Lightbox set Height and Width

Hi,

Please let me know, how can we set height/width of lightbox?

Height of lightbox is defined by heights of its sections, which can be changed in lightbox configuration.

Width of lightbox is hardcoded in the css file, and can be changed there if necessary ( but I’m not sure that all elements will look good with new width )

Hi,
Thanks for reply. But my implementation is bit different. I am having many extra custom fields on the lightbox. Please below code.

[code]scheduler.form_blocks[“appointmentdetails_editor”] = {
render: function(sns) {
var customfields = “”;
customfields += “

”;
customfields += “”;
customfields += “”;
customfields += “”;

customfields += “

customfields += “

customfields += “

return customfields;
},
set_value: function(node, value, ev) {

                    }
                    else {
                        document.getElementById("txtIncidentId").value = document.getElementById("txtMainIncidentId").value;

                }
                //node.childNodes[4].value = ev.details || "";
            },
            get_value: function(node, ev) {

            },
            focus: function(node) {
                //var a = node.childNodes[1]; a.select(); a.focus();
            }
        }
          
        scheduler.config.lightbox.sections = [
        { name: "time", height: 72, type: "calendar_time", map_to: "auto" },
		{ name: "description", height: 0, map_to: "text", type: "appointmentdetails_editor", focus: true }
	][/code]

I am using only 1 section for new extra fields, when i increase height of div in appointmentdetails_editor, lightbox is not fully visible. And i want to show atleast many fields.

The same code works correctly locally. At least height value of

<div class='dhx_cal_ltext' style='height:265px

Is correctly applied and that height is reserved in lightbox for the custom form section.

If you change height of section by some other code, be sure to call
scheduler.setLightboxSize()
It will update height of lightbox

Hi,

I am not setting height from anywhere. But then also Lightbox is not appearing complete if i extend div height more to see more extra fields. Please see for attached screenshot of the same. Also i have attached code file.


and here is complete code to render this lightbox.

As far as I can see lightbox - just goes beyond the visible window borders. ( which is valid because of defined height:550px; )

Which result you need to achieve, autosize lightbox to show max info and still be in window borders, or something else ?

Yes, i want to autosize lightbox to show max info and still be in window borders. Because then only we can see Save, Delete and Cancel Button which are required.Please help

Hi Stanislav, Please can you help me for previous query.

There is no direct API which will do the necessary action. Lightbox depends on height settings of form blocks and can’t auto-size itself.

You can have some kind of custom code in render method, which will have height of window, and assign the necessary height to the form block, based on it.

Hi Stanislav,

Please can you give me more details as how i can have custom code in render method? How can i set window height. Thanks in advance…

Can I know if you found a solution?

Hello Faten,
You can modify the HTML elements of the lightbox in the onLightbox event handler:
https://docs.dhtmlx.com/scheduler/api__scheduler_onlightbox_event.html
If you want to increase the lightbox height, you can change the height property.
Here is an example of how it might work:

If you want to decrease the lightbox height and scroll the lightbox, you can also add the overflow: scroll property. Here is the snippet:
