Hi.

I would like to ask, if it is possible and if yes how, to change the event title field (wich appears in the add event & in the edit event popup page) from TextBox to DropDownList with some preconfigured values for the user to choose from.

I opened the EditEvents.ascx file and i changed line 27 from

<asp:TextBox id="txtTitle" cssclass="dnnFormRequired NormalTextBox" runat="server" MaxLength="100" Columns="30" width="250px" Font-Size="8pt"></asp:TextBox>

to

<asp:DropDownList id="txtTitle" cssclass="dnnFormRequired NormalTextBox" runat="server" MaxLength="100" Columns="30" width="250px" Font-Size="8pt"></asp:DropDownList>

After that, i opened the file EditEvents.ascx.designer.vb and i changed line 60 from

Protected WithEvents txtTitle As Global.System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox

to

Protected WithEvents txtTitle As Global.System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList

Now, when i try to add an event, in the popup i get the following error message:

The base class includes the field 'txtTitle', but its type (System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox) is not compatible with the type of control (System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList)

Does anyone happens to know what i have to change, in order to achieve converting the Event Title field from TextBox to DropDownList?

Thank you very much.

Dear Roger,

Thank you very much for your reply.

The fact is, that i have not recompiled something in the past and i do not know how exactly to do this and in what order.

Moreover, which source code i need? The whole DotNetNuke source code (i assume this is the case, because you said that i will find the compiled dll in the Bin folder) or the Events module source code (i already have this)?

If i have to use the whole DotNetNuke source code, the Events module will already be in the DestopModules folder?

Fianlly, with what command i compile / recompile the source code? With the Built Web Site command under the Build tab in the main menu of MS Visual Studio?

The new dll file will be named as DotNetNuke.Modules.Events.dll?

Thank you.

OK Roger.

Thank you very much.
