Open an Advanced Form on iPad.

[Ilya]

I am using double-click to open an AdvancedInsert or AdvancedEdit form but that functionality does not work with iPhone/iPad. Is there a way to Press-and-Hold the time-slot and open any of the advanced forms? Thanks

Hi Ilya,

We've been working on such a solution (press and hold) and we hope to get it done for the Q3 release.

As soon as it's ready, we'll have a blog post about, or at least a mention in the release notes.

Ivan,

Is there a workaround that I can use for now?

Thanks

Hello Ilya,

The solution we are currently developing is not ready for production. It does resemble the jQ mobile solution (http://forum.jquery.com/topic/mobile-events-documentation), so I guess you could temporary use a jQ mobile hook.

Basically, there should be a delegate event handler for the taphold event for the appointments (note: using direct handlers is also possible, but could decrease performance) and that should call the editAppointmentWithConfirmation method (more information here http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/scheduler-object.html)

I hope this helps.

All the best,

Hi!

I use the context-menus and it works great, but how do I apply some kind of fix to have it working on an Ipad?
How do I "right-click" on an Ipad?

Hi Thomas,

You can't "right click" on iPad (or similar touch devices for that matter). The is where the "long touch" or "tap and hold" events come into place.

Say you want to have a context menu on a image. So you should bind (or delegate) a top hold event to that image that shows the menu.

In the event itself you should locate the menu, both in terms of object and HTML element; position it at the proper place and then show it.

Hi!

Ok, I understand.
I can't find these client events or is it those who will come in the Q3 release?

Hello Thomas,

Those events aren't part of the control suite. Instead those are jQuery extensions we use internally to do the heavy lifting on our end.
