    [CLOSED] Disable specific dates and ranges in the DateField control

    I'm curious if I can do the following with the DateField control, and if so, how:

    • Only allow a specific date range to be available to choose
    • Disable specific dates within that range
    • Change the font color for specific dates


    For example, I want to only allow the past year to be selectable up to yesterday, and within that range, I want to disable a bunch of days. I would need to do this from the code behind.

    Thanks,
    Jeremy

    Hello, jmcantrell!

    Only allow a specific date range to be available to choose
    Disable specific dates within that range
    Please look at this solution for these two items.

    <script runat="server">
        
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            //Setting min and max dates
            this.df.MinDate = DateTime.Today;
            this.df.MaxDate = DateTime.Today.AddMonths(2);
    
            // Disable dates section
            //this.df.DisabledDates = new DisabledDateCollection();
    
            this.df.DisabledDates.Add(new DisabledDate(DateTime.Today.AddDays(3)));
    
            // disable these exact dates:
            this.df.DisabledDates.Add(new DisabledDate(2010, 7, 28));
            this.df.DisabledDates.Add(new DisabledDate(2010, 7, 30));
    
            // disable every second day of every month of every year:
            this.df.DisabledDates.Add(new DisabledDate("^02")); //It may work differently because of your locale may be different from mine
    
            this.df.DisabledDatesText = "Here is your disabled dates text"; //Tool tip
    
            // Disabling days section
            df.DisabledDays = new int[] { 0 }; // disable Sunday
    
            this.df.DisabledDaysText = "Here is your disabled days text"; //Tool tip      
        }
        
    </script>

    Change the font color for specific dates
    An the moment I'm working on that item.
    Do you want to change the font color for specific dates regardless which are disabled or not?

    Change the font color for specific dates
    There is no typical way to implement it. Here is a little bit workaround:)
    Hungus but effective.

    <script runat="server">
        
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            //A year in YYYY format, a month from 0 to 11, a day from 1 to 31
            String specificDates = 
                "[" + 
                    "new Date(2010, 06, 15)" +
                    ",new Date(2010, 06, 20)" +
                    ",new Date(2010, 06, 25)" +
                    ",new Date(2010, 07, 25)" +
                    ",new Date(2010, 05, 25)" +                
                "]";
            this.df.CustomConfig.Add(new ConfigItem("specificDates", specificDates, ParameterMode.Raw));
        }

    There's a simple way using css if you just want to highlight dates on initial load. The last post in this thread contains the code to do it:

    In my application, I extended the datepicker class further to refresh the date when you change months and stuff.

    Hello, jchau!

    Thank you for the link. There is a really better solution than mine.

    Jmcantrell, here is the code for a DataField class with setting specific dates in a code behind. And now you can set different styles for a whole cell and for a text within a cell.

    <script runat="server">
        
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            //A year in YYYY format, a month from 0 to 11, a day from 1 to 31
            String specificDates =
                "[" +
                    "new Date(2010, 06, 15)" +
                    ",new Date(2010, 06, 20)" +
                    ",new Date(2010, 06, 25)" +
                    ",new Date(2010, 07, 25)" +
                    ",new Date(2010, 05, 25)" +
                "]";
    
            this.df.CustomConfig.Add(new ConfigItem("specificDates", specificDates, ParameterMode.Raw));
        }
        
    </script>
