Hi.

We have set up an advanced form in the scheduler and wish to include a Google Maps (or Bing Maps) map within the form. I have placed the required <div> and JavaScript in several places but it does not appear to be working. That is, the map does not appear at all (although I notice that the browser is contacting Google as the advanced form loads).

What is the best way to go about this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Glenn,

To be able to add Bing Maps in the Advanced Edit template you'll need to use the Bing Maps Interactive SDK.

I am editing the Advanced Templates demo and here are the needed things to add the map: 

Add the div tag with the map in the AdvancedForm Template :

<div id='myMap' style="position: relative; width: 400px; height: 400px;" onload="GetMap();" />

You'll need to call the GetMap() function in the OnClientFormCreated handler:

function schedulerFormCreated(scheduler, eventArgs) {
            // Create a client-side object only for the advanced templates
            var mode = eventArgs.get_mode();
            if (mode == Telerik.Web.UI.SchedulerFormMode.AdvancedInsert ||
                    mode == Telerik.Web.UI.SchedulerFormMode.AdvancedEdit) {
                // Initialize the client-side object for the advanced form
                var formElement = eventArgs.get_formElement();
                var templateKey = scheduler.get_id() + "_" + mode;
                var advancedTemplate = schedulerTemplates[templateKey];
                if (!advancedTemplate) {
                    // Initialize the template for this RadScheduler instance
                    // and cache it in the schedulerTemplates dictionary
                    var schedulerElement = scheduler.get_element();
                    var isModal = scheduler.get_advancedFormSettings().modal;
                    advancedTemplate = new window.SchedulerAdvancedTemplate(schedulerElement, formElement, isModal);
                    advancedTemplate.initialize();
  
                    schedulerTemplates[templateKey] = advancedTemplate;
  
                    // Remove the template object from the dictionary on dispose.
                    scheduler.add_disposing(function() {
                        schedulerTemplates[templateKey] = null;
                    });
                }
  
                // Are we using Web Service data binding?
                if (!scheduler.get_webServiceSettings().get_isEmpty()) {
                    // Populate the form with the appointment data
                    var apt = eventArgs.get_appointment();
                    var isInsert = mode == Telerik.Web.UI.SchedulerFormMode.AdvancedInsert;
                    advancedTemplate.populate(apt, isInsert);
                }
            }
              
            var map = null;
            GetMap();
        }
     
        function GetMap() {
            map = new VEMap('myMap');
            map.LoadMap();
        }

Finally you'll have to register the scripts for the Map. This could be done in the ScriptManager:

<telerik:RadScriptManager runat="server" ID="RadScriptManager1">
        <Scripts>
            <asp:ScriptReference Path="AdvancedForm.js" />
            <asp:ScriptReference Path="http://ecn.dev.virtualearth.net/mapcontrol/mapcontrol.ashx?v=6.2" />
        </Scripts>
    </telerik:RadScriptManager>

Find the full code in the attached .zip file.

Hope this helps.

All the best,

Hello Harishankar,

I'm looking to do the same thing but with Bing Maps. Did you ever get an answer to this question?

If you found a solution, do you have any code snippets you can share?

Please let me know and thanks!
