get AdvancedFrom custom controls

[Jean-Marc]

In the AdvancedForm i added some controls

example:
 <ul class="rsTimePickers">
                        <li class="rsTimePick">
                            <label for='<%= VisibleFromDate.ClientID %>_dateInput_text'>Visible from</label><%--
                                Leaving a newline here will affect the layout, so we use a comment instead.
                                --%><telerik:RadDatePicker runat="server" ID="VisibleFromDate" CssClass="rsAdvDatePicker"
                                    Width="110px" SharedCalendarID="SharedCalendar" Skin='<%# Owner.Skin %>' Culture='<%# Owner.Culture %>'
                                    MinDate="1900-01-01">
                                    <DatePopupButton Visible="True" />
                                    <DateInput ID="DateInput1" runat="server" DateFormat='<%# Owner.AdvancedForm.DateFormat %>'
                                        EmptyMessageStyle-CssClass="riError" EmptyMessage=" " EnableSingleInputRendering="false" />
                                </telerik:RadDatePicker>
                             
                        </li>
</ul>

but i can figure out how to get the raddatepicker VisibleFromDate value in the AppointmentInsert function (i tried custom attributes with no success)

I found this thread that seems to apply to my case

protected void Radscheduler1_FormCreated(object sender, SchedulerFormCreatedEventArgs e)

{

    if (e.Container.Mode == SchedulerFormMode.AdvancedEdit || e.Container.Mode == SchedulerFormMode.AdvancedInsert)

    {

        _VisibleFromDate = (raddatepicker)e.Container.FindControl("VisibleFromDate");

             

    }

}

I got an error here VisibleFromDate control is not found.

I just want to get values from custom controls in the insert but I'm struggling for days,
Help!

Hi Jean-Marc,

You should be able to access the RadDatePicker control from within the FormCreated event handler if the form is advanced.
If you are using Web service binding, however, the FormCreated server event will not be fired. In this case you should use the client FormCreated event.
Please take a look at the following help articles explaining more on how to access the controls inside the advanced form of RadScheduler on the client as well as on the server:

I hope this will help.

Kind regards,
