RadDatePicker Calendar Year Problem

[Kittipong Tangtanaporn]

Hi,

I want the calendar to be displayed in Thai language with A.D. Year, so I set the RadDatepicker's culture to "Thai-Thailand" in aspx . The problem is that it shows calendar in B.E. (Buddhist Era) first time the calendar is poped up. Only after the user click on forward or backward navigation that the calendar year will be in A.D. format.
 
Is it possible to make it show calendar year in A.D. format since the first time the calendar is poped up ?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thankyou,

Punthip

Hello Kittipong Tangtanaporn,

Currently RadCalendar supports Gregorian calendar only. Take a look at this code library for a possible workaround.

Override the culture init and set the  calender to

GregorianCalendar

like below

 

Protected Overloads Overrides Sub InitializeCulture()

 

 

If (System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.ToString.ToLower = "th-th") Then

 

System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.Calendar =

New System.Globalization.GregorianCalendar()

 

 

End If

 

 

End Sub

I use below code, it's work.

#fixed Culture.
//page.aspx

<telerik:RadDatePicker ID="datePicker" runat="server" Culture="th-TH" Width="100px">
 <DateInput DisplayDateFormat="dd/MM/yyyy" DateFormat="dd/MM/yyyy"></DateInput>
</telerik:RadDatePicker>

#dynamic Culture.
//page.aspx

<telerik:RadDatePicker ID="datePicker" runat="server" Width="100px" OnLoad="datePicker_Load">
 <DateInput DisplayDateFormat="dd/MM/yyyy" DateFormat="dd/MM/yyyy"></DateInput>
</telerik:RadDatePicker>

//page.aspx.cs

protected void datePicker_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (ApplicationInfo.CurrentUILanguage == "Thai")
        datePicker.Culture = new CultureInfo("th-TH");
    else
        datePicker.Culture = new CultureInfo("en-US");
}
