Date/DateTime/Time pickers need to have a mask automaticly for the date format entered currently users need to type the "/" instead of a mask "__/__/____" like in telerik ajax. I know there is this link http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/aspnet-mvc/helpers/datepicker/how-to/masked-date-picker-grid With a solution but this is a workaround and not a built in solution supported by telerik.
Shipped: We implemented DateInput widget: http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/dateinput/index which can be integrated with: - DatePickers - http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/datepicker/index - DateTimePickers - http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/datetimepicker/index - TimePickers - http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/timepicker/index More information about DateInput component is available in the article below: http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/controls/editors/dateinput/overview
I agree this would be very useful for the DateTimePicker, DatePicker and TimePicker controls.
I added thi functionality and fixed the demo in the link so it workes in a kendo grid now. This works for kendoDatePicker and kendoDateTimePicker. (function ($) { var kendo = window.kendo, ui = kendo.ui, Widget = ui.Widget; CHANGE = "change", BLUR = "blur", [ { type: 'DateTime', defaultMask: '00/00/0000 00:00', container: '.k-datetimepicker' }, { type: 'Date', defaultMask: '00/00/0000', container: '.k-datepicker' }] .forEach(function(x) { var baseName = 'kendo' + x.type + 'Picker'; var newName = "Masked" + x.type + "Picker"; var _basePlugin = $.fn[baseName]; var maskedPicker = Widget.extend({ init: function (element, options) { var that = this; Widget.fn.init.call(this, element, options); $(element).kendoMaskedTextBox({ mask: options.mask || x.defaultMask }); _basePlugin.call($(element), options) .closest(x.container) .add(element) .removeClass("k-textbox"); that.element.on("blur", function () { that.trigger("change"); }); }, options: { name: newName, dateOptions: {} }, destroy: function () { var that = this; Widget.fn.destroy.call(that); kendo.destroy(that.element); }, value: function (value) { var datepicker = this.element.data(baseName); if (value === undefined) { return datepicker.value(); } datepicker.value(value); }, //Export the events the control can fire events: [CHANGE] }); ui.plugin(maskedPicker); $.fn[baseName] = $.fn['kendo' + newName]; }); })(jQuery);
