Cannot change value of DateTimePicker in locale format

Toke Wivelsted

Asked On November 27, 2019 08:57 AM UTC

I have two DateTimePickers that need to talk together, but I am having problem programatically changing the values of them.

If I try to set the value of a DateTimePicker to "27/11/2019 16:00" the input-field of the picker is cleared and the watermark text is shown.

If I instead use "27-11-2019 16:00" the value is displayed correctly, but this is not the format defined for the control and this is not the format I want to display to the user. The displayed format reverts correctly if I change the date in the control with user input.

I have my DateTimePickers set up with the following rules:

$('#StartDate').ejDateTimePicker({

locale: "da-DK",

dateTimeFormat: "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm",

width: "auto",

height: 35,

value: $('#StartDate').attr("defaultvalue"),

watermarkText: "Vælg",

buttonText: {

timeNow: "Klokken nu"

},

change: DateTimePickerChanged,

focusIn: DateTimePickerFocused

});

function DateTimePickerFocused(args) {

var dateObj = $('#' + args.model.name).ejDateTimePicker('instance');

dateObj.show();

}

function DateTimePickerChanged(args) {

// the newly selected date may invalidate the other datetimepicker control

// in that case, change the value of the other control

// ... code omitted

$(selector).ejDateTimePicker({ value: '27/11/2019 16:00'}); // setting this value on a datetimepicker fails

}
