How can I implement PopupControlExtender with Calendar in EditItemTemplate in GridView?

Hello,

I've to provide the user in my company with an editable gridview. When clicking on "edit" button there should be available a textbox with the ability to enter a date. This datevalue should come from a calendar.

I would like to have the calendar popuped at the bottom of the textbox.

I looked to the SampleWebsite of AtlasControlToolkit and had success to build a new aspx page with a textbox, a calendar and a PopupControlExtender.

For my question I also searched a lot in the internet and in this forum, but I didn't find the solution which works in my WebApplication.

I develop in VB with Visual Studio .NET 2005, SQL 2005 and have the newest Version of Atlas, AtlasControlTookit and AtlasControlExtender installed.

Could anybody help me?

Thanks a lot.

Paul
I'm not sure I understand your question, but generally you just put the Textbox and PopupControlExtender into the EditTemplate, and I think you can put the calendar control outside of the GridView and just reference it.
Hi, thanks for your advise.

Does this work equally well with a calender control in the footer? My code is as follows.

<asp:GridView ID="gvMisc" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataKeyNames="ID" DataSourceID="odsTrans" EmptyDataText="No data" ShowFooter="True" OnRowCommand="gvMisc_RowCommand" OnRowDataBound="gvMisc_RowDataBound">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="From" SortExpression="dtFrom">
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("dtFrom") %>'></asp:TextBox>
</EditItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label33" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("dtFrom", "{0:dd MMM yyyy}") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
<FooterTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtFrom" runat="server" CausesValidation="True" ValidationGroup="Validation_Footer"></asp:TextBox>
<atlas:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel2" runat="server">
<ContentTemplate>
<atlasToolkit:PopupControlExtender ID="PopupControlExtenderFromDate" runat="server">
<atlasToolkit:PopupControlProperties TargetControlID="txtFrom" PopupControlID="calFrom" Position="Right" />
</atlasToolkit:PopupControlExtender>
</ContentTemplate>
</atlas:UpdatePanel>
</FooterTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
<asp:Calendar ID="calFrom" runat="server" BackColor="White" BorderColor="#999999"
CellPadding="4" DayNameFormat="Shortest" Font-Names="Verdana" Font-Size="8pt"
ForeColor="Black" OnSelectionChanged="calFrom_SelectionChanged" Width="160px">
<SelectedDayStyle BackColor="#666666" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" />
<TodayDayStyle BackColor="#CCCCCC" ForeColor="Black" />
<SelectorStyle BackColor="#CCCCCC" />
<WeekendDayStyle BackColor="#FFFFCC" />
<OtherMonthDayStyle ForeColor="#808080" />
<NextPrevStyle VerticalAlign="Bottom" />
<DayHeaderStyle BackColor="#CCCCCC" Font-Bold="True" Font-Size="7pt" />
<TitleStyle BackColor="#999999" BorderColor="Black" Font-Bold="True" />
</asp:Calendar>

and on the server

protected void calFrom_SelectionChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
PopupControlExtender pce = (PopupControlExtender)gvMisc.FooterRow.FindControl("PopupControlExtenderFromDate");
pce.Commit(calFrom.SelectedDate.ToString("dd MMM yyyy"));
}
