Answer 1

It is an option from the advanced settings for the list, but is seems that it is not working and the popup is displayed whatever you select.

Answer 2

i selected  Launch forms in a dialog? = No  in the Advanced settings.

when i click on new event for calendar "All Events" view , it is opening as a normal page. but i have problem when i am in the "calender view".

Calendar View - when i try to create a new event with workspace option and when i click on save button it is redirecting to

http://w2msmossmgn02:33980/sites/P000309/_layouts/newMWS.aspx this page and opened as normal window.

here iam trying to redirect to my custom page instead of newMWS.aspx page, still it is redirecting in the dialog box only.

 

Thanks,

Surya.

atlast i figured it out. we need to change in the calendar schema.xml file

default it shows newMWS.aspx page. here u can give our custom page -----  CreateURL="Mycustompage.aspx">

update the below filed with your new page.

  <Field ID="{08fc65f9-48eb-4e99-bd61-5946c439e691}" Type="CrossProjectLink" Name="WorkspaceLink" Format="EventList" DisplayName="$Resources:core,Workspace;" DisplayImage="mtgicon.gif" HeaderImage="mtgicnhd.gif" ClassInfo="Icon" Title="$Resources:core,Meeting_Workspace;" Filterable="TRUE" Sealed="TRUE" SourceID="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/v3" StaticName="WorkspaceLink" ShowInDisplayForm="FALSE" >
        <FieldRefs>
          <FieldRef Name="Workspace" RefType="LinkURL" CreateURL="Mycustompage.aspx">$Resources:core,Calendar_MeetingWorkspaceField_Desc;</FieldRef>
