drop down box for subject

[Dan]

I'd like to override the subject textbox and have a listbox there instead. Do I need to use advancedinserttemplate for this? This is the only input field I want to customize. Do I have to explicitly define every field on the insert form if I do it that way. Are there any decent examples of this?

Thanks,
Dan

Hello Dan,

Here is a sample demo project that is showing one way you can input a listbox instead of the subject textbox without a template.

Hope this will be helpful.

Thanks Plamen, that would be great. Just having trouble compiling it because it is .Net v4 and I am using vs2008 and it is giving me an error on targetFramework in the web.config

Hello Dan,

I removed "targetFramework="4.0"" from the web config code and added the appropriate(3.5) version of our Telerik.Web.UI product and it worked with Visual Studio 2008 at my side.

Hope this will help.

Best wishes,

Any chance you could zip that up? Made changes but still getting errors... Thanks!

Hi Dan,

Here is the project that worked at my side at Visual studio 2008 with tha latest 3.5 version of our product.

In case you still can't run it here is the code that is used:
aspx:

<script type="text/javascript">
       var subjectTextBox;
       function OnLoadSubjectTextBox(sender) {
           subjectTextBox = sender;
       }
       function OnClientSelectedIndexChanging(sender, args) {
           subjectTextBox.set_value(args.get_item().get_text());

       }

   </script>

javascript:

<script type="text/javascript">
       var subjectTextBox;
       function OnLoadSubjectTextBox(sender) {
           subjectTextBox = sender;
       }
       function OnClientSelectedIndexChanging(sender, args) {
           subjectTextBox.set_value(args.get_item().get_text());

       }

   </script>

code-behind:

protected void RadScheduler1_FormCreated(object sender, SchedulerFormCreatedEventArgs e)
   {
       if (e.Container.Mode == SchedulerFormMode.AdvancedInsert || e.Container.Mode == SchedulerFormMode.AdvancedEdit)
       {
           RadListBox lb1 = new RadListBox();
           lb1.Items.Add(new RadListBoxItem("a"));
           lb1.Items.Add(new RadListBoxItem("b"));
           lb1.Items.Add(new RadListBoxItem("c"));
           lb1.OnClientSelectedIndexChanging = "OnClientSelectedIndexChanging";
           RadTextBox subject = e.Container.FindControl("Subject") as RadTextBox;
           subject.ClientEvents.OnLoad = "OnLoadSubjectTextBox";
           subject.CssClass = "textbox";
           subject.Parent.Controls.Add(lb1);
           lb1.CssClass = "listbox";
       }
   }
