Custom DatePicker column UI update

[SPE]

Hi,

First of all, I'm sorry that my English is absurd.


I made a custom datepicker column.

If I type 'enter' when I want to finish editing the column,

it changes the value of its DataContext well, and the it updates the UI, too.


However, if I just click another cell or other UI element when editing is finished, (when the cell losts its focus)

It changes the value of its DataContext, but not the UI.

So the UI shows past value of the DataContext.

And when I click the cell again, the UI is updated.



I found that telerik's default date column works well.

But not mine... So It makes me sad.


Since I can't attach my solution in this forum,

I copied my source code.

    public class SpeDateColumn : GridViewBoundColumnBase
    {
        public override FrameworkElement CreateCellEditElement(GridViewCell cell, object dataItem)
        {
            this.BindingTarget = RadDatePicker.SelectedDateProperty;
            var picker = new RadDatePicker();
            picker.SetBinding(this.BindingTarget, this.CreateValueBinding());

            return picker;
        }

        private Binding CreateValueBinding()
        {
            var valueBinding = new Binding();
            valueBinding.Mode = BindingMode.TwoWay;
            valueBinding.UpdateSourceTrigger = UpdateSourceTrigger.Default;
            valueBinding.Path = new PropertyPath(this.DataMemberBinding.Path.Path);
            return valueBinding;
        }
    }

Thank you in advance.

Hello Sunmin,

This is a known issue with RadDateTimePicker which fortunately can be solved with a few lines of code.
Just override GetNewValueFromEditor() method with the following one:

public override object GetNewValueFromEditor(object editor)
        {
            var picker = editor as RadDateTimePicker;
            if (picker != null)
            {
                picker.DateTimeText = picker.CurrentDateTimeText;
            }
            return base.GetNewValueFromEditor(editor);
        }

Let me know if this does not help.

Best wishes,
