Deletion of events

Asked by Anonymous
17 years ago.

I currently allow users to delete events using either a right click option or the delete option in the upper right corner.

I have a couple of issues/questions

1) How can I add a confirm prompt when the user clicks on the x in the upper right corner?

2) when using the context menu, all works fine with the exception that my page does not refresh, when using it to do an ajax call. I am using Atlas and when they click on the x in the upper right corner of the event the screen refreshes correctly, however when they use the context menu it doesn't. Both methods invoke the same logic.

Thanks

Here are the results of our private discussion:

1) The confirmation dialog can be added by switching to JavaScript handling and calling the callback manually:

EventDeleteHandling="JavaScript"
EventDeleteJavaScript="if (confirm('Do you really want to delete ' + e.text() + ' ?')) dpc1.eventDeleteCallBack(e);"

If you are using DayPilot inside an UpdatePanel, you will need to call PostBack in order to execute partial update of the UpdatePanel:

EventDeleteHandling="JavaScript"
EventDeleteJavaScript="if (confirm('Do you really want to delete ' + e.text() + ' ?')) dpc1.eventDeletePostBack(e);"

2) This wasn't working because the menu item was executing a callback instead of postback (it was inside an UpdatePanel as well).

This definition

<daypilot:daypilotmenu id="DayPilotMenu1" runat="server" ClientObjectName="dpc1" 
ShowMenuTitle="False">
    <DayPilot:MenuItem Text="Delete" Action="JavaScript" Command="Delete" 
    JavaScript="if (confirm('Do you really want to delete this event?')) 
    dpc1.eventMenuClickCallBack(e, command);"></DayPilot:MenuItem>
</daypilot:daypilotmenu>

has to be replaced with this definition:

<daypilot:daypilotmenu id="DayPilotMenu1" runat="server" ClientObjectName="dpc1" 
ShowMenuTitle="False">
    <DayPilot:MenuItem Text="Delete" Action="JavaScript" Command="Delete" 
    JavaScript="if (confirm('Do you really want to delete this event?')) 
dpc1.eventMenuClickPostBack(e, command);"></DayPilot:MenuItem>
</daypilot:daypilotmenu>

Note that internal callbacks are working inside UpdatePanel as well but the possibilities are limited: During the internal callback you can only update the DayPilot events - other controls on the page are not accessible. Partial PostBack (using UpdatePanel) allows you to access all DayPilot properties and other controls inside the UpdatePanel but it will be a bit slower (a bigger piece of HTML is being updated).
