Telerik Grid with rage date filter but just one DatePicker

Question

I have this Telerik RadGrid with a date column filter, I'm not happy with the rage filter using 2 calendar datepickers, {edit} to much with or height for that column I have no intentions of validate or restrict dates. {end edit}. Is there a way of solving this with 1 calendar but still using Telerik controls?

Answer 1

The Best way to pick two date (From/To) is to have 2 DatePickers. There is no logical work around to this, and it's "KISS" .
If you have one DatePickers.

That first fire select event get date "from" and second get date "to".

How can this be user friendly ?
If you enter 1rst date.
Then want to modify the 1rst date Without setting the 2nd date. How will you do ?

The real question is why dont you want 2 Date picker ?
- Is it because it to big to display it nicely in the FilterBar?
- If it's a User need, try to improve the logic behind the DatePiker.
Perhaps the Date is not random ? And can be done with a RadSlider?
Or they select a date and get for range -3 / +3 range.

There is no simple solution, because what you need and what you want are not clear.

edit: If you need to have 2 input text with only one single calendar icon, You will end with the same problem how do they chose witch input they wanna set the value in?

I hope this will help,
