kendoui scheduler - prevent server calls during the navigate event

Question

i need to prevent server calls that are automatically triggered during the navigate event of the scheduler, because i need to call a my function LoadData that does a lot of things and then permfors a server call datasource.read() programmatically

The scheduler is configired with the weekTimeline view

i've tried in this way

navigate: function(e) {
        e.preventDefault(); //<<--this block all
                               

        LoadData() //<-- this perform a server call but before try to read the current scheduer view dates (that are not "updated" (are the old ones) because "e.preventDefault()" has blocked the movement from a week to the next 

}

This prevents the server call but prevents the date navigation as well (doesn't move on the next week

is it possible to block the server call only and continue to do everithing is normally done with the scheduler during this event?

Answer 1

The navigate event provides the following event data:

• e.action
• e.date - Selected date
• e.view
• e.preventDefault - If invoked, prevents the action.
• e.sender - kendo.ui.Scheduler

So you could try and use use the date method to navigate to the date the user was attempting to navigate in the first place:

      navigate:function(e){
        e.preventDefault();
        var scheduler = e.sender;
        var navigateToDate = e.date;

        LoadData()
        //navigate to date
        scheduler.date(navigateToDate);
      }
