RadDatePicker(radInput) can work like mask radinput text box

Hi Sweta,

I am afraid RadDateInput does not support masks. Only RadMaskedTextBox does.

hello,

i am facing a problem with datepicker.

you see u can enter alphabets in textbox of rad datepicker is there any solution to avoid this and allow user to only allow to enter numeric values??

Hi Sourabh,

If you want to completely disable entering date, add this setting: EnableTyping="false"
In order to disable just some of the keys you have to specify a function that will be called client-side when a key is pressed and to cancel it on the corresponding javascript.

For example for disabling letters add this to your mark-up:

• ASP:

<telerik:RadDatePicker ... DateInput-ClientEvents-OnKeyPress="KeyPress">

• JavaScript:

<script type="text/javascript">

  function KeyPress(sender, eventArgs) {

     var keyPressed = eventArgs.get_keyCode();

     if ((keyPressed > 64 && keyPressed < 91) 
        || (keyPressed > 96 && keyPressed < 123)) {

         eventArgs.set_cancel(true)

     }

  }

</script>

Note that you can disable additional keyboard keys by using their ASCII code as showed in the example.(65-90 for capitalized letters and 97-122 for small letters).

I hope this helps. Good luck with your project.

thanks Eyup

That helped, but i suggest that telerik team should add the feature of masked date-input in raddatepicker.

Hi,
what is the best way in the current version to have a RadDatePicker with Mask? I think it's mandatory to have a simple property for this and not weird combinations of components and javascript.

Thanks
Ángel.

Hi Ángel,

Currently, the only control which provides masking functionality is RadMaskedTextBox:
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/input/examples/radmaskedtextbox/firstlook/defaultcs.aspx

You can use the EmptyMessage property as an alternative to hint the users for the correct format:

<telerik:RadDatePicker ...>
    <DateInput runat="server" EmptyMessage="Month/Day/Year">
    </DateInput>
</telerik:RadDatePicker>

You can also log a feature request about this requirement in our public portal and our developers may consider adding them for the future releases:
