RadDatePicker Only allow Mondays to be selected on a fortnightly basis

[John]

Hi,

I'm trying to only allow users to only choose every second monday on the raddatepicker

Right now I have 

 

<SpecialDays>
    <telerik:RadCalendarDay Date="01/03/2017" Repeatable="Week" IsSelectable="false" IsDisabled="true"></telerik:RadCalendarDay>
    <telerik:RadCalendarDay Date="01/03/2017" Repeatable="Week" IsSelectable="false" IsDisabled="true"></telerik:RadCalendarDay>
    <telerik:RadCalendarDay Date="01/04/2017" Repeatable="Week" IsSelectable="false" IsDisabled="true"></telerik:RadCalendarDay>
    <telerik:RadCalendarDay Date="01/05/2017" Repeatable="Week" IsSelectable="false" IsDisabled="true"></telerik:RadCalendarDay>
    <telerik:RadCalendarDay Date="01/06/2017" Repeatable="Week" IsSelectable="false" IsDisabled="true"></telerik:RadCalendarDay>
    <telerik:RadCalendarDay Date="01/07/2017" Repeatable="Week" IsSelectable="false" IsDisabled="true"></telerik:RadCalendarDay>
    <telerik:RadCalendarDay Date="01/08/2017" Repeatable="Week" IsSelectable="false" IsDisabled="true"></telerik:RadCalendarDay>
</SpecialDays>

 

Which allows me to disable all days expect Monday. But then how do I only allow only every second monday to be clickable

And or is there another way which is better that can be done via server side coding?

Hello John,

For disabling specific days in the RadDatePicker control you can use the approach illustrated in the code-library linked below. Note that you would need to handle both the client- and server-side DayRender events.

For anyone else who comes across this. The proposed solution does not work.

... keep Googling...

I should be more specific... the server side works but the client side is never triggered. I have a requirement to allow only Mondays be "selectable" if another criteria is true. 

Suggestion: provide a means of identifying what days of the week are selectable (without referring to someone elses very old work).

Hi Matt,

Could you post the code that shows the problem? The example my colleague Viktor linked is actually something Telerik created in 2007. I'm attaching here a modified version that targets Mondays and a short video that shows the expected behavior I get. While comparing this with the problematic setup, I recommend monitoring the console for errors, as they are a likely reason for broken functionality.
