RadDatePicker and RadTimeView popup doesn't seem to be intelligent like RadCombo

[Mark]

Hi

I am using Telerik controls 2008 Q2 SP2.

When a RadDatePicker or RadTimeView is near the bottom of the page the popup always shows past the bottom of the page. This means that the user has to scroll down to select anything.

I noticed that the RadCombo is intelligent enough to detect the bottom of the page and show the popup above the control.

Is there a way of doing this with the RadDatePicker and RadTimeView?


Kind regards

Hi Mark,

Check out the following code library submission which explains how to open the calendar above the RadDatePicker instance if it is on the bottom on the page.
How to open RadDatePicker calendar depending on its position

Thanks

I tried the example and it works well for 1 RadDatePicker.

However as I have 2 of these I share a RadCalender. I find that the code it uses:

    var popupElement = datePicker.get_popupContainer();
    var dimensions = datePicker.getElementDimensions(popupElement);

... returns with the varaible dimensions.x = 0 and dimensions.y = 0. As such I can never get the calendar height.

I tried just getting the height of a the RadCalender itself but I don't know how to do that either.

Thanks again for helping.

Hi Plamen

Yes you are missing something.

In my response dated "9/25/2008 8:50:35 PM" I said that my date pickers share a RadCalendar.

Can you please test this sceario.

Like I also said in that post it works fine if I don't share a RadCalendar.


Kind regards

Hello Mark,


Unfortunately we are still unable to reproduce the problematic behavior you are experiencing. Therefore, it will be best if you modify my project (attached to this message) to replicate the issue that you have and send us steps to reproduce the issue, thus I will do my best to give you an accurate resolution. Thanks for your cooperation.

Hi Plamen

I managed to get it working.

It turned out that my shared calendar was wrapped in a div that had style="none'. Although the calendar would always display when clicking on a RadDatePicker the dimensions of it would always be zero.
