How to set to blank or null

[Jon]

Hi..
How can I initially set the value to blank   "  /   /   " -
So when the form is open  the user can start to type in the date?
thanks again.........

Hi Jon The Nerd,

You can set the value to null by setting  SelectedDate=null;  , however the Textbox will be just blank  and not " /  / " . Another thing you can consider is the SelectAll()  method that select the whole text of the RadDatepicker. If you set it on GotFocus event you will be able to start writing the date right away when you put the focus on the RadDatepicker.

Hope that helps. Please let me know if you need more info.

Hello!

Binding the SelectedValue to a DateTime property in a view model and setting the value to null doesn´t update the displayed date in the RadDatePicker. I can see that the control is getting the null value but the date is not updated.

<totally:RadDatePicker Width="89" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1" TabIndex="9"
                 SelectedDate="{Binding Path=AvtalsDatumFrom, Mode=TwoWay,
                 UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" />

What have I missed?

Best regards

Hello Anna Rudlund,

Could you please specify which version of RadControls you are using as there was similar bug that was fixed for Q2 SP2 Version 2010.2.924. Please download the latest version and if you still have problems please let me know.
