RadDatePicker ReadOnly

[Lenny_shp]

1. How do I set RadDatePicker to ReadOnly mode so that it prints better (Enabled = False prints light).
2. How do I hide the calendar icon in ReadOnly mode?    RadComboBox has .ShowToggleImage = False but not RadDatePicker.

Hi Lenny,


You can use RadDateInput instead RadDatePicker. Here is an example:

            <telerik:RadDateInput ReadOnly="true" ID="RadDateInput1" runat="server">
            </telerik:RadDateInput>

Please, review the following online demo:

The use of this in the next post was the solution.   Note that just setting EnableTyping to false still allows user to use the calendar dropdown so you need to disable or hide it.

CType(ctl, RadDatePicker).EnableTyping = False

CType(ctl, RadDatePicker).DatePopupButton.Visible = False
or
CType(ctl, RadDatePicker).DatePopupButton.Enabled = False

Hi Lenny_shp,

Actually there is a EnableTyping property which is part of the RadDatePicker. Here is an example:

        <telerik:RadDatePicker
            ID="RadDatePicker1"
            runat="server"
            EnableTyping="false">
        </telerik:RadDatePicker>

EnableTyping - Enables or disables typing in the date input box.

How can disable date and time which is less than the current datetime in Rad date time calendar control. Referering below code.

  <telerik:RadDateTimePicker ID="StartInput" SelectedDate='<%# Bind("Start") %>' runat="server">
                                        <Calendar ShowRowHeaders="false" runat="server"></Calendar>
                                    </telerik:RadDateTimePicker>

 Please can anyone help in to this.

Hello Shubhangi,

You can achieve this requirement by setting the MinDate property:

<telerik:RadDateTimePicker ... MinDate='<%# Eval("OrderDate") %>'>

Hope this helps. Please give it a try and let me know if it works for you.

Kind regards,
