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>
