Bug: DateTimeControl loses state of Hour during postback

Louis de Klerk | Edit | Show History

This DateTimeControl loses state during postback, specifically of the Hour.

More specifically, if this DateTimeControl control is used in a WebPart, and a different WebPart on the same page causes a postback, this DateTimeControl loses the previously chosen hour. (The date and minute are correctly kept, only the hour is lost, and defaulted to 12:00am)

Lets hope a fix for this is forthcoming.

Bug: Min & Max Date functionality

Andrew N Jacks | Edit | Show History

Setting the Minimum and Maximum date ranges does not always provide the expected results.

Setting a date to have a minimum date restricts a date being selected in the calandar view, but allows the user to actually enter a prior date.

Setting a maximum date does not appear to provide any restrictions at all.

The calendar view's default date cannot be set and defaults to Today. This is annoying when the minimum date has been set to the future.

It would be great if this control could be reviewed and changed to work as expected so that the end user can have a more pleasurable experience.

Disabling the text box associated with the DateTimeControl from code

Peter Holpar | Edit | Show History

There is no out of the box support to hide the text box of this control through the UI or using simple control properties. If you need to do that, look a possible workaround here:
