Is there a way to clear the visible range selection in the calendars when the popup shows up without clearing the selected start and end-dates?

In some odd user-cases it is handy not to show the selected range inside the calendar when it shows up.

Case: Lets say you have a range already selected. Then you click the current start-date in the calendar which pops up. Further you click a new date back in time. This sets a new start date instead of selecting the end-date. The combination of actions requires 3 clicks to set the new range.

If the user unfortunately clicks on the start-date, it's not obvious to some people that the next date you select is still a start-date, unless you are aware that the controller does not select ranges backward in the calendar.

Hello Rune,

In order to clear the selection, you could try to use the range() method. Here is an example :

However, as you can see the range() method, also clears the start and end dates. So in order to clear the selection when the Open event is fired, I recommend you the following approach:

1. Hook up for the Open event.
2. Append a button to the footer.
3. Clear the selection when the button is clicked

Here is an example: https://netcorerepl.telerik.com/cQEoGMFx24laNyHL04

I hope this helps.
