watermark content

[David Ocasio]

I assumed that the watermark content property worked like the button content property

<dataFormToolkit:DataField>
    <telerikInput:RadDateTimePicker DisplayDate="{Binding StartDate,Mode=TwoWay}" SelectedDate="{Binding StartDate,Mode=TwoWay}" >
        <telerikInput:RadDateTimePicker.DateTimeWatermarkContent>
            <TextBox Text="Enter Start Date" />
        </telerikInput:RadDateTimePicker.DateTimeWatermarkContent>
    </telerikInput:RadDateTimePicker>
</dataFormToolkit:DataField>

but when i implement the above the watermark displayed the bound class property name
(see start date in snapshot below)

what am i doing wrong
any help would be appreciated

thanks

Hi David Ocasio,

Thank you for your question.

I suggest you use attribute syntax rather than property element syntax:

<telerik:RadDateTimePicker DateTimeWatermarkContent="My custom Watermark" />

I believe this is the guidance that you needed. Please, let me know if you need further assistance.


All the best,
