editDialogCreate

[EricKParticipant]

Hello to all,
The resource field is a jqxDropDownList. I have added a json source(php) to the control so I can fill the drop down list.
This does work…
My question is would this be the correct way of coding the control when it is created.

editDialogCreate: function (dialog, fields, editAppointment) {
                    // hide repeat option
                    fields.repeatContainer.hide();
                    // hide status option
                    fields.statusContainer.hide();
                    // hide timeZone option
                    fields.timeZoneContainer.hide();
                    // hide color option
                    //fields.colorContainer.hide();
                    //fields.subjectLabel.html("Title");
                    //fields.locationLabel.html("Where");
                    fields.fromLabel.html("Start");
                    fields.toLabel.html("End");
                    fields.resourceLabel.html("Calendar");
                    
		rsdataAdapter = new $.jqx.dataAdapter(rssource);
		fields.resource.jqxDropDownList({ source: rsdataAdapter, displayMember:"name", valueMember:"id" });
                    
},

When I open the dialog it fills the drop down.
(My other concern is that it calls the json (3) times.)

Hi EricK,

By doing that you set 3 source related properties so it will make 3 calls. Another option is to replace it with custom widget created by you, instead of using the Scheduler dialog’s built-in.

Thanks for the quick feed back. I considered creating a new widget.
If I create my own widget, how do I keep the dialog from opening.

Hi EricK,

The opening of the dialog is not related to whether you add or not a widget. Just make sure that you created the widget correctly, because when a javascript error occurs, the code after that error does not run.

Peter,
Let me make sure of clarity. Your stating that I should create my own widget on the dialog window or create my own dialog window with my custom widgets.

Hi EricK,

custom widget, but If you wish you can create custom dialog, too. You just have to disable the default one using a Scheduler property.
