Blazor DatePicker open on with a minimum date in the future

[Quentin]

Hi,

 

Is there a way to open a date picker component targeting the month of a future minimum date ?

For example, I have a minimum date in 3 months. When I open the date picker, the popup is focus on today. When I change the month or click on 'Today', the focus goes on the month of this future date as expected.

I would like to have this behavior when opening the popup.

I tried to use the NavigateTo() with the OnOpen() event but no luck.

REPL example : https://blazorrepl.telerik.com/cJYCGmlk51WrceTj48

 

Thanks in advance

Hi Quentin,

Thank you for the provided REPL and information about the desired behavior.

Generally, the NavigateTo() method is to be used when the pop-up of the DatePicker is already opened. This specifically prevents you from achieving the result you are looking for. With the current functionality of the component, there is no built-in way to achieve the desired result.

With the above in mind, I have created a public feature request item on your behalf: Add the ability to set a preview Date. As a creator of the item, you are automatically subscribed to receive email notifications for any status updates.

For the time being, a possible alternative to achieve the result you are looking for is with a more custom approach using multiple components. For reference, such an approach is shown in our KB article: Use Calendar Templates in a DatePicker. In short, the approach creates a custom DatePicker component using the AnimationContainer component and Calendar component. Such an approach gives the flexibility to set the Date parameter of the Calendar component, which will navigate automatically to the required view.

I hope you find well the provided information.

Hello,

Thanks for all the information.

Since I need this feature for multiple Date Picker, I'll wait this feature.

 

Kind regards,
