RadDatePicker Q1 2012 static width when setting SelectedDate via codebehind

[Florian]

I have a problem with setting the width of an RadDatePicker contro and set the SelectedDate property via the codebehind.
Her is my sample code APSX:

<telerik:RadDatePicker ID="DatePicker1" runat="server" Width="30px" AutoPostBack="true">

<Calendar CultureInfo="en-US" FirstDayOfWeek="Monday" ID="Calendar1" UseColumnHeadersAsSelectors="False" UseRowHeadersAsSelectors="False" ViewSelectorText="x" runat="server"/>

<DateInput ID="DateInputFrom" DateFormat="dd.MM.yyyy" DisplayDateFormat="dd.MM.yyyy" runat="server"/>

</telerik:RadDatePicker>


And here the Codebhind:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DatePicker1.SelectedDate = DateTime.Now;
}

Is there any workaround to set the correct Width?

Florian:

I copied over your code and ran it. By simply changing the property setting for the RadDatePicker to "Width="100px" the full date displays correctly. I believe that this width setting takes in the entire width of the component, textbox and popup calendar combined.

Default.aspx:

<telerik:RadDatePicker ID="DatePicker1" runat="server" Width="100px" AutoPostBack="true">
    <calendar cultureinfo="en-US" firstdayofweek="Monday" id="Calendar1" usecolumnheadersasselectors="False"
        userowheadersasselectors="False" viewselectortext="x" runat="server" />
    <dateinput id="DateInputFrom" dateformat="dd.MM.yyyy" displaydateformat="dd.MM.yyyy"
        runat="server" />
</telerik:RadDatePicker>

Alternatively, you can remove the width setting from the RadDatePicker definition and set it as a property of the dateinput textbox:

Default.aspx:

<telerik:RadDatePicker ID="DatePicker1" runat="server" AutoPostBack="true">
    <calendar cultureinfo="en-US" firstdayofweek="Monday" id="Calendar1" usecolumnheadersasselectors="False"
        userowheadersasselectors="False" viewselectortext="x" runat="server" />
    <dateinput id="DateInputFrom" dateformat="dd.MM.yyyy" displaydateformat="dd.MM.yyyy" Width="30px"
        runat="server" />
</telerik:RadDatePicker>

The latter works better and the "30px" assignment displays the full date.
