    When you click and open a radgrid date picker, you need to click on the date at top to get another window to open so that you can pick the button with todays date.

    1.  How do you seet that button with todays date.  I went into the properties but can never find the right syntax for it to take.
    2. Is there a way to put it on the datepicker at the bottom such as the Microsoft one that has it at the bottom so there is no need to pick agian to get to todays date button.

    Hello Kevin,

    I have followed your scenario and prepared a sample project for you demonstrating how the desired functionality can be implemented. You can find it attached to this message.

    I hope it helps.

    Hi,
    I get an error that says it cannot find my date control.  I think this is because it sits inside a Radgrid.  Is there not a properties setting for the today button on the raddate picker???  the MS calendar control has thid built in so when you pick on todays date it fills in automatically, I would think that radpicker control would automatically provide the same functionality.

    Hello Kevin,

    The Today button functionality can be easily achieved with the following code:
    <telerik:RadCodeBlock ID="RadCodeBlock1" runat="server">
        <script type="text/javascript">
            function setToday(sender) {
                sender.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.control.selectDate([new Date().getFullYear(), new Date().getMonth() + 1, new Date().getDay() + 1], true);
            }              
        </script>
    </telerik:RadCodeBlock>
    <telerik:RadDatePicker ID="RadDatePicker1" runat="server">
        <Calendar>
            <HeaderTemplate>
                <asp:Button Text="Today" OnClientClick="setToday(this);" runat="server" />
            </HeaderTemplate>
        </Calendar>
    </telerik:RadDatePicker>

    It will work even if the datepicker is nested inside other controls.

    I hope this helps.

    I can't get this to work and I get an error if I use a telerik RadPushButton.

     

    I am using this in a radgrid

    Any ideas?

    Hello Moegal,

    As stated in the documentation, the " templates can contain regular HTML, including text, images, hyperlinks, and so on". However, they cannot contain complex server-side controls. Therefore, I suggest that you use a simpler input as demonstrated in the attached web site sample.
