Selection
RadDatePicker control enables the app users to quickly and easily select a date value. This topic will go through the provided by the DatePicker API related to date selection.
Important Properties
- Date(DateTime?): Defines the current date selection. The default value is null.
Check below a quick example of Time property usage:
<telerikInput:RadDatePicker Date="2020,05,15"
SpinnerFormat="yyy-MMM"/>
In addition to this, you need to add the following namespace:
xmlns:telerikInput="clr-namespace:Telerik.XamarinForms.Input;assembly=Telerik.XamarinForms.Input"
Methods
Date Picker for Xamarin allows you to clear the selected date through its ClearSelection method
Example
<StackLayout>
<Button Text="Clear Selection" Clicked="OnClearSelectionClicked"/>
<telerikInput:RadDatePicker x:Name="datePicker"/>
</StackLayout>
In addition to this, you need to add the following namespace:
xmlns:telerikInput="clr-namespace:Telerik.XamarinForms.Input;assembly=Telerik.XamarinForms.Input"
Call ClearSelection inside the button click event - as a result Date property will be updated to null.
private void OnClearSelectionClicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.datePicker.ClearSelection();
}
Events
RadTime Picker exposes a SelectionChanged event which is raised when the user picks a time value.
Example
<telerikInput:RadDatePicker SelectionChanged="RadDatePicker_SelectionChanged"/>
In addition to this, you need to add the following namespace:
xmlns:telerikInput="clr-namespace:Telerik.XamarinForms.Input;assembly=Telerik.XamarinForms.Input"
and the SelectionChanged event, where the sender is the RadDatePicker control
private void RadDatePicker_SelectionChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// implement your logic here
}
