Skinning issue of date picker inside grid

[Dmitry]

Hi

I am looking for some clues to the following issue i have in my dev environment.

I am running version 2011.3.1115.40 of ASP.Net Ajax controls (licensed edition)

I have a grid with custom filters (implemented as combo boxes) and nested detail form view. The grid here supports both in-place row editing and editing of nested detail view.

The skin of grid is set to one of predefined skins (Default or Windows7) (no custom skins used)

the problem: in dev environment when I click row edit or enter edit mode in expanded view, the datetime pickers are showing link text " Open the calendar popup." instead of proper icon, and on click - open calendar but not skinned - transparent view.

if I publish the site and deploy to some other folder on my machine, or to some other machine, everything looks and works fine.

any clues?

thanks,

Dmitry

Hello Dmitry,

In case you display the control after initial load on ajax request you should set EnableAjaxSkinRendering property of the grid to true on Page_Load. You can also see the following online example for details.

Give it a try and see if it helps.

Hi Pavlina,

I have added this property. It did not help.

Please note the following observation:
it works fine in Dev environment on Firefox versions 3.6 and 9.1, but does not work well in IE 8.0
(with or without this extra property)
