Using RadDateTimePicker with RadDataForm

[Ron Frick]

I am using the autogenerated event and the DataFormDateField does not allow for time to be selected.  Is there a way to accomplish this. Can I use a RadDateTimePicker instead of the DataFormDateField ?

Thanks,

Ron

I had a feeling you might lead me to this example. Unfortunately this example does not use the auto generated event.  Its dataform is set to autogen = false and it uses a datatemplate.  Is there a way to accomplish this when using autogenerated fields, and no datatemplates.

Thanks,

Ron

Also note that in the provided example it is using the MICROSOFT version of the dataform, and I am using your version.

Cheers,

Hello Ron,

 

The approach is applicable to our RadDataForm as well. Furthermore when the fields are auto-generated this form creates its fields automatically based on the type of the corresponding properties. For example the RadDateTimePicker will be automatically added if the type of the underlying property is DateTime. 
You may also refer to our online documentation for further info.

I must be doing something wrong because I have datetime field that gets autogenerated as a datepicker...not a datetimepicker. Is there something I need to do in the metadata of my object?

Thanks,

Hello Ron Frick,

There seems to be some misunderstanding here.
To avoid further confusion I am attaching a small sample. There is some code in the autogenerating event , to replace the DatePicker with DateTimePicker.

Please find the project attached and receive my apologies for the confusion.

All the best,

Awesome!!!  I had to tweek the code you sent me but it got the point across and I was able to get it to work with this code...
Once again thank you.  I really appreciate all the work you are doing to the dataform. It is an fantastic tool.

if (e.PropertyName == "Date")
  {
      var picker = new RadDateTimePicker();
      e.DataField.Label = "Date of service";
      e.DataField.DataMemberBinding = new Binding("Date");
      e.DataField.DataMemberBinding.Mode = BindingMode.TwoWay;
      if (e.DataField.DataMemberBinding != null)
      {
          picker.SetBinding(RadDateTimePicker.SelectedValueProperty, e.DataField.DataMemberBinding);
      }
      e.DataField.Content = picker;
  }
