Hello,

You should use javascript to get the old and new values in the client side CalendarClosed event. The event is passed two arguments sender (the WebDatePicker Control) & eventArgs. From the eventArgs you can get the old and new values:

function CalendarClosed(sender, eventArgs)
{
 ///<summary>
 ///
 ///</summary>
 ///<param name="sender" type="Infragistics.Web.UI.WebDatePicker"></param>
 ///<param name="eventArgs" type="Infragistics.Web.UI.TextEditorValueChangingEventArgs"></param>

    var old_val = eventArgs.get_oldValue();
    var new_val = eventArgs.get_value();

....

}

Thanks,

Valerie

ah.. thank you very much..

that is working just dandy.

okay, so I can now get the value. I am trying to set the value but it is not working.

dropdown calendar, select any day, returns m/d/y 12:00 AM

I want it to return m/d/y 00:01 AM

My code is below..

the other thing is this should only do this 1 time, hence the boolean compare

var dp1 = new Boolean();

       function dp1_ft(sender, eventArgs) {

           if (dp1 == false) {
               dp1 = true;
               var dp = $find("<%=WebDatePicker1.ClientID%>");
               if (!dp) {
                   return;
               }
               else {
                   var new_val = eventArgs.get_value();
                   var replacementDate = new Date()
                   replacementDate = (new_val.getMonth() + 1) + '/' + new_val.getDate() + '/' + new_val.getFullYear() + ' 00:01 AM';

                   alert('newvalue=' + replacementDate);
                   dp.set_text(replacementDate);
                   dp.set_value(replacementDate);
                   alert(' newvalue=' + dp.get_value());
               }
           }
       }

so here is the complete function..

 function dp1_ft(sender, eventArgs) {

           if (dp1 == false) {
               dp1 = true;
               var dp = $find("<%=WebDatePicker1.ClientID%>");
               if (!dp) {
                   return;
               }
               else {
                   var new_val = eventArgs.get_value();
                   var replacementDate = new Date()
                   replacementDate = (new_val.getMonth() + 1) + '/' + new_val.getDate() + '/' + new_val.getFullYear() + ' 12:01 AM';

                  // alert('original value=' + new_val);
                  // alert('original text=' + new_val.toLocaleString());
                                    
                   dp.set_text(replacementDate.toLocaleString());
                   dp.set_value(replacementDate);
                  
                  // alert(' replacement value=' + dp.get_value());
                  // alert(' replacement text=' + dp.get_text());
               }
           }
       }

I noticed when the alerts were not commented that the control would show the correct value. but as soon as I would click the okay on the alert box it would go back to what was there. example:

dropdown calendar select November 10

alerts in get_value statements show..  11/10/2010 12:01 AM

but calendar control still shows 11/10/2010 12:00 AM

I have tried changing the time value to something else like 2AM, but it still doesn't change.

Hello,

You need to introduce a delay to set the time correctly. For example:

var date_val;

 function CalendarClosed(sender, eventArgs) {
            var dt = eventArgs.get_value();
            date_val = dt.format("MM/dd/yyyy") +" 00:01 AM";
            setTimeout("UpdateDate()", 500);
          
        }
        function UpdateDate() {
           if (date_val != null && date_val != "") {
                var wdp = $find("<%=WebDatePicker1.ClientID %>");
                wdp.set_text(date_val);
            }
               
        }

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Valerie
