Client side - Selected Date

[Mike Taylor]

Hello,

I'm looking for a way, but still didn't find, to get in javascript (client side) the current selected date of the scheduler.

Thank you.

Hi Mike Taylor,

You can rely on the client side property get_selectedDate() of the RadScheduler client object. Example:

alert($find("RadScheduler1").get_selectedDate());

Thank you, it works great !

I think you should update the client-side RadScheduler object documentation because this method is not specified :

I'm dealing with a strange behavior here.

function SelectDate(_DateValue) {
    var myDate = new Date(_DateValue);
    var selDate = $find('<%= RadSchedulerArmy.ClientID %>').get_selectedDate().format('MMM dd, yyyy');
    alert('_DateValue: ' + myDate.format('MMM dd, yyyy') + '\n' + 'selDate: ' + selDate);
    if (selDate != myDate.format('MMM dd, yyyy')) {
        $find("<%= RadAjaxManager.GetCurrent(Page).ClientID %>").ajaxRequest("-||DATE||-" + myDate.format('MMM dd, yyyy'));
    }
}

The preceding story:
User clicks a row in a grid
One column has a job date
The value is extracted in the RowClick() event and function SelectDate() is triggered
Now, in the alert, the current SelectedDate of the Scheduler is always today's date...
So the condition is always true and needless UI refresh happens
My aim was to prevent a AJAXified refresh if the Job date on the selected row was equal to Scheduler's selected date.

Any F1 please!

Hello Hassan,

I tested the get_selectedDate() method but it worked as expected. Which version do you use? Have you tried with the latest beta version - 2010.3.1022?


All the best,

We are using v2010.1.519.35. I'll have to talk with my lead as i think some issues will be resolved with a upgrade. We are about to release two other projects therefore standing out for an upgrade might meet a lot of resistance at the moment. They also use Telerik heavily. There is wait there.
