Disable Dates

The DateRangePicker allows you to disable specific days which are not intended to be selected by the end user such as weekends and national holidays.

To disable a date in the DateRangePicker, use either of the following approaches:

• Set an array of dates
• Add a function

Setting an Array

To disable dates by setting an array, list the names of the days that will be disabled by using the first letters from their names in English.

    @(Html.Kendo().DateRangePicker()
        .Name("dateRangePicker")
        .DisableDates(new[] {"we", "th" })
    )

Adding a Function

To disable dates by using a function, set the return value for the date that will be disabled to true.

    @(Html.Kendo().DateRangePicker()
        .Name("dateRangePicker")
        .DisableDates("disableDatesHandler")
    )

    <script type="text/javascript">
        function disableDatesHandler(date) {
            var disabled = [13, 14, 20, 21];
            if (date && disabled.indexOf(date.getDate()) > -1) {
                return true;
            } else {
                return false;
            }
        }
    </script>
