DataForm: possibility to specify if use DateTimePicker

Good Morning,

It would be nice to have the possibility to choose if use DateTimePicker or DatePicker during the 'AutoGeneratingField' event.

Something like:

if (e.PropertyType.Equals(typeof(DateTime)))
            {
                e.DateTimeMode = ...RadDataForm.DateTimeMode.OnlyDate, //(or .DateTime) 
            }

Because overriding the 'DataFormField' content with a RadDateTimePicker is a little bit intricate especially for the binding/reference losing.

The control is very helpful to make fast user forms prototipe but in this case it lose all its convenience. 

 

Thank you,

Best Regards,

Enrico

Hi Enrico,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I am changing the status of this to Approved. I also updated your Telerik points.

Currently, you can achieve this effect by creating a custom DataFormDateField class and override its GetControl() method.
public class CustomDataFormDateField : DataFormDateField
{
    private bool isDateTimePicker = false;
    public bool IsDateTimePicker
    {
        get { return isDateTimePicker = false; }
        set { isDateTimePicker = value; }
    }
 
    protected override Control GetControl()
    {
        if (this.isDateTimePicker)
        {
            RadDateTimePicker control = new RadDateTimePicker();
            if (this.DataMemberBinding != null)
            {
                control.SetBinding(RadDateTimePicker.SelectedValueProperty, this.DataMemberBinding);
            }
 
            control.SetBinding(RadDateTimePicker.IsEnabledProperty, new Binding("IsReadOnly") { Source = this, Converter = new InvertedBooleanConverter() });
            return control;
        }
        else
        {
            return base.GetControl();
        }
    }
}
 
private void RadDataForm_AutoGeneratingField(object sender, Telerik.Windows.Controls.Data.DataForm.AutoGeneratingFieldEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.PropertyType.Equals(typeof(DateTime)))
    {
        e.DataField = new CustomDataFormDateField() { IsDateTimePicker = true };
    }           
}
