DateTimePicker JSP Tag Overview

The DateTimePicker JSP tag is a server-side wrapper for the Kendo UI DateTimePicker widget.

Getting Started

Configuration

Below are listed the steps for you to follow when configuring the Kendo UI DateTimePicker.

Step 1 Make sure you followed all the steps from the introductory article on Telerik UI for JSP.

Step 2 Create a new action method which renders the view.

    @RequestMapping(value = {"index"}, method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public String index() {

        return "web/datetimepicker/index";
    }

Step 3 Add the Kendo UI taglib mapping to the page.

    <%@taglib prefix="kendo" uri="https://www.telerik.com/kendo-ui/jsp/tags"%>

Step 4 Add a datetimepicker tag.

    <kendo:dateTimePicker name="datetimepicker" value="<%=new java.util.Date()%>">
    </kendo:dateTimePicker>

Event Handling

Subscribe to Events

You can subscribe to all events exposed by Kendo UI DateTimePicker by the handler name.

    <kendo:dateTimePicker name="datetimepicker" change="datetimepicker_change"></kendo:dateTimePicker>

    <script>
        function datetimepicker_change() {
            //Handle the change event
        }
    </script>

Reference

Existing Instances

You are able to reference an existing DateTimePicker instance via the jQuery.data(). Once a reference is established, you are able to use the DateTimePicker API to control its behavior.

    //Put this after your Kendo DateTimePicker tag declaration
    <script>
    $(function() {
        // Notice that the Name() of the datetimepicker is used to get its client-side instance
        var datetimepicker = $("#datetimepicker").data("kendoDateTimePicker");
    });
    </script>
