[Solved] Change DateTime Filter Popup Location

[Casey]

Hello,

I'm using version 2009.1.311.20 and IE 8. I would like to be able to change the position of the datepicker's popup, but can't figure out how to do it since the datepicker is in the RadGrid. If I could do it server side that would be fine as I am utilizing the item created event of the RadGrid and would like to place the code there.

Thanks,
Casey

Hello Casey,

You can determine the position of RadDatePicker's popup manually using its client-side API for this purpose. See how this is done on the following intergration example on our site:

and adopt it for your particular configuration.

Sebastian,

I'm having trouble getting this to work for the filter textbox. In the example it was for a TextBox in an EditItemTemplate. I don't see a way to add the events to the textbox in the filter as has been done in the example for the textbox in the EditItemTemplate.

I tried with the grid column as both a GridBoundColumn and a GridDateTimeColumn. I got just the textbox part of the filter to show when using GridDateTimeColumn, but I couldn't figure out how to make the calendar pop-up when the user clicks in the box.

Here is what I tried with the GridDateTimeColumn. If there is a way to get the calendar to show, without the DatePopUpButton being visible that would be great.

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridFilteringItem)
        {
            GridFilteringItem filteringItem = e.Item as GridFilteringItem;
            RadDatePicker box3 = filteringItem["column4"].Controls[0] as RadDatePicker;
            box3.DatePopupButton.Visible = false;
        }

    }

Thanks,
Casey

Hello Casey,

I think that if you set the ShowPopupOnFocus property of the RadDatePicker instance named "box3" you will get the desired result. See this online demo of the product for details:

Hi Sebastian,

Thanks for that info; however, I do not see a "ShowPopupOnFocus" property for box3. Is this a newer property or did it exist in Q1 2009?

Thanks,
Casey

Hi Casey,

This property has been introduced in the Q2 2009 release of the suite. I suggest you migrate to the latest version 2009.2.826 following the steps from here to take advantage of this new data picker functionality.

Thanks for your assistance Sebastian. I do not think our company has any plans to upgrade at the present time, so this will just have to wait until they decide to upgrade.
