How to Retrieve input in RadDatePicker.DateInput

[Ricky]

Hi,
I use var from1_Text = $find("<%= FromDate.ClientID %>").get_DateInput(); to get the input text field.

How do I further get the text entered in?

Thanks,
Ricky.

Hi Ricky,

You do not need to get the DateInput in order to get the selected date. Here is a sample:

    var datePicker = $find("<%= RadDatePicker1.ClientID %>");
    var date = datePicker.get_selectedDate();
    alert(date);

Hope this helps.

Hi, thanks first.
But I just want the input text (e.g., 2007/11/12) inside DateInput ; your tip will return complete foramt of DateTime that doesn't cater to my need.

Hi Ricky,

RadDateInput and RadCalendar are tied together, so both will show the exact same value. You can try it to verify. Once you get the date you can format it as you wish or only get the date, month, year etc. Here is a sample:

    var datePicker = $find("<%= RadDatePicker1.ClientID %>");
    var input = datePicker.get_DateInput();
    var date = input.get_selectedDate().toLocaleDateString();

Hope this helps.
