Hey Richard... do you know if this approach can be used to create a custom control for a custom data type (i want to add a date picker to a custom control with a couple of other options)? Any suggestions of the best way to achieve this?
You're right i got it working Richard... however I need the source code as I need to make a control with a date picker as well as some other fields, and they need to be able to interact with each other. Think I'm going to outsource this one as I dont have time to figure it out myself right now :(
Using Umbraco Date Time Picker in ASCX file
I know this is probably a simple question but is there anyway of using the Umbraco Date Time Picker in an ascx control?
Many thanks
TT
you can use http://jqueryui.com/demos/datepicker/
Many thanks for the suggestion Eran, I will give this a go.

Hi,
You can use the default Umbraco control.Add a reference to EditorControls dll and create an usercontrol
Declare the following namespace
using umbraco.uicontrols.DatePicker;
override the OnInit method to add the control
protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{
base.OnInit(e);
DateTimePicker dateValuePicker = new DateTimePicker();
Controls.Add(dateValuePicker);
}
Hope this helps you,
Richard
Many thanks Richard this worked.

Hi Greg,
Yes works also, exactly the same as you use it in a User Control. Just override the oninit method.
Hope that helps,
Richard

THanks for the info..
Hi there
Sorry to reactivate an old post but is someone able to expand on Richards' post.
The bit I am missing is how, after adding the code detailed, do you get a datepicker appearing on the page within your user control.
As background - I am wanting to add a custom user control as a dashboard item with 2 date pickers (date from, date to).
Thanks
Nigel
