WaterMark in RadDatePicker + issues in validation

[Ash]

Hi,

I want to add the date format as a  watermark to the datepicker. How can i do that?

Also,
when the format of the datepicker is dd/MM/yyyy. If i enter 05/20/2012 (manually) , in that case a postback occurs and the datepicker automatically changes the date to 20/05/2012.

I do not want this to happen, i want an error to be thrown as the user has to input the date in dd/MM/yyyy format only, and it has to be validated against that format.

Please let me know how i can implement the above.

Hi Ash,

The picker will try to parse the value using all possible formats that it supports.
If you need to avoid that, you can handle the onValueChanging event and cancels it, parsing the text yourself.

Kind regards,

Hello Ash,

You can make Asp User Control with picker inside and the required script.

All the best,

Thanks for the information.

I am handling the extra conditions in ValueChanging Event.
When i want to throw an error, for consistency i want it to look the same way as it does when telerik throws an error for date validation.
How can i achieve the same?

i want to show the error with the red outline and Exclamation in a triange.
