Radcalendar default to today

[JJ]

How can I make RadDatePicker default to today's date when opens it? My RadDatePicker is one of the column the grid, when I do filter, I like to open the raddatePicker with today's date highlighted.

I am using  2011 Q1.  Is the newest version already set today's date as default when open the calendar?

Thanks

Hello,

Try the following code in ItemDataBound event to highlight today's date.
C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
 if (e.Item is GridFilteringItem)
 {
    GridFilteringItem item = (GridFilteringItem)e.Item;
    RadDatePicker pkr = (RadDatePicker)item["BirthDate"].Controls[0];
    pkr.SelectedDate = DateTime.Now;
 }
}

Thanks,
Princy.

Thanks Princy.

What  I need is only have the today's date highlighted when open the raddatepick, but do not have the filter fill today's date.

if i use pkr.SelectedDate = DateTime.Now;, today's date will also be filled at filter area.
How can I have today's date highlighted on the calendar itself but wihout today's date filled as a selection in the filler area?

Thanks

Hello,

Try the following code to achieve your scenario.
C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
 if (e.Item is GridFilteringItem)
 {
   GridFilteringItem item = (GridFilteringItem)e.Item;
   RadDatePicker pkr = (RadDatePicker)item["BirthDate"].Controls[0];
   RadCalendarDay NewDay = new RadCalendarDay();
   NewDay.Repeatable = RecurringEvents.Today;
   NewDay.ItemStyle.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
   pkr.SharedCalendar.SpecialDays.Add(NewDay);
 }
}

Thanks,
Princy.
