Scheduler Event Item Edit and Creation Control

[MarkLince]

Hi,
This is carrying on from another Thread here http://www.cgdevtools.com/cgforum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=2613 which went off topic so I created this new thread to carry on the discussion (hopefully).

Need to be able to select a cell, show the cell as the selected cell and let the end user decide whether to initiate a new/edit event item or not. Rather than always assuming that that's what the user wants. It would get very annoying to my customers if every time they clicked on an empty cell they had to deal with a dialog box.

I can understand why assuming that the user wants to create an event when clicking a cell might be a legitimate assumption but I don't think its appropriate in all instances and certainly for my application would be quite annoying to my end users.

Might I suggest some events such as OnSchedulerClick, OnEventItemClick or OnEventItemDblClick and also a toggle to switch off the auto creation of event items without having to resort to making the whole schedule readonly would be extremely useful and make life a whole lot easier.

To be able to select an empty cell or any event item (maybe have it highlighted) and to be able to choose programmatically whether to create a new event or edit an existing one. So essentially the user would be able to click anywhere on the grid and no event creation is triggered unless proposed OnEventItemClick or OnEventItemDblClick is programmatically set.

Does anyone else think this is useful?

Following from prior thread, I think this would be a great addition.

Hello Mark and Leo

As you probably noticed, we use open source jquery plugins, that sometimes don't behave exactly how we wanted or with all the features already available, for varied reasons, including web limitations, author prespective, etc...

We appreciate very much the suggestion, but its resolution, doesn't always depend on ourselves, we need to change the plugin code, written in javascript.

We will see if we can adapt the proposed* changes, with clean and trustable methods, but we cannot promise anything in advance.

I'm the new boy here and am still finding my feet a bit. I certainly second zsleo remarks.
Have a great Holiday guys, I think your work is really important that's why it didn't take long to decide to purchase.

I've been looking at the java script driving this, I'm not an expert in js but it's plain to see that its not an easy job for you guys to ring out every last drop of functionality from the scripts and package them for use in Delphi for coders like me who use Delphi almost exclusively.

So great work and I'm looking forward to using it proper, once you sort my Licence out that is!

To better understand the javascript, it's advisable to set ServerController.JavaScriptOptions and set debug to true, and for IWs javascript set UncompressedFiles.

This will create user readable javascript ( & jquery ). These settings, should obviously be set to False, for web apps production builds.

Hi Guys,
Any news on this? I could really do with some help with it.
Thanks
