Webservice Validation before editing appointment

[Fabio Honigmann]

Hi,

I have been trying to call a webservice validation to the events before the editor allows someone to edit an appointment.

But i can't find a way to actually stop the scheduler from opening the form.

I call the validation OnClientAppointmentDoubleClick

var hasReservations = null;

function OnClientAppointmentDoubleClick(sender, eventArgs)

{

var strId = eventArgs.get_appointment().get_id().substring(0, 36);

WebServices.SiteService.EventHasRegistration(strId, OnLookupComplete, OnError);

then i set the hasReservations = true/false depending if there are any reservations to that appointment.

I try using the following code to stop the schduler, but it wont work due to the async. delay.

if(hasReservations == null || hasReservations== 'undefined')
{
    eventArgs.set_cancel(true);
    radalert("Validation service currently unavailable. Editing events are not available at this time.");
    return;
}

if(hasReservations)
{
    radalert("Some occurrences of this series have reservations assigned to them, they will not be modified.");
    eventArgs.set_cancel(true);
}

How am i able to implement such thing?

This doesn't have to happen on the client side, but i cant't find a way to validate it before the client recurrence popup is displayed.

The client documentation for the scheduler is horrible, and i cant find anything i need.

Someone please help me!

Thanks

Fabio

Hi Fabio Honigmann,

The OnClientAppointmentDoubleClick event cannot be canceled - use OnClientAppointmentEditing instead as it can be canceled and will most probably fit to your case.

The documentation for RadScheduler has been updated recently - old content has been revised and new has been added - so try it out here.

Thank you simon. I was able to get it working as expected.

The problem i find with the client documentation is that i can only find information about the events, but i can't find the definition of the objects used or returned by them.

For example for OnClientAppointmentEditing the event handler gives me sender and eventArgs then i can do get_appointment() great!

But I have not been able to find what are the properties available for that appointment object returned and the same applies to all other client objects.

I look forward to see client documentation for all members and related classes of the scheduler.

Thank you.

Hello Fabio Honigmann,

We have recently added the APIs of the RadScheduler's client-side objects to the documentation and it is available in the Help for RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX Q2 Futures.

For example, the SchedulerAppointment Object's properties and methods are outlined here - SchedulerAppointment Object.

With the official release of Q2 all of the new content will be available in the Help here.
