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.
var datepicker = new ej.calendars.DatePicker({
placeholder: 'Choose a date',
close: function (args) {
// prevent the popup close
args.preventDefault();
},
});
datepicker.appendTo('#element');
// open the datepicker popup
datepicker.show();<!DOCTYPE html><html lang="en"><head>
