{{ site.framework_name }} DateTimePicker Overview

Thank you for choosing Telerik RadDateTimePicker!

RadDateTimePicker is a convenient way to get rid of the boring date and time parsing and data validation. RadDateTimePicker is an easy and simple, but yet essential way to improve end-user experience. By setting the InputMode property you can use RadDateTimePicker as a DatePicker, TimePicker or both. Moreover, you can control the layout of the popups that show time and/or date values as well as use the rich data model in {{ site.framework_name }} to populate content dynamically.

Rad Date Time Picker Overview

Key Features

This is a list with short descriptions of the top-of-the-line features of the Telerik RadDateTimePicker control:

  • DatePicker and TimePicker controls: DatePicker and TimePicker are both incorporated in the RadDateTimePicker control. You can choose to use either one or both. [Read more]({%slug raddatetimepicker-features-input-modes%})

  • Display Modes: You can display the DateTimePicker in four different views - Months, Years, Decades and Centuries. Thus, you can adjust the date-time-picker component to meet your very own business needs. [Read more]({%slug raddatetimepicker-features-date-selection-modes%})

  • Powerful Databinding: The {{ site.framework_name }} DateTimePicker control by Telerik can be bound to various datasource types, such as Object, XML and WCF services.

  • Keyboard Navigation: RadDateTimePicker supports the standard browser navigation paradigm. Once the control has focus, you can press the Down Arrow key to show the calendar. The users can go forward/backward over the individual days by pressing the arrow keys. Pressing the Tab key will move the focus to the time-picker where you can once again navigate. Tabbing again will focus the Close button which will close the picker. [Read more]({%slug raddatetimepicker-features-keyboard-support%})

  • Advanced Parser: You can enter any number or string in the input field of RadDateTimePicker and the entered value will be transformed to a valid date. For example, if you type "1", the first day of the month will be shown after leaving the input field. [Read more]({%slug raddatetimepicker-features-militaryparsing%})

  • Styling and Appearance: Telerik {% if site.site_name == 'Silverlight' %}Silverlight{% endif %}{% if site.site_name == 'WPF' %}WPF{% endif %} RadDateTimePicker can be fully customized using Expression Blend. There are also several pre-defined themes that can be used to style the control. [Read more]({%slug raddatetimepicker-styling-overview%})

  • Enhanced Routed Events Framework: To help your code become even more elegant and concise, we implemented an Enhanced Routed Events Framework for the controls from the UI for {{ site.framework_name }} suite. This gives you more freedom when you design your applications since you can write instance handlers as well as class handlers for the routed events of our controls.
