Set raddatepicker Calendar Focus to Today if DbSelectedDate =

[Allan]

I would like to set the raddatepicker calendar to today's date if the DbSelectedDate = "1/1/1900"

 Here is my control ASPX

 

<telerik:RadDatePicker ID="rdp_ShipDate" runat="server" Culture="English (United States)"
    DbSelectedDate='<%#Bind("DateShipped")%>'
    SkipMinMaxDateValidationOnServer="True"  MinDate="1/1/1800 12:00:00 AM">
    <Calendar ID="Calendar1" runat="server" UseColumnHeadersAsSelectors="False" UseRowHeadersAsSelectors="False"
        ViewSelectorText="x">
        <SpecialDays>
            <telerik:RadCalendarDay Repeatable="Today" ItemStyle-BackColor="Green">
            </telerik:RadCalendarDay>
        </SpecialDays>
    </Calendar>
    <DatePopupButton HoverImageUrl="" ImageUrl="" />
</telerik:RadDatePicker>

 

 Here is my attempted code behind

 

Protected Sub fvw_OrderDetails_DataBound(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles fvw_OrderDetails.DataBound

    If fvw_OrderDetails.CurrentMode = FormViewMode.Edit Then
        Dim DateShipped As RadDatePicker = DirectCast(fvw_OrderDetails.FindControl("rdp_ShipDate"), RadDatePicker)
        If DateShipped.DbSelectedDate = "1/1/1900" Then
            CType(fvw_OrderDetails.FindControl("rdp_ShipDate"), RadDatePicker).Calendar.FocusedDate = DateTime.Now
        End If
    End If

End Sub

 Any help much appreciated.

Hello Allan,

You can achieve this requirement using the following approach:

Protected Sub RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(sender As Object, e As GridItemEventArgs)
    If e.Item.IsInEditMode Then
        Dim item As GridEditableItem = e.Item
        Dim picker As RadDatePicker = item.FindControl("rdp_ShipDate")
        If picker.SelectedDate = New Date(1900, 1, 1) Then
            picker.SelectedDate = DateTime.Now
        End If
    End If
End Sub

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

Thank you for the reply Eyup however this did not help. Here is my revised code:

 

 

Protected Sub fvw_OrderDetails_DataBound(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles fvw_OrderDetails.DataBound

    If fvw_OrderDetails.CurrentMode = FormViewMode.Edit Then
        Dim DateShipped As RadDatePicker = DirectCast(fvw_OrderDetails.FindControl("rdp_ShipDate"), RadDatePicker)
        If DateShipped.SelectedDate = New Date(1900, 1, 1) Then
            DateShipped.SelectedDate = DateTime.Now
        End If
    End If

End Sub

 

I is the popup calendar I am attempting to set to today's date not the actual selected date.

Hi Allan,

You can try to set the FocusedDate property to the picker.SharedCalendar control.

If the issue remains, please prepare a new basic runnable web site demonstrating the problem and open a formal support to send it to us. Thus, we will be able to analyze and debug the project locally and try to come up with a viable solution for your case.
