Using the calendar date picker does not trigger the fields onchanged event

Process Design

I have a date field: LEAVE_END_DT
When the date text is changed I want to set the value in another text field: LEAVE_TOTAL_DAYS

If I change the text in LEAVE_END_DT everything works fine. But if I use the calendar date picker then onchanged or ontextchanged events are not triggered.

Hi David,

You need to add an event on “date changed” event in the calendar. You can use the following code as an example.

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	base.Page_Load(sender, e);
	        
	if(!IsPostBack)
	{
		LEAVE_END_DT_CAL.AutoPostBack = true;
		LEAVE_END_DT_CAL.DateChanged += LEAVE_END_DT_CAL_DateChanged;
	}
}

protected void LEAVE_END_DT_CAL_DateChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	// Your code here
}

Quentin

Thanks Quentin,

I’ve put that code on the .net tab, and instead of // Your code here I have:
LEAVE_TOTAL_DAYS.Text = “test”;

But when I use the calendar picker for LEAVE_END_DT it still doesn’t set LEAVE_TOTAL_DAYS to test.

Not sure what I am doing wrong?

Hi David,

The event handler should be outside the !IsPostBack clause so that it executes when the postback occurs . Try this and let me know if it works:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	base.Page_Load(sender, e);
	        
	if(!IsPostBack)
	{
		LEAVE_END_DT_CAL.AutoPostBack = true;
	}

        LEAVE_END_DT_CAL.DateChanged += LEAVE_END_DT_CAL_DateChanged;
}

protected void LEAVE_END_DT_CAL_DateChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	// Your code here
}
