Sets the options of the DateTimePicker. Use this method if you want to enable/disable a particular feature/option.

When setOptions is called, the DateTimePicker widget will be destroyed and recreated.

Value Behavior

When setOptions is called, the value resolution follows a priority order:

• Explicit value in setOptions: If the options parameter contains a value property, this value takes precedence and updates the component's current value.
• Initial value exists: If the options parameter does not contain a value property, and the component was initialized with a value, the component reverts to the initial value, discarding any user-selected or programmatically set value.
• No initial value: If the options parameter does not contain a value property, and the component was initialized without a value, the component preserves the current value.

Parameters

Changes the initial DateTimePicker configuration.

options Object

The new configuration options.

Example - update the minimum date that the calendar can show

<input id="datetimepicker" />
<script>
$("#datetimepicker").kendoDateTimePicker({
    min: new Date(2001, 0, 1),
    max: new Date()
});

var datetimepicker = $("#datetimepicker").data("kendoDateTimePicker");

datetimepicker.setOptions({
    min: new Date(2010, 5, 6)
});
</script>
