Calendar and null/blank value

[Todd Bannar]

Is it possible to allow the user to clear the selected date in the calendar?  If the user selects a date, there appears to be no way to clear it.

Thanks

Hello Todd,

The selected date of a RadCalendar is cleared when you click once again on it.

If you are referring to clearing the value inside a RadDatePicker, then the selected date, which appears in the control's textbox can be cleared with the following Javascript code:


$find("RadDatePicker1").get_dateInput().set_value("");

I'm trying to do exactly as described.

While, it clears it on the page before the postback, After the postback, the value isn't passed to the control (if I pull selecteddate OR dbselecteddate, I receive the original value. The datepicker is within a control that is LoadControl'd onto the page.

I've ensured I'm not overwriting the value with value from the database as well (disabled that functionality for testing).

Any ideas on how to solve this behavior?

Thanks in advance

Hello Keith,

I am sending you a small runnable application with the implementation request by you.
Give it a try and see if it works for you or if I am leaving something important.

I hope this helps.
