Disabled date later than today's date

[Bhavin]

I am using dateTimePicker I want to disabled the dates later than from today's date and I want to show a kind of label showing today's date all the time inside the datetimepicker control  so that when user is navigating to other dates/months/years,today's date would be visible all the time.

Hello bhavin patel,

Can you specify which is the exact control you are using - RadDatePicker or DateTimePicker.

All the best,

RadDatePicker

Hi bhavin patel,

Try this code radDatePicker.SelectableDateStart = DateTime.Now. It will help you to prevent selecting a date before the current  date. Also you can put a TextBlock control above the RadDatePicker, that will display a current date. Let us know it this is not helping you.

Hi,

we have version 2010.1.603.35. I was looking for how to disable dates for date validation and found this thread, which is exactly what i was looking for. But the dates which are disabled are not very clear, i mean they look as if they are not disabled. How to change the opacity of the disabled dates?

Thanks
Santosh

Hi Santosh,

You can make the dates more 'invisible' by decreasing the opacity in the trigger that modifies the look for the IsEnabled="false". I have put a comment in the xaml to show you where the changes in the templates are. The opacity was decreased from .75 to .25.

Best wishes,

sample project is not working. I mean, even if i set the opacity to lowest visually there is no difference between enabled and disabled dates.

Hi Santosh,

Perhaps I have used the old 2009.3.1103 version of the dlls for the example. You can check the currently attached project if it will work with your dlls. I am sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi,
I have a RAD Date picker(version 2011.2.915.35) on my web page. I don't want the users to select  a future date from that,i.e. if the current date is 13 July 2012, I don't want the users to select 14 July 2012 from that. So how to disable the dates in this control that are greater than the current date.

Thank you
Priya

Hello Priya,

To disable the days after the current day in RadDateTimePicker all you need is to set the SelectableDateEnd property. You can set it like this:

RadDateTimePicker theDateTimePicker = new RadDateTimePicker();
theDateTimePicker.SelectableDateEnd = DateTime.Today;

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the support. I used the max date property of the date time picker to make this work. Its working properly as desired.
What is the difference between the max date property and selected end date property of RAD date picker control? Isn't both fulfilling the same purpose?? I am now confused.

Hi,

I am not sure exactly which property you are referring to. Can you explain which property name you are using?

When I set SelectableDateStart or DisplayDateStart I can still type in Dates earlier than SelectableDateStart /DisplayDateStart.
I would expect that this is prevented by the control

Hello Christian,

This is not a built-in feature in the control but it could be implemented easily. You could use the ParseDateTimeValue event in which add a condition to check if the input data is before or after the SelectableDateStart/SelectableDateEnd values.

The next code snippet shows the described approach:
In the xaml:

<telerik:RadDatePicker SelectableDateStart="10/26/2012"
                        SelectableDateEnd="10/30/2012"
                        ParseDateTimeValue="cmbDatePicker_ParseDateTimeValue_1"/>

and in the code behind:

private void cmbDatePicker_ParseDateTimeValue_1(object sender, ParseDateTimeEventArgs args)
{
    var datePicker = sender as RadDatePicker;
    if (datePicker.SelectedValue < datePicker.SelectableDateStart || datePicker.SelectedValue > datePicker.SelectableDateEnd)
    {
        // your custom logic here for example set the SelectedValue to null
        datePicker.SelectedValue = null;
    }
}

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Yes to validate DateTimePicker According to Today's date is possible as follows:
DateTimePicker dateTimePicker = new DateTimePicker();
1. For dates more than today

    dateTimePicker.MinDate = DateTime.Today;
2. For dates less than today

    dateTimePicker.MaxDate = DateTime.Today;
