Use DatePicker only to choose Year and Month

[Luis Antunes]

Hi!

I would like to know if there is a way of using DatePicker only to choose year and month, without specifying the day.
I can use the DisplayMode="YearView", but when I click in some month, it opens the month view.

Is there a way of doing this?

Best regards!

Hello Luis Antunes,

There is no way to accomplish this functionality. The RadDatePicker is only able to select a full date.

Ok.
Thanks for the answer anyway.

I leave the suggestion of this functionality though :)

Would be nice to have such fonctionality
meanwhile we have to do our own control

Hi Marc,

Actually this can now be easily achieved by setting the Culture.DateTineFormat.ShortDatePattern property of the RadDatePicker. Here is sample code:

var culture = (CultureInfo)Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.Clone();
culture.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern = "MM yyyy";
this.DatePicker.Culture = culture;

And you forgot to mention that we need to set the property DateSelectionMode to Month
