telerik:RadDateInput ID="txtRequestTime" runat="server" Width="75px" DateFormat="t" DisplayDateFormat="hh:mm tt">

 

</

 

 

telerik:RadDateInput>

How come when I enter a 4p in the box it doesn't resolve to 4:00 PM?  If I do 4PM it works and resolves to 4:00 PM, 4P will always give me 4:00 AM on a blur.  How can I make the this control parse a "p" as "pm" and an "a" as an "am", in addition to the default behavior of specifying AM/PM for the time. 

Using version: 2008.03.1125.35

Hi Jason,

I suppose that in your case the DateInput control has its AM and PM designators set as "am" and "pm". I am afraid that an "intelligent autocomplete" for partial designators is not supported, because there can be an indefinite number of such designators in the different cultures. In addition, custom designators may be set in a given culture server-side.

Here is an easy workaround - you can subscribe to the DateInput's OnValueChanging event, see whether a single "p" is entered and add an "m" manually:

<telerik:RadDateInput ID="RadDateInput1" runat="server" DateFormat="t" DisplayDateFormat="hh:mm tt">
        <ClientEvents OnValueChanging="ValueChanging" />
</DateInput>

Javascript

function ValueChanging(sender, args)
{
    var newValue = args.get_newValue();
    if (newValue.indexOf("p") != -1 && newValue.indexOf("pm") == -1)
    {
        args.set_cancel(true);
        sender.set_value(newValue.replace("p", "pm"));
    }
}
