
Live Demos\Scheduler\Examples\AdvancedFormTemplate\DefaultTemplates

Basically, the idea is to add any additional information to the appointment either as a resource or as custom attributes.
