Any advice to retrieve selected date on client-side

[Utku Ozan]

I am using Telerik Rad Controls 2008 Q3 in my bussiness. In an application I need to copy the selected date of a RadDatePicker to another. I can access the objects with thie client side ID's. But the problem is I do not have a clien-side event to handle this process. Currently the RadDatePicker has only OnPopUpOpening, OnPopUpClosing and  OnDateSelected event of which OnDateSelected is the only useful one. I can catch the date whenever it is typed manually with client-side "onchange" event. But I want to access the value whenever the user selectes the date via the monthly view. But "OnDateSelected" event fires before the value is set to textbox of the calendar.

So, how can I copy the context on a Calendar-Text Box when the value is set by using the pop-up calendar?

Regards.

Hi Utku Ozan,

Try the following code and see whether it suits your need.

aspx:

    <telerik:RadDatePicker ID="RadDatePicker1" runat="server">
        <ClientEvents OnDateSelected="OnDateSelected" />
    </telerik:RadDatePicker>
    <telerik:RadDatePicker ID="RadDatePicker2" runat="server">
    </telerik:RadDatePicker>

javascript:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function OnDateSelected(sender, args) {
        var dt = sender.get_selectedDate();
        var myDate = new Date(sender.get_selectedDate().format("MM/dd/yyyy"));
        var datepicker = $find("<%= RadDatePicker2.ClientID %>");
        datepicker.set_selectedDate(myDate);
    }
</script>

You can find out more client methods and properties in the following documentation.
