Currently, when the "dd/MM/yy" format is used and the "year" part is populated with a two-digit number, the value of the widget converts to "01/01/00" which is 1st of January 1900 (the default min value for the DateInput).

The widget assumes that the year is "00xx". However, we should have the option for setting the century to the current one, hence, having the first part of the year as "20xx" or "19xx".

Example for the current behavior of the widget:

I'd like to request the functionality to make certain parts of the Kendo UI DateInput to be readonly.  For example, I'd like to show the hours and minutes of a DateInput, but make only the hours editable.

Hi Team,

I would like to request the functionality to configure the format of the DateInput's messages.  This would help remove any symbols used when the value is set in the DateInput. For example, here is a Progress Kendo UI Dojo which shows a TimePickers DateInput with a colon in the message.

Thank you!

The DatePicker widget does not focus the input element when the calendar icon is clicked. Because of that, validation errors are persisted even when the value of the input has been filled out correctly. The input needs to be manually focused and then unfocused to get rid of the validation message.

This behavior can be observed on the following demo page:

The demo should be viewed in mobile mode.
