Hi Murray,

I will answer you in the same way I did in the other tickets:

We introduced our new RadDateTimePicker control this Q2 release and we made some required changes with date and time pickers. We tried to make as few changes to the controls as possible. Now RadDatePicker and RadTimePicker controls inherit RadDateTimePicker.

These properties are Obsolete for now. That's the reason they have no effect on the calendar. They will be removed in Q3 release. If you want to disable the week numbers, for example, I would suggest you to set a Style for CalendarStyle property and in this style you could set the value for the property AreWeekNumbersVisible to False. The same is for the other properties.

The main reason to obsolete all these properties is to keep the usage of RadDate/TimePicker in Silverlight and WPF standardized.

Kind regards,
George

Thanks again George for your response.

I appreciate the need for standardization (dont we all?), however I'm still confused why these properties cant be exposed as the standard? What Im saying is, the properties are there within the template. I realize the template is accessing the stand alone calendar control but this form of dependency is having a negative effect on the datepickers functionaility. I'm not trying to change the base template of the calander, but trying to set it's properties.

Hence I am still confused why the properties cant be exposed publicly?

My feeling is that this is not the way Telerik wish to go and I will have to live with that fact? The components are great and very helpful/feature rich! I did an in depth comparison with competing vendors and Telerik (in my opinion) is way ahead of the rest.

Cheers,
Murray

There are so many posts on this subject!

I get error "The attachable property MonthViewPanel was not found in the type 'RadDatePicker' when I use the following code:

<telerik:RadDatePicker.MonthViewPanel>

<ItemsPanelTemplate>

<tkprimitives:RadUniformGrid Columns="8" Rows="7" FirstColumn="1" HideFirstColumn="true" />

</ItemsPanelTemplate>

</telerik:RadDatePicker.MonthViewPanel>

Is there an SL4 solution for this yet short of a custom template? It's been a problem for a long time. If nothing else, change the default to not show week numbers. No one seems to want them.

Thanks,

Terry
