dhtmlxscheduler - using onBeforeEventChange with unit view

Hi,

I'm trying to use onBeforeViewChange when switching to a unit view, in order to load new data into the calendar.

The problem I have is that the code I use in the attached event is executed but the view goes back to the previous view (so if I am in week view, I click the unit tab, the logic is performed but the view stays as week view). I am using onBeforeViewChange instead of onViewChange (which does switch view correctly) so that I can examine the old view and stop the event being called when Next and Previous are pressed.

Here is my code:

scheduler.createUnitsView('unit','user',keyLabelPairs);

scheduler.attachEvent("onBeforeViewChange", function (old_mode, old_date, mode, date){
     //this condition stops this being called when using next/previous arrows in unit view
     if (mode == 'unit' && old_mode !='unit') {
         //clear the scheduler
         scheduler.clearAll();
//fetch events for users of that department from the Compare view
     document.getElementById('scheduler_progress').style.visibility = 'visible';
            //loop through key label pairs
            for (var i=0; i<keyLabelPairs.length; i++) {
                var pair = keyLabelPairs[i];
                //method for DWR retrieval of more appointments
                displayAppointmentsForNewUser(pair.key);
            }
     document.getElementById('scheduler_progress').style.visibility = 'hidden';
}

});

Any feedback you can give me about this would be appreciated.

Cheers
Paul

Ah right! I'll give that a try.
Thanks for the quick response!
