RadDatepicker

[Atchut]

Hello,

I am using this control for the first time. I have couple of questions.
1) RadDatepicker textbox is allowing alphabets and special characters to enter. Is thery anyway that we can restrict not to enter alphabets and special characters
2) How to Enable dates from today only ? I dont want to user to select dates back from today.

TIA

Hi Atchut,

1) You can use the DateInput's KeyPress client-side event handler to restrict alphabets and special characters to enter into the DateInput.The below code will allow numbers, dashes, colons and slashes. You can remove the unnecessary symbols, according to your requirements.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadDatePicker ID="RadDatePicker1" runat="server" DateInput-ClientEvents-OnKeyPress="OnKeyPress" >
</telerik:RadDatePicker>

JS:

<script type="text/javascript">
  function OnKeyPress(sender, args)
    {
        var re = /^[0-9\-\:\/]$/;
        args.set_cancel(!re.test(args.get_keyCharacter()));
    }
</script>

2) Set the MinDate of the RadDatePicker control to disable the past days.

C#:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        RadDatePicker1.MinDate = DateTime.Today.Date;
    }

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Princy.
