[Solved] RadGrid - GridDateTimeColumn

[Johann]

Hi

I have the following date time column in a Telerik radGrid:

<

 

telerik:GridDateTimeColumn DataField="SubmissionDate"

 

 

HeaderText="Submission Date" SortExpression="SubmissionDate"

 

 

UniqueName="SubmissionDate" PickerType="DateTimePicker"

 

 

FilterControlWidth="120px" DataFormatString="{0:dd MMMMMMMMMMMM yyyy HH:mmm}"

 

 

DataType="System.DateTime">

 

 

</telerik:GridDateTimeColumn>

Filtering is also enabled for the columns.
The filter for this column will display a date time picker.

The problem is that the date time picker's pop up images are not displaying and the calendar and time selections are transparent.

What am I missing?

Thanks

Hi

Just to supply some more info on this.

We did modify an existing skin; it's called 'MySkin'

If I put a radDateTimePicker outside the grid and set it's SkinID = 'MySkin' then all is fine.

The radDateTimePicker that is in the filter cell gets created when the app is executed - how do I set the SkinID for this radDateTimePicker. I have referenced the control in the ItemCreated event of the grid, but the SkinID can't be set there. It just states that the SkinID must be set in PreRender event. I'm sure it can't be done in the PreRender event of the page because at that time the items of the grid would not exist

Hello Johann,

You need to register a "MySkin" CSS file for the Calendar too - that's why the Calendar and TimeView are transparent and the buttons don't appear.

The RadGrid items do exist and can be referenced in PreRender:

C#

    protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        GridItem[] filteringItems = (sender as RadGrid).MasterTableView.GetItems(GridItemType.FilteringItem);
    }


Kind regards,
