Clientside DatePicker Enable/Disable

[Oziem]

Hi,

We are trying to enable/disable a datePicker control.  But unfortunately the following commands don't exist;

$find('control').enable();

$find('control').disable();

We have worked out from a previous thread that we can enable/disable the inputbox part using;

$find('control').get_dateInput().enable();

$find('control').get_dateInput().disable();

How can we enable/disable the popup calendar?  In the past we used something like;

control.PopupButton.onclick = null;

control.PopupButton.onclick = function(){control.TogglePopup();return false;};

Have tried the below with no success;

$find('control').get_popupButton().onclick = null;

Thanks

Thanks.

Might I suggest a slightly better way incase you have multiple datepickers on a page;

function OnOpenDatePopup(sender, eventArgs)
{
        var di = sender.get_dateInput();
        eventArgs.set_cancel(!di.get_enabled());
}

<telerik:RadDatePicker ID="RadDatePicker1" runat="server">
      <ClientEvents OnPopupOpening="OnOpenDatePopup" />
</telerik:RadDatePicker>

Get the Latest build and use set_enabled(false) of the DatePicker client object to disable it.
