Hello, I am trying to disable certain days (Sundays and Mondays) in my calendar pop-up based on a dropdown value.
This Calendar is part of a RateDatePicker.
My code is as follows: (for Brevity I am just enclosing the snippet for Sundays)
<telerik:RadDatePicker runat="server" ID="rdpDate"
OnSelectedDateChanged="rdpDate_Changed" AutoPostBack="true"
Calendar-ShowRowHeaders="false" Calendar-ShowColumnHeaders="false">
<Calendar ID="Calendar1" OnDayRender="cal_DayRender" runat="server">
<CalendarDayTemplates>
<telerik:DayTemplate ID="OtherMonth" runat="server">
<Content>
X
</Content>
</telerik:DayTemplate>
</CalendarDayTemplates>
</Calendar>
</telerik:RadDatePicker>
protected void cal_DayRender(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.Calendar.DayRenderEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Day.Date.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Sunday)
{
switch (ddlChoices.SelectedValue)
{
case "choice1":
case "choice2":
case "choice3":
//e.Day.IsSelectable = false;
e.Cell.Controls.Clear();
e.Cell.CssClass = "otherMonth";
Label label = new Label();
label.Text = e.Day.Date.Day.ToString();
e.Cell.Controls.Add(label);
Telerik.Web.UI.RadCalendarDay calendarDay = new Telerik.Web.UI.RadCalendarDay();
calendarDay.Date = e.Day.Date;
calendarDay.IsSelectable = false;
calendarDay.IsDisabled = true;
calendarDay.TemplateID = "OtherMonth";
rdpDate.Calendar.SpecialDays.Add(calendarDay);
break;
}
}
}
The effect that occurs is that there's no longer an <a> tag in
the span for that day but the over/off javascript that changes the CSS
class events are firing and I can still click in the box for the day
and it will populate the textbox. The effect I want is for the dates
that I disable to be completly unclickable. Any suggestions on dealing
with the dropdown?
Is there a way for me to "reload" the viewed month? I thought I might
reload the calendar in the postback _Changed event handler for the
dropdown list. I only plan on showing a year's worth of dates, would it
be possible for me to create an IList<DateTime> and DataBind the
calender that way and not have to deal with a javascript handler for
new months? I could deal with both problems at once.
If the "SpecialDays" functionality is not needed that's fine, all I need is to disable the dates. Thanks!
I removed the AJAX manager and now it seems to be working. Is
there a trick to getting this to work with RadAjaxManager? Thanks.
I'm using a sequence of Panels to control the flow of my page and the ajax affects some of these. When the flow returns back to the panel with the calendar in it sometimes the calendar control has all of it's styles removed and it looks very plain with no skin on the calendar. If I take out the AJAX manager this works. Am I missing something important with the AJAX manager?
Thanks.
