The Date Pickers on scheduler pop up - disable typing?

[Scott Huggins]

Hi!

When I dbl-click on date and the modal pop up occurs, can I set a property that won't allow the user to type in the "Start time" and "End Time" values?   ie: I want them to click the combo box control to choose the date and time.  Right now, users tend to type in values (bad values) that cause issues.

Thanks!!

Hi Scott Huggins,

Please accept my apologies for the late reply.

Could you please be more specific on the reason why you need to disable the input of the date pickers and time pickers?  When the user types incorrect value in the input field - validators catch it and appropriate message appears. Please take a look at the picture below from the "First Look" demo:

Hi Veronica,

Thanks for the reply.  You are correct, it will validate if the dates are wrong, but specifically, we need to not allow them to type in the time (example: 8:15am).  The drop down default is ever thirty minutes (8:00, 8:30, 9:00, etc).  However, some users were typing things in like "8:14".  We just want to "force" them to choose an item in the combo box and not type in a value for the start/end time.

Is this even possible?

Thanks!
Scott

Hello Scott Huggins,

Please accept my apologies for the late reply.

I understand why you need this. Here's the code to disable the dateinputs of the TimePickers:

protected void RadScheduler1_FormCreated(object sender, SchedulerFormCreatedEventArgs e)
   {
       if ((e.Container.Mode == SchedulerFormMode.AdvancedInsert)||(e.Container.Mode == SchedulerFormMode.AdvancedEdit))
       {
           RadTimePicker startTime = e.Container.FindControl("StartTime") as RadTimePicker;
           startTime.DateInput.Enabled = false;
           RadTimePicker endTime = e.Container.FindControl("EndTime") as RadTimePicker;
           endTime.DateInput.Enabled = false;
       }
   }

Unfortunately while making an example to show you how to disable the inputs I found a bug in the Scheduler. There is a javascript which prevents the disabling of the TimePickers. It was fixed and  the fix will enter in the upcomming Q3 Release on 8-th November.
