RadDateTimePicker not abiding by RadDataForm.Mode

[Jeff]

I have a RadDataForm that contains a number of fields.

When I add a DataFormDateField and bring up the form in ReadOnly mode, the field is disabled.  When I add a DataFormDataField that contains a RadDateTimePickerand bring up the form in ReadOnly mode, the field is not disabled.

In other words, this works:

<telerik:DataFormDateField
    Label="Contact Date"
    DataMemberBinding="{Binding Path=contactdt}"
    />

And this does not:

<telerik:DataFormDataField
    Label="Contact Date"
    >
    <telerik:RadDateTimePicker
        SelectedValue="{Binding Path=contactdt}"
    />
</telerik:DataFormDataField>

Is there a way to get a DataFormDataFields contained controls to respond to the form's Mode?

Hello Jeffrey,

You can try binding IsReadOnly property of RadDateTimePicker to a property in your ViewModel for example and update its value (true/ false) on BeginningEdit and EditEnded events.

That will work.  I was just hoping for something less verbose.

Hi Jeffrey,

Just as a quick follow-up, another possible way to go (if appropriate) would be to define editing control as follows:

<telerik:RadDateTimePicker SelectedDate="{Binding Established}"
                                                   IsReadOnly="{Binding IsReadOnly, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=telerik:DataFormDataField}}"/>
