ResourceType Filter

[Kevin]

Does anyone know if we can filter dropdownlist in the resourcetype?  I was able to create dropdownlists with values but can't filter them.  I'm not sure if Telerik scheduler have that feature.
I need to be able to filter the selections from a dropdownlist in the radscheduler in the resource type collection.  Please help.

<telerik:ResourceType DataSourceID="SqlDatastaff" ForeignKeyField="Users"

 

 

 

KeyField="Full_Name" Name="Staff" TextField="Full_Name" />

Hello Kevin,

Take a look at the following help article explaining more on how to access and alter the elements in the advanced form of RadScheduler: http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/scheduler-customizing-advanced-form-formcreated.html.

Using what is shown in the above help article, you could do the following to set Filter functionality of the RadComboBox controls representing the appointments resources:

protected void RadScheduler1_FormCreated(object sender, SchedulerFormCreatedEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Container.Mode == SchedulerFormMode.AdvancedEdit || e.Container.Mode == SchedulerFormMode.AdvancedInsert)
    {
        RadComboBox resourceRoomCombo = e.Container.FindControl("ResRoom") as RadComboBox;
        resourceRoomCombo.Filter = RadComboBoxFilter.StartsWith;
    }
}

I hope this will help.

Kind regards,
Ivana

Thank you for responding to my question.  What I'm looking for is the ability to filter each dropdownlist created in the resource type collection within the Radscheduler. For instance, when I select the first dropdownlist, whatever I selected there will cause the second dropdownlist to populate the selection, and when I select the second dropdownlist, it will populate the third dropdownlist...  Please see my code.

Hi Kevin,

You need to customize the advanced form of RadScheduler in order to achieve the related RadComboBoxes scenario. The following article explains the steps to do so: http://www.telerik.com/support/kb/aspnet-ajax/scheduler/related-load-on-demand-radcomboboxes-in-the-advanced-form-of-radscheduler.aspx.

I hope this will help.

All the best,
