    Hi Terry,

    Could you try to debug javascript using firebug or a similar extension?

    Let me know what error you encounter as this should work on all browsers.

    Thanks,
    Daryl

    Hi,
    thanks for the code, it works very well.
    Only one question, I've some custom field in my AdvancedEditorForm that obviously are not replicated during paste.

    For example:

    var subjectcopied = copiedApt.get_subject();
    newAppointment.set_subject = subjectcopied;
     
    var mycustomfieldcopied = copiedApt.???
    newAppointment.??? = mycustomfieldcopied;

    Thanks a lot

    Hi  Keiichi-kun,

    I had the same issue and managed to sort it out using hidden fields, not sure  if it's the ideal solution but it got me to where I wanted to get. Hopefully I don't miss any details as it's been quite a while since I created this.

    First and foremost, i created a hidden field:

    <asp:HiddenField ID="docketNoHidden" runat="server" />

    Then I added Custom attribtues to the scheduler, like so:

    CustomAttributeNames="Task, FileCode, DocketNo" AdvancedForm-EnableCustomAttributeEditing="true"

    When pasting, I populate the hidden field:

    if (copiedApt && copiedApt.get_attributes().getAttribute("DocketNo")) {
     document.getElementById('<%= docketNoHidden.ClientID %>').value = copiedApt.get_attributes().getAttribute("DocketNo");
    }

    Finally, in code behind, in the FormCreated event, I'm doing the following:

    if ((e.Container.Mode == SchedulerFormMode.Insert) && (e.Container.Mode != SchedulerFormMode.AdvancedInsert))
    {
        // Setting docket no in case of copy/paste
        RadTextBox docketNo = e.Container.FindControl("DocketNo") as RadTextBox;
        if (docketNo != null)
        {
            docketNo.Text = docketNoHidden.Value;
        }
    }

    If you're using custom editors, you'd need to do something like this:
    if (e.Container.Mode == SchedulerFormMode.AdvancedInsert)
    {
                    RadTextBox docketNo = e.Container.FindControl("AttrDocketNo") as RadTextBox;
                    if (docketNo != null)
                    {
                        docketNo.Text = docketNoHidden.Value;
                    }
     
    }

    Hope this helps, if you need more help let me know.

    Thanks,
    Daryl

    Hi,
    thanks for your reply.

    Following your suggestion, I've done the copy&paste in this way

    <asp:hiddenfield ID="CustomFilm1Hidden" runat="server"></asp:hiddenfield>

    Paste event with JQuery

    var f1 = copiedApt.get_attributes().getAttribute("Film 1");
    //alert(f1);
    $("#CustomFilm1Hidden").val(f1);   

    I've had some problems using the FormCreated event so I've used the AppointmentInsert event of the RadScheduler

    if (CustomFilm1Hidden.Value != "")
            {
                e.Appointment.Attributes["Film 1"] = CustomFilm1Hidden.Value.ToString().Trim();
                CustomFilm1Hidden.Value = "";
            }

    I need to reset the value of the hidden field, in other case the value of the hiddenfield will be set on every AppointmentInsert event.
    The code seems to work..

    Thanks again

    K.

    Another tip if anyone is doing this.
    If you have a DropDownList connected to an Appointment Resource you could copy this value using a code like this

    Javascript side:
    try
                    {
                        $("#CustomSalaHidden").val(copiedApt.get_resources().getResourceByType("Sala").get_key().valueOf().toString());
                    }
                    catch (err)
                    {
                    }


    CodeBehind:

    if (CustomSalaHidden.Value.ToString().Trim() != "")
           {
               Resource r = new Resource("Sala", CustomSalaHidden.Value, "");
               e.Appointment.Resources.Add(r);
               CustomSalaHidden.Value = "";
           }

    Using as usual the hiddenfield
    Bye
