RadScheduler - Add Task from external button click

[Shamanth]

Hi,

Please tell me how to do:

1) When we right click on the RadScheduler, we get "New Appointment" option from the context menu, how can we invoke that menu from button click outside the RadSchedular control.
2) ON Click of a button outside a RadSchedular, how to get a selected dates from the Scheduler control.

Please point me to appropriate samples/code .

Hi Shamanth,

The selected data could be retrieved with the following javascript:

$find('RadScheduler1').get_selectedDate();

Displaying a "New Appoint" will be a bit tricky. First you will have to get any time slot. Then display the new appointment for it.

Hi Hristo,

Thanks for your reply.
I did try this option and as you mentioned its very tricky in getting the selected time slot to open the "Add Appointment" screen.
I tried the following code:
 <script type="text/javascript">
        //Put your JavaScript code here.
        function OpenDialog() {
            var Scheduler = $find("<%= RadScheduler1.ClientID %>");
            //alert("get_currentAppointment() : " + Scheduler.get_currentAppointment());
            alert("get_selectedDate() : " + Scheduler.get_selectedDate());
            //alert("get_selectedSlots() : " + Scheduler.get_selectedSlots());
            //alert("get_targetSlot() : " + Scheduler.get_targetSlot()); //Not working
            //alert("showInlineInsertForm : " + showInlineInsertForm()); //Not working
        }
    </script>

So for the same requirement I have another idea i.e. adding buttons to the Footer of the RadScheduler, Is this possbible?
This way we will be in RadScheduler context, Will this help?

Hi Shamanth,

The Scheduler doesn't have footer templates. Handle the OnClientTimeSlotClick event to get the selected slot and try with this code:

<script type="text/javascript">
    var timeSlot;
    function OnClientTimeSlotClick(sender, args) {
        timeSlot = args.get_targetSlot();
    }

    function buttonClick() {
        var scheduler = $find('RadScheduler1');
        scheduler.showInsertFormAt(timeSlot);
    }

</script>
