Highlight current date in calendar of grid filter date picker

[madu]

Hi All,

I am using rad grid with filtering (AllowFilteringByColumn="true").
I have "GridDateTimeColumn" with header filter.
What I want to do is to highlight the current date in calendar of grid filter date picker.
How can I do this?
I have used following to access the date picker, But it did not work.

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridFilteringItem)
        {
            GridFilteringItem item = e.Item as GridFilteringItem;
            RadDatePicker picker = item.FindControl("RadDatePicker1") as RadDatePicker;
        }
    }

Please give me a solution.

Thanks & Regards,
Madu

Hi Madu,

Try using the following code:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    RadCalendar calendar = (RadCalendar)RadGrid1.FindControl("gdtcSharedCalendar");

    RadCalendarDay day = new RadCalendarDay();
    day.Repeatable = Telerik.Web.UI.Calendar.RecurringEvents.Today;
    day.ItemStyle.CssClass = "rcToday";
    calendar.SpecialDays.Add(day);
}

Best wishes,
Pavel

Hi Pavel,
Thank You very much for your reply and I modified it as follows and it works fine.
Thanks a lot.
 

protected void RadGrid2_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
       {
           if (e.Item is GridFilteringItem)
           {
               RadCalendar calendar = (RadCalendar)RadGrid2.FindControl("gdtcSharedCalendar");

               RadCalendarDay day = new RadCalendarDay();
               day.Repeatable = Telerik.Web.UI.Calendar.RecurringEvents.Today;
               day.ItemStyle.CssClass = "rcToday";
               calendar.SpecialDays.Add(day);

           }
       }

Thanks, Madu. Glad I found this post. I could only get your item_created method working, not the provided solution. No big deal, just glad it works. Here's the VB.NET for anyone interested:

Protected Sub MyGrid_ItemCreated(sender As Object, e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs) Handles gridApprovedForms.ItemCreated

        If TypeOf e.Item Is Telerik.Web.UI.GridFilteringItem Then

            Dim calendar As Telerik.Web.UI.RadCalendar = DirectCast(MyGrid.FindControl("gdtcSharedCalendar"), Telerik.Web.UI.RadCalendar)

            Dim day As New Telerik.Web.UI.RadCalendarDay()
            day.Repeatable = Telerik.Web.UI.Calendar.RecurringEvents.Today
            day.ItemStyle.CssClass = "rcToday"
            calendar.SpecialDays.Add(day)

        End If

    End Sub
