When re-selecting the already selected date, the datepicker textbox gets emtpy

[Daniel Knoll]

Hi,
When re-selecting the already selected date, the datepicker textbox gets emtpy.
As a workaround, I manually set the selecteddate in this case:

 

private void DatePicker_SelectionChanged(object sender, Telerik.Windows.Controls.SelectionChangedEventArgs e)

{

 

  if (this.DatePicker.SelectedDate == null && ((System.DateTime)(((object[])(e.RemovedItems))[0])).Date != null)

 

 

  {

 

    this.DatePicker.SelectedDate = ((System.DateTime)(((object[])(e.RemovedItems))[0])).Date;

 

 

  }

}

Is there a better solution for this?
br,
Markus

Hi Markus,

This behavior is intended, but not very intuitive in my opinion. It was made to allow the user to unselect the currently selected date, e.g. to provide Null (no selection) value. I am afraid that I cannot provide better solution at this moment. We are working on a new versions of RadCalendar/RadDatePicker that will enable the developers to specify the selection mode of the control, e.g. whether the user will be able to deselect a date with a second click, or not.

All the best,
