How to open DIRECTLY the custom advanced insert form

[Marcel Härry]

got my radscheduler working fine with objectdatasource against my sql-db.

One small drawback: When i right click to add a new appointment,
it opens a basic form. there i have to click "options" to open my advanced
form. I want my advanced form opened just after click to my "add new appoinment"
context menu item, as the basic form cannot provide all required data.

how can i achieve this?
(the less java the better :-) else please be explicit)

Hi Marcel Harry,

Try setting StartInsertingInAdvancedForm property of RadScheduler to true to allow inserting in advanced form.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadScheduler ID="RadScheduler1" runat="server" StartInsertingInAdvancedForm="true" .......... >
   ................
</telerik:RadScheduler>

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Princy.

Hi Princy
Surprisingly not, may be i messed up something else?
(Telerik.Web.UI, v.2012.2.607.40 (Dev))
My Scheduler:

<telerik:RadScheduler id="rsched1" runat="server"

 StartEditingInAdvancedForm="true"

 DataEndField="leistungsdatumbis" DataKeyField="id" CustomAttributeNames="wer,kulanz"

 OnAppointmentDataBound="Rsched1AppointmentDataBound"

 EnableRecurrenceSupport="False"

 DataSourceID="odskalender" DataStartField="leistungsdatum" DataSubjectField="beschrieb"

 EnableDescriptionField="False" Height="" >

 <Reminders Enabled="false" />

 <AdvancedForm Modal="true" />

 <ResourceTypes>

 <telerik:ResourceType KeyField="id" Name="Anforderung" TextField="name" ForeignKeyField="anforderungenid" DataSourceID="odsanforderungen" />

 <telerik:ResourceType DataSourceID="odswer" ForeignKeyField="wer" KeyField="name" Name="User" TextField="name" />

 </ResourceTypes>

 <AppointmentTemplate><%# Eval("Subject") %><%# Eval("Description") %></AppointmentTemplate>

 <AppointmentContextMenuSettings EnableDefault="false" />

 <AdvancedEditTemplate>

 <scheduler:AdvancedForm runat="server" ID="AdvancedEditForm1" Mode="Edit" Subject='<%# Bind("Subject") %>'

 Start='<%# Bind("Start") %>' End='<%# Bind("End") %>' wer='<%# Bind("wer") %>'

 kulanz='<%# Bind("kulanz") %>'

 anforderungenid='<%# Bind("anforderungenid") %>'

 />

 </AdvancedEditTemplate>

 <AdvancedInsertTemplate>

 <scheduler:AdvancedForm runat="server" ID="AdvancedInsertForm1" Mode="Insert" Subject='<%# Bind("Subject") %>Start='<%# Bind("Start") %>' End='<%# Bind("End") %>'

 wer='<%# Bind("wer") %>'

 kulanz='<%# Bind("kulanz") %>'

 anforderungenid='<%# Bind("anforderungenid") %>' />

 </AdvancedInsertTemplate>

 <TimeSlotContextMenuSettings EnableDefault="true" />

 <AppointmentContextMenuSettings EnableDefault="true" />

 </telerik:RadScheduler>

My (test) codebehind:
public partial class Zeiterfassungskalender : System.Web.UI.Page

{
 protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

 InitializeLocalization();

 }

protected override void InitializeCulture()

{
 var userCulture = Session["UserCulture"];

 if (userCulture == null)

 Session["UserCulture"] = "de";

 Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo(Session["UserCulture"].ToString());

 Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(Session["UserCulture"].ToString());

}
protected void eigene_OnCheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

 rsched1.Rebind();

}

private void InitializeLocalization()

{
//this.rsched1.Culture = Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture;

 CultureInfo newCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("DE");

 rsched1.Culture = newCulture;

}

protected void Rsched1AppointmentDataBound(object sender, SchedulerEventArgs e)

{
 string wer = e.Appointment.Attributes["wer"];

 Color appointmentColor;

if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(wer))

{
    switch(wer.ToLower())

{
case "bpa":

 appointmentColor = Color.Gold;

 e.Appointment.BackColor = appointmentColor;

 e.Appointment.BorderColor =Color.DarkSlateBlue;

 e.Appointment.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.Solid;

 e.Appointment.BorderWidth = Unit.Pixel(1);

 break;

case "ami":
appointmentColor = Color.Green;

 e.Appointment.BackColor = appointmentColor;
 e.Appointment.BorderColor = Color.DarkSlateBlue;

 e.Appointment.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.Solid;

 e.Appointment.BorderWidth = Unit.Pixel(1);

 break;

case "hae": appointmentColor = Color.DeepSkyBlue;

 e.Appointment.BackColor = appointmentColor;

 e.Appointment.BorderColor = Color.DarkSlateBlue;

 e.Appointment.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.Solid;

 e.Appointment.BorderWidth = Unit.Pixel(1);

 break;

}

}

 e.Appointment.ToolTip = e.Appointment.Subject + ": " + e.Appointment.Description;
} }

BTW: is there a smart way to copy paste from vs2010 into this window (IE9)
Without reformat everything manually?

Hello Marcel,

I have reviewed the code that you posted and noticed that you have add StartEditingInAdvancedForm="true" but you still don't have the property that Princy suggested- StartInsertingInAdvancedForm="true".

Would you please add it and let us know if you still observe the same behavior.

Greetings,
