To prevent the DatePicker popup from closing, use the preventDefault method from the PreventableEventArgs
.
The following example demonstrates how to prevent the popup from closing.
import { DatePicker, PreventableEventArgs } from '@syncfusion/ej2-calendars';
// creates datepicker with readonly.
let datepickerObject: DatePicker = new DatePicker({
close: function (args: PreventableEventArgs) {
// prevent the popup close
args.preventDefault();
},
// sets the palceholder property.
placeholder: 'Enter date'
});
datepickerObject.appendTo('#element');
// open the datepicker popup
datepickerObject.show();
