Reload DropDownList Options in Scheduler Edit Form
Environment
| Product | Progress® Kendo UI® Scheduler for jQuery |
Description
I have two resource DropDownLists. When the user chooses the value in the first one, I want to reload the second one.
How can I get the instance of the second DropDownList to reload the data of the DropDownList in a Scheduler edit form?
Solution
Implement an event handler for the edit event of the Scheduler. This function adds a change event handler to the first of the two DropDownLists. This change event handler successfully changes the available options in the second DropDownList by altering its DataSource.
<div id="example">
<div id="scheduler"></div>
</div>
<script>
$(function() {
function reloadLocationSelect(e) {
var newDataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
data: [
{ text: "Changed one", value: 5, color: "#f8a398" },
{ text: "Changed two", value: 6, color: "#51a0ed" },
{ text: "Changed three", value: 7, color: "#56ca85" }
]
});
var attendeesDropDown = $("select[data-bind='value:attendees']").getKendoDropDownList();
attendeesDropDown.setDataSource(newDataSource);
}
$("#scheduler").kendoScheduler({
