GridTemplateColumn with RadDatePicker does not show filter correctly(no calendar)

[Nicolas]

Hi gentlemans,

Here is my aspx code:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn DataField="DA_RESLN" HeaderText="Date de résolution" UniqueName="DA_RESLN" SortExpression="DA_RESLN"
ShowFilterIcon="True" HeaderStyle-Width="120px" FilterControlWidth="100px"
AutoPostBackOnFilter="True" FilterDelay="2000">
    <ItemTemplate>
        <asp:Label ID="LabelDateResolution" Text='<%#Eval("DA_RESLN", "{0:yyyy-MM-dd}")%>' runat="server"></asp:Label>
    </ItemTemplate>
    <EditItemTemplate>
        <telerik:RadDatePicker runat="server" ID="DatePickerDateResolution" SelectedDate='<%#Eval("DA_RESLN")%>' Calendar-Visible="True" ></telerik:RadDatePicker>
        <asp:CustomValidator ID="DatePickerDateResolution_Validator" runat="server" ErrorMessage="*Obligatoire" Display="Dynamic" ValidateEmptyText="True" ControlToValidate="DatePickerDateResolution" OnServerValidate="dtePickerDaReslnValidator_ServerValidate"></asp:CustomValidator>
    </EditItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

I must be missing something here because the filter is rendered correctly and works perfectly except that it dosent show the calendar at right of the inputbox just like a GridDateTimeColumn does. Anyone ??

Thanks in advance,

Hi Nicolas,

Please note that the GridTemplateColumn does not generate a specific input control for filtering depending on the DataField type. Instead, you need to use FilterTemplate to achieve the requested functionality. Please refer to the ShippedDate column in the following example for an actual implementation:

Hi,

We were having this same issue at our company, and I came across this post in search of an answer.  I wanted to respond by noting that when converting a GridBoundColumn to a GridTemplateColumn, the designer automatically converts the filter to an EditItemTemplate, rather than the FilterTemplate (which does in fact work with the Rad Date Picker). 

I just wanted to respond so that in a future release, you guys can possibly update the designer to take this into account.

Thanks,

Patrick

Hello Patrick,

Thank you for your feedback. Generally, RadGrid provides a GridDateColumn which addresses this requirement:
