With Blazor server, clicking the NOW button (obviously) sets the time to the time on the server since that's where the code is running. Is there a way to trap the NOW button click or somehow give it an offset or define the value that NOW means so NOW will mean the time that the user is sitting in?

TELERIK EDIT
In the meantime, here are a few possible workarounds:
1. Use the DateTimePicker's ValueChanged event to detect new values that are very close or match the server's current DateTime. In such cases, you can assume that the user has clicked on TODAY / NOW, and set the local user time as a component value.
Server Time on UI Refresh: @DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString()
<br />
User Local Time on Page Load: @LocalTime?.ToLongTimeString()
<br />
User Local Time Offset: @LocalOffset
<br />
<br />
<TelerikDateTimePicker Value="@PickerValue"
ValueChanged="@( (DateTime? newValue) => PickerValueChanged(newValue) )"
ValueExpression="@( () => LocalTime )"
Format="yyyy-MMM-dd HH:mm:ss"
Width="240px" />
<!-- Move JS code to a separate JS file in production -->
<script suppress-error="BL9992">
function getLocalTime() {
var d = new Date();
return d.getTimezoneOffset();
}
</script>
@code {
private DateTime? PickerValue { get; set; }
private DateTime? LocalTime { get; set; }
private int LocalOffset { get; set; }
private void PickerValueChanged(DateTime? newValue)
{
DateTime serverNow = DateTime.Now;
DateTime utcNow = DateTime.UtcNow;
TimeSpan nowTolerance = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 10);
if (newValue - serverNow < nowTolerance)
{
PickerValue = utcNow.AddMinutes(-LocalOffset);
}
else
{
PickerValue = newValue;
}
}
protected override async Task OnAfterRenderAsync(bool firstRender)
{
if (firstRender)
{
LocalOffset = await js.InvokeAsync<int>("getLocalTime");
LocalTime = DateTime.UtcNow.AddMinutes(-LocalOffset);
StateHasChanged();
}
await base.OnAfterRenderAsync(firstRender);
}
}
2. Use the DatePicker's HeaderTemplate with a custom TODAY / NOW button.
3. Hide the NOW button with CSS:
<style>
.no-now-button .k-time-now {
display: none;
}
</style>
<TelerikDateTimePicker @bind-Value="@PickerValue"
Format="yyyy-MMM-dd HH:mm:ss"
PopupClass="no-now-button"
Width="240px" />
@code {
private DateTime? PickerValue { get; set; }
}
Try with culture es-ES and you will see the problem.
When es-ES, "dot [.]" is not a decimal separator, therefore you can't use the "NumpadDecimal" key to write a decimal number.
@using System.Globalization
<b>Culture:</b> @CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.Name;
<br />
<b>Culture UI:</b> @CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture.Name
<br />
<b>DefaultThreadCurrentCulture:</b> @CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentCulture?.Name
<br />
<b>DefaultThreadCurrentUICulture:</b> @CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentUICulture?.Name
<br /><br />
<b>Val 1:</b>
<TelerikNumericTextBox @bind-Value="@Val1" Decimals="6" Width="100px" />
<TelerikNumericTextBox @bind-Value="@Val1" Decimals="6" Width="100px" />
<input type="number" @bind-value="@Val1" step="any" style="width: 100px" />
<br />
<b>Val 2:</b>
<input type="number" @bind-value="@Val2" step="any" style="width: 100px" />
<input type="number" @bind-value="@Val2" step="any" style="width: 100px" />
@code {
decimal Val1 { get; set; }
decimal Val2 { get; set; }
protected override void OnInitialized()
{
CultureInfo.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture = CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentCulture = CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo("es-ES");
//CultureInfo.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture = CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentCulture = CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo("en-US");
}
}
[ADMIN EDIT]
In general, our components obey the culture that is set in the application. If the current culture requires a "," decimal separator, our component will accept commas and ignore dots. Our component doesn't know if the user is pressing the decimal separator key on the numeric pad, or the "standard" [ > . ] key.
What we can do to improve the behavior is to implement a feature for automatic handling of the decimal separator character. In other words, if the component detects invalid decimal separator input, it will switch to the correct one. This feature will handle the Numpad key and output it in the right culture.
Here is a possible workaround that uses JavaScript to intercept the "other" decimal separator and insert the "correct" one in the NumericTextBox.
@inject IJSRuntime js
<span @onkeydown="@( (KeyboardEventArgs args) => OnSpanKeyDown(args, "ntb1") )">
<TelerikNumericTextBox @bind-Value="@DValue"
Width="200px"
Id="ntb1" />
</span>
Code: @LogCode , Key: @LogKey
<!-- Move JS to external JS file in production apps -->
<script suppress-error="BL9992">
function addDot(ntbId) {
var textbox = document.querySelector("#" + ntbId);
if (textbox && textbox.value.indexOf(".") == -1) { // or ","
textbox.value += "."; // or ","
}
}
</script>
@code {
decimal DValue { get; set; }
string LogCode { get; set; }
string LogKey { get; set; }
async Task OnSpanKeyDown(KeyboardEventArgs args, string ntbId)
{
LogCode = args.Code;
LogKey = args.Key;
if (args.Key == ",") // or "."
{
await js.InvokeVoidAsync("addDot", ntbId);
}
}
}Another option in the meantime is to use a standard HTML input or InputNumber with the Telerik CSS class "k-textbox". This way the input will look the same as a Telerik textbox and keep the app look consistent.
I'm trying to use the Blazor editor but the "Insert Image" function is very basic. Previously using Webforms & Core the insert image in the editor presented the user with a file management and image upload popup. Is this functionality available with the Blazor component?
=====ADMIN EDIT=====
Possible alternative:
I would like to see icon support for the switch control. See the attached screen shot for the use case.
Support multiple users editing the same content in an editor.
This would be similar to the editor in something like confluence or online Word.

We are using the blazor chat component with Microsoft.Extensions.AI and IChatClient. Currently during a long response stream the chat repeatedly scrolls to the bottom automatically as the response updates. When I use use my mouse wheel to scroll to the top it immediately auto scrolls me back to the bottom.
A user needs to be able scroll to the top as the response is streaming in. If the user manually scrolls the auto scrolling should stop. Any subsequent messages sent in the same chat session should resume auto scroll. This is the behavior seen in most AI chat interfaces like chatGPT and is what most users expect.

Thanks, Justin.
