(F48) Drag&drop from an external source (DayPilot Calendar & DayPilot Scheduler)
A new client-side API that supports drag&drop from an external source (from outside of the calendar control).
This feature is useful for implementing the following scenario:
- Calendar/scheduler showing the current time schedule.
- Separate list of events that are not yet scheduled.
- The unscheduled events can be dragged into the calendar/scheduler.
Step 1: Drag the item from a list of unscheduled events.
Step 2: The object is detected as an event when you drag it over the calendar.
(F) Sending custom data back to the client after a CallBack (DayPilot Calendar & DayPilot Scheduler)
It is possible to send a custom data from the CallBack event handler back to the client. This will allow showing custom messages after the event was handled.
