Client-side enable the RadDatePicker button

[Erik]

Dear Telerik support team,

We use the RadDatePicker in our application and server-side I disable the popup button. Now I want to enable the button again when I start to edit the date client-side, but I can not find a way to do this.

I don't want to disable the whole datepicker, because it can not get any focus anymore after that.

Is it possible to do this client-side?

Hi Erik,

Unfortunately the required functionality is not possible with RadDatePicker control. If you disable the control or some of its components on the server you should again enable it in the back-end. The same is valid for the client side.

Best wishes,

So can you add this functionality client-sided as a new feature? In my opinion the server-side functionality should be a reflection of the client-side functionality. If I set it server-side the next time I should add extra updatepanels and it cost me a lot of performance.

Thanks for your time!

Hi Erik,

We will further discuss the possibility of improvements in this matter.
Currently we suggest you to either disable it on initial load via javascript, instead on the server, or use the server-side Enable/Disable along with our Ajax controls, so the user experience would still be smooth.
I hope this is a suitable approach.


Kind regards,
