RadDateTimePicker in layout template firing InitInsert command

[Jacek]

Hi,

I would like the RadDateTimePicker located in LayoutTemplate to fire InitInsert command.
The problem is, RadDateTimePicker does not have CommandName property (and CommandArguments), so the only way to do that would be to fire command from SelectedDateChanged.

I understand that RadListViewDataItem can use FireCommandEvent method, but how to get RadListViewDataItem when the RadListVIew is empty?

In other words, how to make the following to start working as intended above

protected void myDatePicker_SelectedDateChanged(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.Calendar.SelectedDateChangedEventArgs e)
        {
            RadListViewDataItem r = new RadListViewDataItem(myRadListView, 0);
            r.FireCommandEvent("InitInsert", String.Empty);
        }

Thanks,
Jacek

Hello Jacek,

You could use the following method:

RadListView1.ShowInsertItem();

As demonstrated in the following demo:
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/listview/examples/templates/editinserttemplates/defaultcs.aspx

An alternative approach would be to use a client-side fireCommand:

That should do the trick. Please give it a try and let me know about the result.

Kind regards,
Eyup
