<telerikControlsInput:RadDatePicker x:Name="SampleDatePicker" SelectedDate={Binding BlindDate, Mode=TwoWay} IsReadOnly="true" /> |
Hello, I notice with the current release version that the result of IsReadOnly is the following:
- user can no longer edit date using the text box (expected)
- user *can* edit date via calendar. (unexpected, though convenient in my current use case)
Is this intended?
- if no, I hope there will be another easy way to get this behavior again in the future, without having to tweak the template (as suggested in other posts)

Hi dev,
The behavior of the RadDatePicker in readonly mode is the one you have described. You can not edit the date in the TextBox but you can select a date form the calendar. We will consider changing this behavior in case there are other client's requests.

Thanks, I hope that the behavior will not change.

Hello dev,
The visual modification will not affect the basic functionality of the control.

I've also had issues with this. When I set a control as read only I expect it to not allow the user to edit the value or the underlying object. So I think the calendar drop down should be disabled if the control is Read only.

I am evaluating the datepicker control at the moment after not being happy with another vendor's. I also am surprised and disappointed to see the ReadOnly behaviour of this control allowing edit from the calendar. While this is being looked at as you say in this post, is there a style override that we could use that hides the calendar in the in a Readonly visual state? An example from another post seems to explain how to make it work the opposite way (which now seems to be the default) Otherwise the only work around I can think of is to set the min and max dates to be the selected date when readonly.
Why oh why is it so hard to get a good datepicker in Silverlight?!

Answering some of my own post after working backwards on the similar post. I implemented hiding the dropdown button on the datepicker when readonly by modifying a copy of the template as follows:
<telerik:RadToggleButton x:Name="ToggleButtonElement" IsTabStop="False" MinWidth="15" Grid.Column="1" DataContext="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}" Visibility="{Binding IsReadOnly, Converter={StaticResource InvertedBooleanToVisibilityConverterInstance}}"> |
I hope this does not introduce any other unwanted behaviour. The control is now looking very promising...

Just wanted to add one more vote for "Read Only means Read Only". I could care less if the calendar popup shows up or not (although it doesn't make sense to in this case) however I do care that the bound field can change data. My application works with medical data, and the date fields are crucial, and very sensitive in regards to "who can see it" vs. "who can change it".
