How can I display current date in kendo-date-picker as the default selected value

Question

I want to show current date as default selected value in kendo-date-picker.

Answer 1

Kendo date control doesn't support default values. Instead, you can try to set the value of your kendo control by JQuery or Javascript. You can try :

window.onload = function () {
 var actualDate = kendo.toString(kendo.parseDate(new Date()), 'dd/MM/yyyy');
 $("#myKendoDateControl").data("kendoDatePicker").value(actualDate);
}
