Resize a calendar event from JavaScript

Asked by Matt
17 years ago.
I want to resize an existing calendar event from JavaScript. The resize will be triggered by the user selecting the new start or end time from a pair of dropdown boxes. I already have a JS method that handles this event from the calendar, but I want to be able to call that function myself. My problem is how to instantiate and populate a DayPilotCalendar.Event object on the client side, as the start and end properties are only exposed as getter methods.

So I think what I'm looking for is something like this:
var e = new DayPilotCalendar.Event();
e.setStart(oldStartDate);
e.setEnd(oldEndDate);
rangeResized(e, newStartDate, newEndDate); // My existing resize event handling method, which invokes the CallBack functionality

Thanks,
Matt

It's not quite ready for such scenario at the moment. I would like to upgrade the Event class into a regular class that can be used from the user code in one of the future releases.

But you can use the following workaround:

var e = new DayPilot.Event(id);

DayPilot.Event is declared in Common.js. This will not provide correct values in OldStart and OldEnd in the server-side EventResize handler but the event id (Value) will be passed properly.

It's now possible to modify the events on the client side and send the update to the server using the Notify model:
