Displaying only day and month

[Ivo]

Hi,

Is it possible to display only the day and month using this control?
I need the user to select an day within an month regardeless of the year.

Thanks

Hello Ivo,

First, sorry for the delayed reply!

Yes, you can change the calendar this way. The year of course matters for the week numbers and week days of a date. If you would like, you can display a single month or display the calendar and remove the year number form the header. Here is how you do this:

<!--See only one month:-->
<input:RadCalendar HeaderVisibility="Collapsed" />

<!--See only one year:-->
<input:RadCalendar MonthViewHeaderFormat="MMMM"
        DisplayDateStart="1/1/2009" DisplayDateEnd="12/31/2009"
        YearViewHeaderFormat='"Current Year"' />

HI, we need the same format, and it must display in the input box with the format "dd/MM" no year info.
Waitting for it, thanks

Hello Jack,

The the RadDatePicker is using an internal DateTime parser that doesn't support the requested date format. As a workaround you can create a custom ValueConverter which will be used for converting the date format to the desire one. Let us know if you need further assistance.

Hi

Using RadControls for Silverlight, v.2012.1.215.1050 I need a control similar to the RadDatePicker but displaying and selecting only day and month. If possible I would like to also only enter day and month as text.

The above solution suggested by Miroslav is using RadCalendar. Is there some way to use the RadDatePicker for this ?


Thanks.

Hello Thomas,

I thing the best you can do is set the culture of theDateTimePicker as follow:

this.DateTimePicker.Culture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US");
this.DateTimePicker.Culture.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern = "dd-MMM";

Also you can set InputMode="DatePicker" so the only the calendar is visible. As far as removing the Year and the Decade View from the calendar you need to edit its template.

Hi,

After I assigned format like
CultureInfo info = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US");
info.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern = "ddd M/d/yy";
dtpTravelDate.Culture = info;

I got wrong date when typing. See the image attached.
Is there any way to fix it?

Hi Juliana,

What you can try is set formatting to the LongDatePattern :

CultureInfo info = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US");
            info.DateTimeFormat.LongDatePattern = "ddd M/d/yy";
            dtpTravelDate.Culture = info;

Also depending on how you want to display the date in the DateTimePicker you can use DisplayFormat="Long" and DisplayFormat="Short":

<telerik:RadDateTimePicker InputMode="DatePicker" x:Name="dtpTravelDate" DisplayFormat="Long"/>

Other possible soulution would be to implement a custom parsing, more info on how to achieve that you can find in this help article. 
Hope this would help.
