DateRangePicker keep calendar open

[Unknown]

Hello

I am using ASP.NET CORE EJ 2 version 16.1.0.37 (nuget package).

How can I prevent the DateRangePicker from closing?

For the normal DatePicker this works:

function onDatePickerClose(args) {

        args.preventDefault();

}

However, when doing this for DateRangePicker, "args" does not have a "preventDefault()" method.

Kind regards

Phil

Hello

Now the Volume 2 2018 release is out but the exception still occurs.

function onDatePickerClose(args) {

        args.preventDefault();

}

This code still throws an exception. The preventDefault() function does still not exist.

Was this not fixed in the new release?

Hi Phil, 

Sorry for the inconvenience. 

No, this issue was fixed with our Volume 2 2018 release. You can achieve this by assigning args.cancel value as true in the close event as shown in the below code snippet. In order to make the event arguments common for all EJ2 input components, we have used args.cancel instead of preventDefault() method to restrict the popup close in our components. Also, in DatePicker, preventDefalut() method will be deprecated in any of our upcoming releases.So, we suggest you to go with args.cancel to restrict the popup close as it will be common with all our input components. 

<script> 

    function onClose(args) { 

        args.cancel = true; 

    } 

</script> 

Note: This is common for all the calendar components.

Everything works as you described.

Thank you a lot for these useful information. I changed all my usages of args.preventDefault(); to args.cancel = true;.
