Unable to refresh schedule after external drag&drop

Hi,

In my web page I have a Grid and a Schedule.
When I drag a grid row into the schedule, I open a custom dialog and then update the appointment using a ajax call to a controller method.

The schedule is defined as follows:

        <div id="COL2">
            @(Html.EJ().Schedule("WorkActivitySchedule")
                    .Locale("it-IT")
                    .Width("100%")
                    .Height("800px")
                    .Views(view)
                    .Orientation(Orientation.Horizontal)
                    .ShowCurrentTimeIndicator(true)
                    .CategorizeSettings(fields => fields.Datasource(ViewBag.categorize).Enable(true).AllowMultiple(false).Id("id").Text("text").Color("color").FontColor("fontColor"))
                    .DateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy")
                    .AllowDragDrop(true)
                    .EnableAppointmentResize(true)
                    .CurrentDate(System.DateTime.Now)
                    .Resources(res =>
                    {
                        res.Field("OperatorId").Title("Operator").Name("Operators").AllowMultiple(true)
                            .ResourceSettings(flds => flds.Datasource((IEnumerable)ViewBag.Operators).Text("text").Id("id").GroupId("groupId").Color("color")).Add();
                    })
                    .Group(gr =>
                    {
                        gr.Resources(ViewBag.Resources);
                    })
                    .AppointmentSettings(fields => fields.Datasource(ds => ds.Json((IEnumerable<PlannedWorkActivity>)Model).Adaptor(AdaptorType.UrlAdaptor))
                        .Id("Id")
                        .Subject("Subject")
                        .StartTime("StartTime")
                        .EndTime("EndTime")
                        .Description("Description")
                        .AllDay("False")
                        .Recurrence("")
                        .RecurrenceRule("")
                        .Categorize("Categorize")
                        .ResourceFields("OperatorId")
                    )
                    .ScheduleClientSideEvents(evt =>
                        evt.Create("onCreate")
                            .CellClick("onCellClick")
                            .AppointmentClick("onAppointmentClick")
                            .AppointmentSaved("onAppointmentSaved")
                            .AppointmentEdited("onAppointmentEdited")
                            .ResizeStop("onResizeStop")
                            .ActionComplete("onActionComplete")
                            .DragStop("onDragStop")
                    ))
        </div>

The grid is defined as follows:

<div style="padding: 10px; text-align: center">
    @(Html.EJ().Grid<SlimHub.ViewModels.WorkActivityToPlan>("WorkActivitiesGrid")
          .Datasource(ds => ds.URL("../WorkActivity/WorkActivitiesToPlan").Adaptor(AdaptorType.UrlAdaptor))
          .AllowResizing()
          .AllowTextWrap(true)
          .AllowRowDragAndDrop()
          .AllowPaging()
          .AllowFiltering()
          .FilterSettings(filter => { filter.FilterType(FilterType.Excel); })
          .Columns(col =>
          {
              col.Field("WorkActivityId").HeaderText("Id").HeaderTextAlign(TextAlign.Center).Visible(false).Add();
              col.Field("WorkCode").HeaderText("Attività").Template("#ActivityToPlanTemplate").HeaderTextAlign(TextAlign.Center).TextAlign(TextAlign.Right).Width(30).Add();
          })
          .ClientSideEvents(s => s.RowDrop("onRowDrop").RowDragStart("onRowDrag"))
          )
</div>

After dropping the row on the schedule, the appointment (that is the PlannedWork object) is correctly updated on the database, but the schedule doesnn't refresh, so I can see the planned activity only after the page is reloaded. 

Is there a way to refresh the schedule without loading the whole page?

Thank you.

Claudio

Hi,

I have used this function linked to the save button of the custom appointment template:

    function save() {
        var obj = {};
        debugger;
        var formelement = $("#customWindow").find("#custom").get(0);
        for (var index = 0; index < formelement.length; index++) {
            var columnName = formelement[index].name, $element = $(formelement[index]);
            if (columnName != undefined) {
                if (columnName == "WorkActivityId")
                    var value = formelement[index].value;
                if (columnName == "WorkId")
                    var value = formelement[index].value;
                if (columnName == "Subject")
                    var value = formelement[index].value;
                if (columnName == "Desctiption")
                    value = formelement[index].value;
                if (columnName == "StartTime")
                    value = new Date(formelement[index].value);
                if (columnName == "EndTime")
                    value = new Date(formelement[index].value);
                if (columnName == "OperatorId")
                    value = formelement[index].value;
                if (columnName != "Resource")
                    obj[columnName] = value;
            }
        }
        $("#customWindow").ejDialog("close");
        var owners = null;

        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            dataType: 'json',
            async: false,
            data: JSON.stringify({ "pwork": obj, "owners": owners }),
            contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
            url: "../../Work/UpdateWork"
        });
        var schObj = $("#WorkActivitySchedule").data("ejSchedule");
        schObj.refreshAppointments();
    }

I used the async: false parameter because I want the controller method to have completed before executing the highlighted code.

But nothing happens...the newly created appoitment is not added...

Hi,

when I drop the object from the grit to the schedule and click on the SAVE button of the custom appointment window, I receive the following script error (attached):

ej.web.all.min.js:10 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'AppTaskId' of undefined
    at Object.saveAppointment (ej.web.all.min.js:10)
    at save (WorkScheduler:400)
    at HTMLButtonElement.onclick (WorkScheduler:604)

The exception is raised on the highlighted line of code:

    function save() {
        var scheduleObj = $("#WorkActivitySchedule").ejSchedule("instance");

        var obj = {};
        debugger;
        var formelement = $("#customWindow").find("#custom").get(0);
        for (var index = 0; index < formelement.length; index++) {
            var columnName = formelement[index].name, $element = $(formelement[index]);
            if (columnName != undefined) {
                if (columnName == "Id")
                    var value = formelement[index].value;
                if (columnName == "WorkId")
                    var value = formelement[index].value;
                if (columnName == "Subject")
                    var value = formelement[index].value;
                if (columnName == "Desctiption")
                    value = formelement[index].value;
                if (columnName == "StartTime")
                    value = new Date(formelement[index].value);
                if (columnName == "EndTime")
                    value = new Date(formelement[index].value);
                if (columnName == "OperatorId")
                    value = formelement[index].value;
                if (columnName != "Resource")
                    obj[columnName] = value;
            }
        }
        obj["AllDay"] = false;
        obj["Recurrence"] = false;
        obj["RecurrenceRule"] = "";
        $("#customWindow").ejDialog("close");
        scheduleObj.saveAppointment(obj);             ---> EXCEPTION!!
        clearFields();
        var owners = null;
    }
