RadDatePicker auto-correcting day values

[johnv]

The RadDatePicker seems to be correcting day values if you put in a date that doesn't exist.

Ex: 2/29/2010 auto-corrects to 2/28/2010.

Can I turn this off like the RadNumericTextBox?

Hello,

Add the following client side code in order to override the built-in date parser engine.

JavaScript:

<script type="text/javascript">
    Telerik.Web.UI.RadDateInput.prototype.parseDate = function(value, baseDate)
    {
        if (new Date(value) != "NaN")
            return value;
    }
</script>

Hope this helps,

Thank you for the script; unfortunately, it didn't work as I had hoped. I want the control to continue formatting the date, but I don't want it to change the day. When I placed this into my control, it simply fails validation all the time. I should also mention that I added a startup script that causes validation during the onblur client event.

Example:
2/28/2010 should pass validation and be formatted to 28 Feb 2010 but 2/29/2010 should fail validation and be formatted to 29 Feb 2010

Thanks!

Hello,

I am afraid that the autocorrect functionality has been implemented on purpose and it cannot be prevented, unless you disable the whole parsing mechanism of the embedded DateInput control, which is the same as using a regular textbox.
