Shared TimeView multiple TimePickers - custom action possible?

[Andrew]

I have a page with multiple TimePickers in a databound grid. They all share a TimeView to cut down on the HTML, but I need a button I've placed in the header template of the shared TimeView to 'clear' the value of the time picker I've clicked on (because a blank time has meaning for my application).

The template is fine, I have my control in the header, but I'm not sure how to get access to the TimePicker that has been clicked in client side script to be able to set_selectedTime('');

Any ideas?

<edit>
This page has exactly what I need - with the 'Clear' button in the footer - but the example code isn't for that image!

Hi Andrew,

You can store a reference to the TimePicker which opened the TimePopup last time. And then on the button click to clear its value and hide the popup. See the example bellow:

<script type="text/javascript">

  var LastTimePicker = null;

  function OnPopupOpening(sender, args) {
    LastTimePicker = sender;
  }
  function ClearAndClose(sender, args) {

    if (LastTimePicker != null) {
      LastTimePicker.clear();
      LastTimePicker.hideTimePopup();
    }

  }
</script>
<div>
  <telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" OnNeedDataSource="RadGrid1_NeedDataSource">
    <MasterTableView>
      <Columns>
        <telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
          <ItemTemplate>
            <telerik:RadTimePicker ID="RadTimePicker1" runat="server" SharedTimeViewID="SharedTimeView"
              ClientEvents-OnPopupOpening="OnPopupOpening">
            </telerik:RadTimePicker>
          </ItemTemplate>
        </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
      </Columns>
    </MasterTableView>
  </telerik:RadGrid>
  <telerik:RadTimeView ID="SharedTimeView" runat="server">
    <HeaderTemplate>
      <asp:Button runat="server" Text="Clear" ID="ClearButton" OnClientClick="ClearAndClose(); return false;" />
    </HeaderTemplate>
  </telerik:RadTimeView>
</div>

Best wishes,

Thanks Vasil - that was almost identical to the solution I came up with!! Works well too... I love how easy these Telerik controls are to alter if they don't quite have the functionality you require... Thanks.
