Modify the skin of RadDatePickers within GridFilteringItem

[Tomas]

The problem that I have is the following.
I have created a skin for RadDatePickers similar to this
<telerik:RadDatePicker runat="server" DateInput-DateFormat="dd/MM/yyyy" >
<Calendar>
    <FooterTemplate>
       <div style=" text-align: center">
         <a  href="#" onclick="SelectToday(this)" >Today</a>
        </div>
    </FooterTemplate>
</Calendar>
</telerik:RadDatePicker> 

Basically, it is just adding a footer with a link in it to the calendar used by the RadDatePicker. This skin works well in all of the pages of my application whenever I use a RadDatePicker. The problem is that the RadDatePickers used in the filtering section of RadGrids do not seem to apply this skin defintion. I have tried to apply it programatically in the RadGrid ItemCreated event with no luck.
Why is that? And what could I do to be able to apply my skin in the RadDatePickers within the filtering section of RadGrids?

Hello Tomas,

Creating templates dynamically is a more specific task which requires defining a custom class that implements the ITemplate interface. Therefore, I suggest you to implement your filter functionality using FilterTemplate for your desired columns:

<telerik:GridDateTimeColumn ...>
    <FilterTemplate>
        <telerik:RadDatePicker ...>
    </FilterTemplate>
</telerik:GridDateTimeColumn>

You could check out the following demo which demonstrates how to do that using client side method
( ShippedDate column ):

I hope this will prove helpful.
