I have tried the following 3 variations and the dates are always set to the current date instead of the date I am extracting from the Grid (see above).

$(‘#startDate’).jqxDateTimeInput(‘SetDate’, $.jqx.dataFormat.formatdate(new Date(new Date(Start_Date).getFullYear(), new Date(Start_Date).getMonth(), new Date(Start_Date).getDate()+1), ‘dd-MMM-yyyy’));

$(‘#startDate’).jqxDateTimeInput(‘SetDate’, new Date(new Date(Start_Date).getFullYear(), new Date(Start_Date).getMonth(), new Date(Start_Date).getDate()+1));

$(‘#startDate’).jqxDateTimeInput(‘SetDate’, new Date(Start_Date));

I have also tried the following for the Time formatted input and it always defaults to the current time instead of the time extracted from the grid:

$(‘#StartTime’).jqxDateTimeInput(‘SetDate’, $.jqx.dataFormat.formatdate(new Date(Start_Time), ‘HH:mm’));

Thanks for the feedback, Peter.

What you mentioned is what \i thought I was doing in some of the options I tried (specifically option 2)… Or is it failing because it is being performed in-line?

$(‘#startDate’).jqxDateTimeInput(‘SetDate’, new Date(new Date(Start_Date).getFullYear(), new Date(Start_Date).getMonth(), new Date(Start_Date).getDate()+1));

I will try what you suggested later and see if it will work….

Thanks,

Thanks Peter… for pointing out the typo I had in my code. Fixed it and it worked like a charm.

I played around with defaulting the time a bit and got it working as well. In case there is anyone wondering how I fixed that, the following is what I did to set the default of the field to the value retrieved from the grid (which was in the format “HH:MM:SS”):

//Object Definition
$(“#startTime”).jqxDateTimeInput({ width: ‘100px’, height: ’23px’, formatString: ‘HH:mm’, showCalendarButton: false, theme: theme });

Start_Time = “21:30:00”; // Initial value retrieved from the grid.
sTime = ConvertToDate(Start_Time); // A function I wrote to convert the value of Start_Date to a valid date

//Set the default of the field…
$(‘#startTime’).jqxDateTimeInput(‘setDate’, new Date(sTime));

// Custom function to return a valid date from a time.
function ConvertToDate(stringTime)
{
var date = new Date();
hours = stringTime.substr(0,2);
minutes = stringTime.substr(3,2);
date.setHours(parseInt(hours));
date.setMinutes(parseInt(minutes));

return date;
}

Cheers,
Cyril
