Resource Default

[Scott]

I think I'm missing something that should be very simple....

How can I make a particular resource the default if none is chosen?

I'd be happy with the blank/none option being removed and a default/first resource being shown or in the code (AppointmentCreated I assume) the resource is assigned what I want the default resource to be if none were chosen.

Hello Scott,

You can find the resource dropdown control in FormCreated and set its SelectedIndex for the AdvancedInsert mode using this kb article: How to access controls in the advanced form.

Peter,

Thanks!  I'll try that for now.  Is there a way to remove the blank option?

Hello Scott,

Yes, you can use the RemoveAt method to remove the first item:

 protected void RadScheduler1_FormCreated(object sender, SchedulerFormCreatedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Container.Mode == SchedulerFormMode.AdvancedInsert)
        {
            DropDownList resRoomDDL = (DropDownList)e.Container.FindControl("ResRoom");
           resRoomDDL.Items.RemoveAt(0);
           resRoomDDL.SelectedIndex = 1;
        }

        if (e.Container.Mode == SchedulerFormMode.AdvancedEdit)
        {
            DropDownList resRoomDDL = (DropDownList)e.Container.FindControl("ResRoom");
            resRoomDDL.Items.RemoveAt(0);
        }
    }

Note that with Q3 2008, the resource dropdown lists will have a "Res" prefix.

I've seen by reading other questions and responses but now that I've been able to experience the support first hand, I must say, excellent response times and support to the end-users (developers)!  Thank you,

Scott
