Add the feature to be able to walk through date, hour, and minute selection in a stepped fashion, similar to the functionality of this DatePicker:

http://www.malot.fr/bootstrap-datetimepicker/demo.php

The gist is to first allow for day selection. Then, with the popup still open, give the user the ability to select the hour of the day, and finally the particular minute of that hour.

because dateTimePicker can show weekNr now, if it is possible to enable select whole week ( or select weekNr), Thanks

When the dateInput property is set to true, the readonly method does not make the widget completely non-editable. It restricts user input, however, the date can be modified using the arrow keys.

Reproduction of the issue in a Dojo sample:
https://dojo.telerik.com/OpIFacOz

1. Initialize DatePicker
2. Set the dateInput property to true
3. Call the readonly() method

Current behavior

Value can be changed with the arrow keys

Expected/desired behavior

The value should not be editable

Environment

• Kendo UI version: 2019.1.220
• jQuery version: 1.12.4
• Browser: [all]

Bug report

When the width of the DatePicker and DateTimePicker is set through style attribute and is set with fixed pixels, the buttons with icons for opening the popup might be hidden.

Reproduction of the problem

1. Open the Dojo - https://dojo.telerik.com/@NeliK/ESesUSoW

Current behavior

Depending on the browser used the buttons containing the calendar and time icons are partially visible or entirely hidden. The issue does not occur if the width is set in percentages.

Expected/desired behavior

The DatePicker and DateTimePicker components should be entirely visible when the width is set in pixels through the style attribute.

Workaround: Set the input element's width to 100%:

for DatePicker:

.k-datepicker input {
      width: 100% !important;
}

for DateTimePicker:

.k-datetimepicker input {
      width: 100% !important;
}

for TimePicker:

.k-timepicker input {
      width: 100% !important;
}

Environment

• Kendo UI version: 2024.2.514
• Browser: [all ]

I get people complaining at the length of lists for timepicker inputs, especially if using small minute intervals.
How about an alternative input mode that allows for faster and simpler input.

This method is great - visual, intuitive and quick.

Few others out there all with pros and cons

Currently when creating a Date/Time Picker object by using the time in milliseconds since 01.01.1970 UTC the Date/Time Picker works perfect.

When trying to submit a form containing a Date/Time Picker, the widget will submit the formatted time/date instead of the milliseconds since 01.01.1970 UTC.

There is a workaround to extend the onChange Event and manipulate the value of the input field manually. This might solve the technical problem but now the UTC milliseconds will be displayed inside the widget.

Might it be possible that the widget formats the display date/time and keeps a hidden input field for storing the value? It is actually not possbile to use dates/times in UTC milliseconds with this widget allthough the JavaScript Date object can handle it.

It would be helpful if when entering a date into a datepicker control you could just type +7 to have it select 7 days from today.  Or -5 for 5 days ago.  Or if you just type 0, it would select today.  Or type 15 and it would select the 15th of the current month.  This would make keying in dates much faster than using the calendar.

when mouse click in a kendoDatePicker, control will auto choose date part at clicked position, and we can use left and right arrow to go to another date part, use up and down arrow to cycle through all possible value of that part, or input number (month name in the case) directly instead

For the datepicker control, it would be great if it could support relative values for the min and max range like the jQuery datepicker does.  For instance, you can set minDate: 0, which is today.  Or you can say maxDate: "+6M" for a max date of 6 months from today (as in their documentation: https://api.jqueryui.com/datepicker/#option-maxDate).  These generic expressions make it much easier to set restrictions.

Have the time drop down function kind of like normal drop downs, where they don't filter, but will jump down to the time you start typing after opening the drop down like the drop downs do when you start typing after opening them.

I noticed that the time picker would not parse a 3 or 4 digit time w/ am/pm (that doesn't have a ":" separator) even though there wouldn't be any ambiguity based on the parseFormat array.  I was told that the picker doesn't officially support any time parsing that doesn't contain a colon and if some work without a colon it is by chance.

This vote would be for more thorough format parsing on the picker controls.  The ones I specifically noticed were failures to parse "hmmt", "hmmtt".  See this ticket for more info and a dojo example.

Hi All,

Datepicker is closing after clicking month or year not waiting until selecting the date.

We are using IPAD IOS 13.2.2 version and loading the data in desktop website in IPAD. Dojo also not working properly in IPAD with desktop mode.

Thanks,

Bug report

Hours are not visible on load in modern DateTimePicker

Regression since 2022.1.119

Reproduction of the problem
https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/datetimepicker/component-type

Expected/desired behavior

Hours shall be visible at all times.

Environment
Kendo UI version: 2022.1.119 or newer
jQuery version: [all]
Browser: [all]

Add the option to be able to highlight today's date in calendar and date pickers.

DatePicker should let developer decide if the chosen day of the month should be persisted from month-to-month.

By default the DatePicker remembers the day of the month the user has selected, and that day gets styled differently even when the user navigates away to a different month: the user selects January 12th and then navigates to August, and the 12th day of August is styled differently too.

But there are many use cases for a DatePicker where it is not appropriate behavior to remember the previously selected day of the month when the user navigates to a different month. Remembering the day can actually make things confusing for the user in applications where this behavior is not the right behavior.

Need a feature  to restrict the days to be displayed in the Kendo UI datetime pickers control.

 For example .   I want to only display say  dates than falls only on Thursday and Sunday  where users can select on that dates and the other dates to be disabled or invincible.

 I want to have a flexibility to change it to other days as well.

The datepicker does not validate the year when selecting a date and prepending the year with a number. However if you put any character after the year it is stripped off. It would be understandable to allow dates that are longer than 4 digits but the picker only goes to 2099.

This causes the date to be returned as null.

date picker should allow read only of text box

I'd like to be able to specify a custom date in the datepicker footer rather than "today".  In financial end of day applications you often want to select the previous business day e.g. the "close date".

It would be good if the datetimepicker would allow starting weeks from Monday. This is the standard in certain areas.
