DateTime Picker in Ribbonbar

[Michael]

Hi, I was trying to add the RadDateTime picker to the ribbon bar programmatically by doing:

 RadDateTimePickerElement dtPicker = new RadDateTimePickerElement();
dtPicker.Name = "dtPicker";
radRibbonBarButtonGroup9.Items.Add(dtPicker);

The radRibbonBarButtonGroup9 has already been added to a chunk in the ribbon bar, whenever I try to launch the application, the application does not load up.

Hello Michael,

You could put the DateTimePicker via the RadHostItem.
Consider the sample code below:

RadDateTimePicker dtPicker = new RadDateTimePicker();
dtPicker.Name = "dtPicker";
dtPicker.ThemeName = "Office2007Blue";
RadHostItem hostItem = new RadHostItem(dtPicker);
hostItem.MinSize = new Size(150, 10);
hostItem.MaxSize = new Size(150, 10);
radRibbonBarChunk1.Items.Add(hostItem);

I hope this helps. Don't hesitate to contact us if you have other questions.

Best wishes,

Is it possible to add a radDatePicker (or other controls) in the ribbonBar using the design mode of visual studio?

[Deyan]

Hi Llorens,

Thanks for writing and for your question.

It is not possible to add a RadDateTimePicker in a RadRibbonBar using Visual Studio Designer. However, you can do this programmatically by using the following code snippet:

RadDateTimePickerElement dateTimePickerElement = new RadDateTimePickerElement();
dateTimePickerElement.MinSize = new Size(150, 20);
RadRibbonBarButtonGroup btnGroup = new RadRibbonBarButtonGroup();
btnGroup.Items.Add(dateTimePickerElement);
this.radRibbonBarGroup5.Items.Add(btnGroup);

I hope this is helpful. Do not hesitate to write back if you need further assistance.

Sincerely yours,

Good evening,

I know this is an old posting.

But I was wondering if this is now doable in the VS design mode?

Really need the datepicker for my group. :)
