Using jQuery Date picker with a custom trigger button

Question

How do I make the jQuery Datepicker open up by a user defined button?

Answer 1

The question is not clear if you want an additional trigger or an additional trigger. If you want to have an additional trigger. The accepted answer did not work for me perhaps its an outdated version. The below code worked for me as a general trigger

    $('#datepicker').jqxDateTimeInput('open');
