Schedule Event from RadGrid

[Steven]

I have a RadGrid on my page and I'd like to be able to click a GridButtonColumn and have it populate the row from the grid into the Advanced Form (which I've customized greatly).  I've figured out how to get the items out of the grid (below), however I don't know how to populate and show the form.

How would I do this? 

protected void grdOpenOrders_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)

        {

            if (e.CommandName == "schedule")

            {

                GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;               


                //item["material"].Text

                //item["subpool"].Text

                //item["quantity"].Text

                //item["unit"].Text

                //item["shipdate"].Text

                //item["orderDate"].Text               


            }

        }

Hi Steven,

You can use custom attributes to pass and store additional information about an appointment. Then you can populate the fields of the advanced form by creating a new appointment object and setting attributes for the appointment and calling the ShowAdvancedEditForm method:

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
     Appointment a = new Appointment();
     a.Subject = "test";
     a.Attributes["material"] = "type a";
     a.Attributes["quantity"] = "3";
     a.Start = DateTime.Now;
     a.End = DateTime.Now.AddDays(1);

     RadScheduler1.ShowAdvancedEditForm(a);
 }

Would that work for your case?

All the best,

I used your code and the advanced form isn't showing when I use either ShowAdvancedInsert or ShowAdvancedEdit.  I stepped through everything and it all completes without errors.  I have also verified that there are no JavaScript errors, either.

Ideas?

protected void grdOpenOrders_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.CommandName == "schedule")
            {
                GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
                Appointment orderFromGrid = new Appointment();

                orderFromGrid.Subject = item["material"].Text;
                orderFromGrid.Attributes["ShipDate"] = item["shipdate"].Text;
                orderFromGrid.Attributes["UnitOfMeasure"] = item["unit"].Text;
                orderFromGrid.Start = DateTime.Today;
                orderFromGrid.End = DateTime.Today.AddHours(getStandardBatchTime(item["material"].Text));

                //blanks
                orderFromGrid.Attributes["BatchNumber"] = "";
                orderFromGrid.Attributes["BatchSize"] = "";
                orderFromGrid.Attributes["NonProdTime"] = "false";

                //optional
                orderFromGrid.Attributes["WashPrep"] = "";
                orderFromGrid.Attributes["WorkOff"] = "false";
                orderFromGrid.Attributes["IsLocked"] = "false";
                orderFromGrid.Attributes["RawMaterialDependency"] = "";
                orderFromGrid.Attributes["Comments"] = "";
                orderFromGrid.Attributes["Priority"] = "";

                //schMasterScheduler.ShowAdvancedEditForm(orderFromGrid);
                schMasterScheduler.ShowAdvancedInsertForm(DateTime.Today);

            }

The issue is that clicking that image in the grid doesn't cause a postback.  How do I make a GridButtonColumn cause a postback on click?

I found the answer.  I needed to add the scheduler to the ajaxManager

<telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="grdOpenOrders">
            <UpdatedControls>
                <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="grdOpenOrders" LoadingPanelID="ajaxLoadingPanel" />
                <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="schMasterScheduler" LoadingPanelID="ajaxLoadingPanel" />
            </UpdatedControls>
        </telerik:AjaxSetting>
