Topic: Refresh Event Subject Property

Hi.

I'm using a "custom" dataprovider with extreme calendar control. After creating a new event event or editing an existing event I trap the operation (using EventChangedEx or EventAddedEx triggered event). After saving to disk, I call a custom form where the user may input other event details.

One of the fields on the form is the event Subject line itself. After it is modified by the user on the custom form, I can't seem to make the subject line change on the actual calendar control -on screen (other than restarting the app).

Sort of like this:

Event.subject = "New Subject Line"

I'm thinking there must be a .refresh() method or something to force changes to the subject line to display on the calendar.

Can some one help?

Reinaldo.

Try to get the edited event, assign the new values, then call ChangeEvent() method.

'Get a pointer to the edited event
lo_Event = Calendar.DataProvider.GetEvent(<EditedEventId>)

'Assign the new values. You can also assign other properties not just the Subject
lo_Event.Subject = "New Subject Line"

'Show new values
Calendar.DataProvider.ChangeEvent(lo_Event)

That's the method I'm using with my extreme calendar which uses a custom dataprovider. Please note that since you are using a custom dataprovider, any changes you make in your own database should be reflected back manually to the calendar (there's no Refresh() method where the calendar gets the new values for you).

I hope this helps.
