RadDatePicker and Label

[Etienne]

It seems text of Label property is not visible when DateInput is included inside a DatePicker.

Label is shown here :

<

DateInput ID="Date1" runat="server" Label="Date 1" />

But not here :

<telerik:RadDatePicker ID="Date1" runat="server"  DateInput-Label="Date 1" />

Is it true for you too ?

Hi Etienne,

You are correct in your observation.

The DatePicker rendering does not allow adding the built-in RadInput label - it just strip it from the table. Please, add a standard ASP:Panel right next to the DatePicker instead.

Kind regards,

Dd you mean "Add standard asp:Label right before the date picker"?

Any chance to get it working in standard way (i.e. using your incapsulated label)?

[Konstantin Petkov]

Hi Evgeny,

Yes, I meant the ASP:Label of course, sorry for the mistake.

I'm afraid there is no way to add the encapsulated label for the DatePicker currently. The problem is caused by the rendering of the DatePicker.

Please, excuse us for any inconvenience caused because of that.

It seems this hasn't been fixed, which is a shame.   Is this on the roadmap?

Hi John,

I am afraid that using the Label property of the DatePicker's Input control is not supported. Please use the previously suggested workaround and use an asp:Label with the picker.

Please remove Label property if it does not work (to avoid misunderstanding) or fix it.

Thanks

Hello Emanuele,

I am afraid that hiding the property is not possible in this scenario, without changing the DateInput control itself.

I was able to replicate the behavior like this:

<telerik:RadFormDecorator ID="RadFormDecorator1" runat="server" DecoratedControls="Label" DecorationZoneID="DatePicker" Skin="Office2007" />
<div id="DatePicker">

   <label for="txPurchaseDate">Purchase Date:</label>
   <telerik:RadDatePicker ID="txPurchaseDate" runat="server" Skin="Office2007">
   </telerik:RadDatePicker>
</div>

I hope this works for everyone :)
