Redirect Page on New Appointment

[Greg]

I would like to either redirect the page or open a new window on user selection of new appointment by double clicking on the scheduler.  I have been able to do it with editing/viewing an appointment but not for new appointments.  Any solutions for this issue?

Hi Greg,

Please, use the approach from the External Edit in RadDock demo. Basically, the idea is to handle FormCreating to take a hold of the Appointment object and then cancel the event and open your own edit/insert form.

Protected Sub RadScheduler1_FormCreating(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As SchedulerFormCreatingEventArgs)
            RadSchedulerRecurrenceEditor1.ResetLayout()

            Dim appointmentToEdit = RadScheduler1.PrepareToEdit(e.Appointment, RadScheduler1.EditingRecurringSeries)

            If e.Mode = SchedulerFormMode.Insert OrElse e.Mode = SchedulerFormMode.Edit Then
                EditedAppointment = appointmentToEdit
                e.Cancel = True
            End If

            ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Page, [GetType](), "formScript", "Sys.Application.add_load(openForm);", True)
            PopulateEditForm(appointmentToEdit)
        End Sub

Attached is also a sample that using RadWindow for external edit/insert of appointments.

All the best,

Thank you for the help.  That was exactly what I needed.

Thank you,  We are also searching for this functionality.

I have one question here.  In the above example, how can we pass the parameters to rad window.

Thanks,
Venkat.

Hello,

An easy and convenient way of achieving such functionality would be to use a hidden field on the page where you can store and retrieve values.
