DatePicker for touchscreen

[Lander]

More in particular for selecting date of birth.

 

Is there an option available to show only years when opening the control.

After selecting a year we show the months and afterwards the days. After selecting the day, the final date of birth is filled in in the control.

This would avoid a lot of extra touch events for our users.

Could this work by switching the selection from year/mont/day between each selection. Can we avoid the popup from opening.closing every time?

Thank you for your support.

Hello Koen,

The RadCalendar used inside the RadDatePicker has a DisplayMode property which you can set to DecadeView in this scenario to achieve the desired result. You can set this property via the CalendarStyle of the RadDatePicker, like so:

<Grid>
    <Grid.Resources>
        <Style x:Key="CaldendarStyle" TargetType="telerik:RadCalendar" BasedOn="{StaticResource RadCalendarStyle}">
            <Setter Property="DisplayMode" Value="DecadeView" />
        </Style>
    </Grid.Resources>
    <telerik:RadDatePicker CalendarStyle="{StaticResource CaldendarStyle}"/>
</Grid>

Please let me know if this works for you.
