Appearance

In this article, you will find information about the styling options and rendering of the Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC DateInput.

For a live example, visit the Appearance Demo of the DateInput.

Options

The DateInput supports the following styling options:

• Size—configures the overall size of the component.
• Rounded—configures the border radius of the component.
• FillMode—configures how the color is applied to the component.

Size

The Size option controls the size of the input of the DateInput. The k-input-{size} class, which is applied to the wrapping span element of the DateInput, reflects the value of the Size option.

The following values are available for the Size option:

• Small—small size (applies the k-input-sm class to the wrapping span element)
• Medium—medium size (applies the k-input-md class to the wrapping span element)
• Large—large size (applies the k-input-lg class to the wrapping span element)
• None—unset.

The default size value is Medium.

    @(Html.Kendo().DateInput()
        .Name("dateinput")
        .Size(ComponentSize.Medium)
    )

Rounded

The Rounded option controls the border radius of the rendered input. The class that corresponds to the Rounded option is k-rounded-{rounded}.

The following values are available for the Rounded option:

• Small—small border radius (applies the k-rounded-sm class to the wrapping span element)
• Medium—medium border radius (applies the k-rounded-md class to the wrapping span element)
• Large—large border radius (applies the k-rounded-lg class to the wrapping span element)
• Full—largest border radius (applies the k-rounded-full class to the wrapping span element)
• None—unset.

The default rounded value is Medium.

    @(Html.Kendo().DateInput()
        .Name("dateinput")
        .Rounded(Rounded.Medium)
    )

FillMode

The fillMode option controls the way the color is applied to the rendered input. The k-input-{fillMode} class, which is applied to the wrapping span element of the DateInput, reflects the value of the FillMode option.

The following values are available for the FillMode option:

• Solid—applies the k-input-solid class to the wrapping span element
• Flat—applies the k-input-flat class to the wrapping span element
• Outline—applies the k-input-outline class to the wrapping span element
• None—unset.

The default fillMode value is Solid.

    @(Html.Kendo().DateInput()
        .Name("dateinput")
        .FillMode(FillMode.Solid)
    )

Rendering

Starting with version R1 2022, the component has a new rendering. For additional information on the decision behind these changes, visit the Components Rendering Overview article.

To review the latest rendering of the component, refer to the HTML specifications in the Kendo UI Themes Monorepo. The tests folder of the repository contains the rendering for all flavors of the components, providing a clear reference for how their elements are structured. The rendering information can help you customize a component's appearance and behavior by applying custom CSS or JavaScript to suit specific design or functional requirements.
