Hiding the DatePicker TextBox

[Matthias]

Hello,

is is possible to hide the input TextBox of the Kendo UI DatePicker to only show the button which opens the date selection?

Best regard

Hello Matthias,

In general, there is no built-in way to hide the input element of the DatePicker widget. The options are either hide it using CSS or implement a stand-alone widget that shows Kendo UI Calendar widget in a popup.

One possible way to hide it is to put it under an empty div with 0px width , height and set overflow;"hidden"

 Also have separate button and onclick open the datepicker programmatically. 

<div style="width:0px; height:0px; overflow:hidden;">put datepicker control here</div>​
