Rad Filter displaying default en-US date format, even when en-GB culture is specified.

[John]

I've got a radgrid, with a filter setup like so

myGrid = new RadGrid();
myGrid.ID = "ClientBoundGrid";
myGrid.Culture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-GB");
//...initialise rest of grid
myGridRadFilter = new RadFilter
{
    ID = "myGridFilter",
    FilterContainerID = "ClientBoundGrid",
    Culture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-GB")
};

myGridRadFilter.ApplyExpressions += new EventHandler<RadFilterApplyExpressionsEventArgs>(myGrid_Filter_Apply);

When I add a filter to the on a date column type, I'd expect the date to be in the format appropriate for the culture I use. (DD/MM/YYYY in this case). However when a date is either typed, or selected from the calender popup, it formats itself to the default en-US format (MM/DD/YYYY). Have I missed a step?

On a slightly related question, is it possible to modify the radfilter object to remove the calender and/or time popups from appearing?

Hello John,

The picker controls that are nested in RadFilter won't inherit their culture out-of-the-box.
I made a simple demo that shows how to set this culture manually. The same project demonstrates also how to hide the unwanted buttons.

RadFilter1.PreRender += (s, a) =>
{
    IEnumerable<RadDateTimePicker> pickers = ControlsOfType<RadDateTimePicker>(RadFilter1).
        Where(p => p.SelectedDate == null).Select(p => p);
    foreach (RadDateTimePicker picker in pickers)
    {
        picker.DatePopupButton.Visible = false;
        picker.TimePopupButton.Style.Add("visibility", "hidden"); //do not set Visible false here
        picker.Culture = RadGrid1.Culture;
    }
};

Hope this helps.
