DatePicker showPopup()

[Franco De Simone]

Hi,
using the DatePicker, I wanted to show the calendar clicking on its Dateinput. This is the cs code I used:

ForwardCalendar.DateInput.Attributes.Add("onclick", string.Format("$find('{0}').showPopup();", ForwardCalendar.ClientID));
ForwardCalendar.DateInput.Attributes.Add("onfocus", string.Format("$find('{0}').showPopup();", ForwardCalendar.ClientID));
ForwardCalendar.DateInput.Attributes.Add("onblur", string.Format("$find('{0}').hidePopup();", ForwardCalendar.ClientID));

In this way the calendar shows correctly, both when I click on the dateinput and when focusing it. The problem is that selecting a date on the calendar does nothing. No date is written on the dateinput.
When I click on the popup button, instead, it works perfectly.
Any idea?
Thanks.

Franco,

I had the same problem.  The onblur is causing the selecting problem when you tab and click in the dateinput.

The fix:
Remove

ForwardCalendar.DateInput.Attributes.Add("onblur", string.Format("$find('{0}').hidePopup();", ForwardCalendar.ClientID));

and add onfocus attributes to the control before and after the calendar to hidepopup.

Hope this helps,
