datepicker.beforeShow

in Using jQuery UI • 12 years ago

Is there any way I can have the beforeShow method of the datepicker prevent it from showing in certain cases?

example:
.datepicker({ showOn: 'both', buttonImage: 'images/calendar.gif', buttonImageOnly: true,
            beforeShow: function(input, inst) {
                if (input.disabled || someRandomCheck) {
                    //don't show it
                }
            }
        });

Thanks,
Colin

No, beforeShow doesn't provide this functionality. You could try scheduling a hide to run immediately after:

beforeShow: function(input, inst) {
setTimeout(function() { $(input).datepicker('hide'); }, 0);
}

There are also commands for enabling and disabling the input field and datepicker, such that it won't pop up if disabled:

$(selector).datepicker('disable');
$(selector).datepicker('enable');

You could put

beforeShow: function(input, inst) {
return false;
}

works for me
