javascript scheduler autorefresh

DayPilot Scheduler allows automatic event reloading (in specified intervals).

AutoRefresh is disabled by default. You can enable it using AutoRefreshEnabled property.

If enabled, AutoRefresh will fire Command event on the server side with the value of AutoRefreshCommand as the command name.

Configuration properties:

  • AutoRefreshEnabled (bool)

  • AutoRefreshInterval (int) - number of seconds between automatic reloads

  • AutoRefreshMaxCount (int) - maximum number of automatic reloads

  • AutoRefreshCommand (string) - a command value that will be passed to Command event when requesting a reload

AutoRefresh is paused automatically during drag and drop operations (event moving, resizing, time range selecting, row moving, etc.).

JavaScript

If enabled using autoRefreshEnabled property, it will fire onAutoRefresh event in the specified intervals.

dp.autoRefreshInterval = 10; 
dp.autoRefreshMaxCount = 10;
dp.autoRefreshEnabled = true;

dp.onAutoRefresh = function(args) { 
  dp.events.load("/getEvents");
};

Use .autoRefreshPause() and .autoRefreshStart() to pause and resume the autorefresh during long UI interactions, such as a modal dialog (available since build 8.1.1760).

See also .events.load() method.
