Restrict keyboard input in the DatePicker control to numerics and forward slace

[Chhavi]

Hi ,

We have a validation related requirement on the datepicker control. The datepicker control should not allow alphabets or special chars to be keyed in.  It should allow only numerics, backspace and forward slaces keys for example: 10/10/2022. 

The requirement is to validate it as soon as its keyed in instead of when the control lose focus.

Because datepicker control does not have keydown/key press event, I added a jquery script as below and it works fine but we dont want to repeat the script for all the date pickers controls on different screens across the project. Is there any feature of the control it self that can be used everywhere??

 

Thanks,

Chhavi

Hi,

 

Thank you for contacting us.

You can achieve this requirement using the .DateInput(true) property provided by the DatePicker component:

Here is a live sample I've prepared for you to check:

Can you give this setting a try and let me know if it helps you?
