Hello, my company and I are evaluating dhtmlxScheduler to possibly purchase a license for use in our software, and it looks like a great product.

One question, though: I’ve seen a lot of documentation and discussion of the ability to customize the details form but not the little form that shows up in place immediately after you have dragged to create a new event. This form is the one that just shows a textarea field with the words “New event” in it. I’m attaching a screenshot to show exactly which one I mean.

In our software, we have certain tasks that will be scheduled, and they will be created and stored in the database prior to coming to the scheduler. I need to customize this little “new event” form to be a dropdown of existing tasks so the user can choose one, instead of the textarea.

Can this be done, and if so, where can I find a description of it in the documentation? If it isn’t very well documented, would you provide me with an example?

Thanks much!

Hello,

Unfortunately that form can not be customized.
More often lightbox form is used directly and that small form is skipped completely:

scheduler.config.details_on_create=true; scheduler.config.details_on_dblclick=true;
And with lightbox you can either create custom section or replace lightbox form completely with you custom form.

Best regards,
Ilya

Ilya, thanks for your timely reply. That should work nicely.
