Displaying alerts/warnings in scheduler.

[Alan]

Hi,

I would like to display alerts/warnings in the scheduler pane as done by the control itself (such as the "Are you sure you want to delete this appointment?"). 

I want this so that after I validate the user's input I can display warnings, mostly server-side but some client side.

Thanks,
Daryl

Hello Daryl,

You can display alerts, promts and confirms by using RadWindowManager. Please take a look at this demo for an example. However could you please be more specific on that when do you want to display such alerts?

Thank you for your reply.

Basically I have two scenarios where a user cannot create an appointment. I'm using the drag/drop scenario but not saving immediately. So when the user drags the appointment, and hits save, it's saved, but I want to validate the Subject, if it's empty, it doesn't save, instead it displays a dialog box saying that it must not be left empty.

The second scenario is that I must not have two appointments in one timeslot, that's handled, but at the moment it's just not saved, without prompting the user, essentially the user doesn't know what's wrong with the action he just did.

Regards,
Daryl

Hi Daryl,

Please take a look at this KB article for validation of empty subjects.

As you will see in the KB article you can just type :

alert('Please insert a subject!');

in the JavaScript function and an alert window will appear with corresponding message.

Please let me know if this was helpful.

Hi Veronica,

That's good, however I would like to use RadWindowManager instead, and display it inside the scheduler (exactly like the ones the scheduler triggers).

Thanks,
Daryl

Hi Daryl,

Could you please be more specific on what do you mean in "inside the scheduler (exactly like the ones the scheduler triggers)." Could you please send me a screenshot or show me an example in our demos?

Thank you!

Hi Veronica,

Sorry if I'm not clear, I have attached the requested image.

Thanks,
Daryl

Hello Daryl,

Thank you for the attached image.
As I mentioned below the alerts of the RadScheduler are alerts of RadWindowManager.
Could you please tell me am I missing something in your requirement?

No I don't think you are, can they be triggered server side?

[Veronica]

Hi Daryl,

Yes, they can be triggered from server-side. Please take a look at this KB article for an example.

Hi Veronica,

Thank you for your help.

One last thing, and I'm not sure this is possible to do, so if it's not don't worry.

You know how radalerts in scheduler create a shadow on just the scheduler, is it possible to do that in my case? (from the page)

Thanks,
Daryl

[Veronica]

Hello Daryl,

Yes, the shadows comes from that the thrown alert / prompt / etc. are modal windows. Yes, by just using our radalert / radprompt etc. the shadow will appear on the scheduler.

Best wishes,

Yes I noticed that, however the shadow is being applied to the whole page, not just the control.

[Veronica]

Hello Daryl,

No, unfortunately there is no easy way to apply the shadow only over the RadScheduler control.

No problem, thanks again!
