[Solved] Service with OnClientAppointmentInserting

[SolutionStream]

Is there a way to prevent a postback if we are using OnClientAppointmentInserting to present our own custom appointment inserting form?

Hello Kier,

Yes, you can stop the postback by canceling the event:

function aptInserting(s, e)
{
    e.set_cancel(true);
   
    // ...
}

I've noticed the the API reference for this event is missing. Sorry for the inconvenience. We'll take care to update it.

Looking at my code again, my postback was occurring because I was calling a window.parent.location.reload().  So, I removed that line and implemented an ajax call to rebind the scheduler.

function refreshScheduler()
{
      var ajaxManager = $find("<%= RadAjaxManager1.ClientID %>");
      ajaxManager.ajaxRequest('RebindScheduler');
}

 

While this works, it always resets my scheduler back to today's date on the default view.  

What I would really like to do is somehow call my service updateAppointment call and pass it the newly updated appointment.  Can this be achieved in JavaScript?  If not, can I fix my SelectedDate problem?

You guys have been incredibly helpful, A++ for support!

Hi Kier,

You can directly call the updateAppointment method of RadScheduler:

// ...
var apt = args.get_appointment();
apt.set_subject("New subject");
scheduler.updateAppointment(apt);

This will call the web service to submit the changes and then it'll refresh the data automatically.
