Opening a window in Form_Creating

[Stuart Hemming]

I'm working on a Scheduler page that opens the add/edit form in a RadWindow. I based the idea on the External Edit in RadDock demo.

I have a question though.

I'm opening my RadWindow using code very like this from the demo...

ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Page, GetType(), "formScript", "Sys.Application.add_load(openForm);", true);

I'd be interested to learn why this works when this ...

RadAjaxManager LocalManager = RadAjaxManager.GetCurrent(Page);
LocalManager.ResponseScripts.Add("OpenForm();");

doesn't.

Hi Stuart Hemming,

Please accept my apologies for the late reply.

Is your FormCreating event ajaxified with RadAjaxManager? The ReponseScripts will only work after an ajax event, so make sure that your event is ajaxified:

<telerik:RadAjaxManager ID="RadAjaxManager1" runat="server">
            <AjaxSettings>
                <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="RadScheduler1" EventName="FormCreating" />
            </AjaxSettings>
        </telerik:RadAjaxManager>

Also in External Edit in RadDock demo openForm function is written in camel-case (e.g. the first letter is small). In your code you are trying to call the function written in Pascal-case:

RadAjaxManager LocalManager = RadAjaxManager.GetCurrent(Page);
              LocalManager.ResponseScripts.Add("OpenForm();");

This is causing an error because no such function can be found. Just replace the name of the function to start with small letter and everything will be set.

All the best,

Dear Veronica,

The RadScheduler is ajaxified, however, hadn't explicitly ajaxified the event; I didn't know I had to. Come to that, I didn't know I could! :-)

So much to learn.

Thanks.
