DateItem : Not allow user to type the date

[Isomorphic]

setEditorProperties(new DateItem()) doesn't apply any custom properties.

You need to create a DateItem, set the properties you want to enforce on it, and then pass it to setEditorProperties().

I tried setEditorProperties(new DateItem()) but no success. My requirement is to disable the textbox in listgrid field and just show a calendar icon to choose date. There is no setPickerIconProperties() in listgridfield. Kindly suggest.

You can do the same thing - see ListGridField.setEditorProperties().

If you want to do this for all Date items, you can do so globally via DateItem/DatetimeItem.setDefaultProperties()

Thanks Isomorphic ,the above solution worked in the Form. I also want to achieve the same in listgrid. The type in listgrid is datetime. Could you please suggest me how can I restrict user to select value from date picker only.? Thanks in advance.

You can setCanEdit(false) on the DateItem and then re-enable the icon with setNeverDisable(true) via setPickerIconProperties()

Hi,

I want to allow the user to just pick the date from the date picker and not allow him to type the date. Please let me know how can I achieve the same?

Thanks
