Date Picker Start of Week

[jrit]

It seems the new date picker that is available does not use the FirstDayOfWeek that is specified on the scheduler, its very confusing to have the scheduler start on Monday but the date picker start on Sunday.

Hello Jarrett,

You can easily achieve what you are after using the following code:

protected void Page_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (RadScheduler1.SelectedView == Telerik.Web.UI.SchedulerViewType.WeekView)
        {
            RadDatePicker selectedDatePicker = (RadDatePicker)RadScheduler1.FindControl("SelectedDatePicker");
            if (selectedDatePicker != null)
            {
                selectedDatePicker.SelectedDate = RadScheduler1.VisibleRangeStart;
            }
        }
    }

Note, that I use Pre_Render because it occurs is late enough and setting the datepicker's SelectedDate property does not affect RadScheduler.

Thank you. That wasn't exactly my question. I'm sure you know that exposing the control directly instead of having to use a findcontrol and cast would be preferable. What I actually wanted to do is

selectedDatePicker.Calendar.FirstDayOfWeek = (FirstDayOfWeek)RadScheduler1.FirstDayOfWeek;

I guess the issue is that the FirstDayOfWeek for the datepicker should in the case that it is part of the scheduler control default to the FirstDayOfWeek on the scheduler control instead of the FirstDayOfWeek defined by the localization on the current thread.

Thanks for clarifying. I will forward your suggestion to our developers who will consider it.
