DayPilot Pro 5.9

Release date: April 19, 2010

(F) Integrated message bar (Calendar)

DayPilot Calendar is now able to show event messages using an animated message bar.

Silver Theme Example

Google Theme Example

This is the original JavaScript for showing client-side messages:

function afterRender(data) {
    if (data) {
        if (data.message) {
            showMessage(data.message + " (id " + data.id + ")");
        }
        else {
            showMessage(data);
        }
    }
}

/* message helpers */

var timeout = null;

function showMessage(text) {
    var messageDiv = document.getElementById("message");
    messageDiv.innerHTML = text;
    messageDiv.style.display = '';
    
    if (timeout) {
        window.clearTimeout(timeout);
    }
    timeout = window.setTimeout('clearMessage()', 4000);
}

function clearMessage() {
    var messageDiv = document.getElementById("message");
    messageDiv.innerHTML = '';
    messageDiv.style.display = 'none';
}

Now you can use much shorter code:

function afterRender(data) {
    if (data) {
        var text = data.message ? (data.message + " (id " + data.id + ")") : data;
        dpc1.message(text, 1000, "#ffffff", "#dc143c"); 
    }
}

You can call .message() method of the DayPilotCalendar object with the following parameters:

DayPilotCalendar.message(html, delay, foreColor, backColor)

Parameters:

• html - the HTML code to be shown
• delay - message visibility delay in ms (default value: 2000)
• foreColor - foreground color code (default value: "#ffffff")
• backColor - background color code (default value: "#000000")

(F) CallBack Shortcut Property (Calendar, Scheduler, Month)

DayPilot 5.9 will give you hints on what properties can be changed during full CallBack Update. The IntelliSense suggestions for CallBack property will show you the list of updateable properties.

The following code:

DayPilotCalendar1.StartDate = DateTime.Today;
DayPilotCalendar1.Update(CallBackUpdateType.Full);

Can be replaced with the following code:

DayPilotCalendar1.CallBack.StartDate = DateTime.Today;
DayPilotCalendar1.Update(CallBackUpdateType.Full);
