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

DateInput doesn't support fuzzy dates. (Where day/month/year are optional) This is useful in order entry applications where the developer doesn't have control over what information is available from customers and information supplied is inconsistent.

The DateInput controller could have an option to read/submit formatted strings or some kind of strongly typed DTO so that given parts of the DateInput initialize as blank/null.

Currently the disabled date function only make the dates disabled, but if you are using the component as a month/year picker through the "depth" property you would also like the months/years to be unselectable if the whole month is included in the disabled date period.

I want the datetimepicker to pull from the database if a value exists, show nothing if it doesn't, and get the current date and time when user clicks on the calendar icon.   It doesn't get the current time.  It shows midnight.  I can get the datetimepicker to default to today's date (on display) and current time if I don’t try and pull a value from the database.

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.

An alternate header with Month and Year Dropdowns would be helpful on the DatePicker

The editors do support inline footer's but you can't use an external footer template yet.

Example template:

<script type="text/template" id="datepicker-footer-template">

    "Today: #:kendo.toString(data, 'yyyy-MM-dd')#, Week: #:kendo.recurrence.weekInYear(data,kendo.culture().calendar.firstDay)#"

</script>

Suggestion to add a footer-template configuration option like this:

<input name="Date" data-role="datepicker" data-bind="value: Date" data-format="yyyy-MM-dd" data-week-number="true" data-footer-template="datepicker-footer-template"/>

if we set min value  just for validation for new entry...then if user retrieve old record from database which document date is before  the minimum date it displays empty. so there should be read only dates available. thanks

Parsing of the users Input (defined by ParseFormats) is stopping, as soon as min date is set. This happens if the date,evaluated by the parsing, is outside the min/max range. 

I would suggest, that parsing takes the min/max boundaries into account. 

Unable to edit date properly, when date is selected from the Kendo UI date picker.

Below are steps to reproduce

#1: Select date from the date picker

#2: Click on backspace in date field(place cursor end of Date 08/06/2018 place cursor next to 8) then Control is moved to another place, it supposed to be at 1

Provided below is the dojo for checking

http://dojo.telerik.com/ewANiMuM

Note:

Don't have issue in older versions in  Kendo UI 2017 R1 and lower versions,

found the issue from the version Kendo UI 2017 R2 and above

Hi Team,

Can you please help on below issue

By clicking on Backspace on the end of date value(09/08/2018), control is moved to another place(control is moved to first 0 instead of 1)

Issue with second Datepicker from the below sample

Thanks in advance

Creating a timepicker with a min value on a DST start day (e.g. March 10, 2019), before the start time, causes the drop down to options to loop over pre-DST start times:
12:30 AM, 1:00 AM, 1:30 AM, 1:00 AM, 1:30 AM, 1:00 AM....

Expected: Time options should continue through the day:
12:30 AM, 1:00 AM, 1:30 AM, 2:00 AM, 2:30 AM, 3:00 AM....

I noticed the error originally in version "2018.3.1017", but it is still happening in "2019.1.220".

https://dojo.telerik.com/ayamEFuZ/4

<input id="timepicker" />
<script>
    $(document).ready(function () {
        // create TimePicker with broken drop down picker options
        $("#timepicker").kendoTimePicker({
            min: new Date(2019, 2, 10, 0, 30)
        });
    });
</script>

I'd like to request adding a clear button similar to the Kendo UI ComboBox for the Kendo UI Date/Time pickers.

Thank you!

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,

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

video to understand the exact behaviour

dojo example

https://dojo.telerik.com/iyEXeDoH/7

we set same data for all 3 pickers, 1 & 3 open immediately as soon as we set the date & than clear them, 2 first clear than open, in the end all cleared but some still show any date but current

Hi
I've tried one of your Dojo to use a dateTimePicker and it's not working like it supposed to.

I haven't changed anything on the Dojo before trying it. This behavior as not cause us any problem so far, it was just to inform you.

I try to enter a time in a PM, but it puts it in AM

Actual behavior:

User uses down key or mouse scroll to change the time. A 00:00 hour is set instead of chosen hour on blur.

Expected behavior:

A value chosen by user remains selected. It's not changed by the timepicker.

Additional Context:

This problem occurs only when picker.enable(true) is called after component creation and user uses down arrow / mouse scroll to get to the the 'previous' day. When no .enable method is called everything works fine. Please see attached code snippets and gifs.

Dojo link: https://dojo.telerik.com/OZEDuFEg

Bug can be reproduced using the following code snippet:

 $(document).ready(function () {
    // create TimePicker from input HTML element
    var picker = $("#timepicker").kendoTimePicker({
            dateInput: true,
            format: 'HH:mm'
        }).data('kendoTimePicker');
    picker.enable(true)
});

Removing 

picker.enable(true)

fixes the issue

Sometimes it's useful to limit users to only selecting a certain day of the week. This is possible with jQuery UI but not, AFAIK with Kendo.
