Issue While using datetimepicker adv for date entry using keyboard only.

[singh]

date format of control is - dd/MM/yyyy

and consider today date is 29/09/2022

If user tries to change the date from 29/09 to 31/10 then.. we are not able to change the date in one go from keyboard. as first focus will go on day.. and 31 day doesn't fall in September month. so first we have to change month and then day.... 

Their should be some easy way so that datetimepicker can allow to change day then month and then year. 

we should be able to type 31/10/2022 while overwrite date on 29/09/2022.

Hi Singh,

As DateTimePickerAdv is a classic control, could you please use SfDateTimeEdit control which already has this behavior? For your reference, kindly refer to the sample below.

Same issue in this control also. If i use  DateTimeEditingMode.Mask... 

Main point is i need  AutoForwarding /Mask....(In mask mode overwrite date )

  '

        Me.SfDateTimeEdit1.Cursor = System.Windows.Forms.Cursors.Default

        Me.SfDateTimeEdit1.DateTimeEditingMode = Syncfusion.WinForms.Input.Enums.DateTimeEditingMode.Mask

        Me.SfDateTimeEdit1.DateTimePattern = Syncfusion.WinForms.Input.Enums.DateTimePattern.Custom

        Me.SfDateTimeEdit1.Format = "dd/MM/yyyy"

        Me.SfDateTimeEdit1.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(383, 106)

        Me.SfDateTimeEdit1.Name = "SfDateTimeEdit1"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

In datetimepickeradv. i am using following properties.

  DateTimePickerAdv1.Format = System.Windows.Forms.DateTimePickerFormat.Custom

        DateTimePickerAdv1.CustomFormat = "dd/MM/yyyy"

        DateTimePickerAdv1.NullString = "(none)"

        DateTimePickerAdv1.ShowCheckBox = False

        DateTimePickerAdv1.IsNullDate = True

        DateTimePickerAdv1.AutoForwarding = True

        DateTimePickerAdv1.NullModeKeyReset = Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.NullModeKeyReset.NumericKeys

        DateTimePickerAdv1.Value = Now.Date

        DateTimePickerAdv1.ResetSelectionOnFocus = True

Issue is resolved after using the event

Private Sub SfDateTimeEdit1_DateTimeValidating(sender As SfDateTimeEdit, e As ValidatingEventArgs) Handles SfDateTimeEdit1.DateTimeValidating

If e.IsError Then

e.Cancel = True

End If

End Sub

But i want to get if date entered is valid or not in code also.....Which property we can use to check that date is valid or not.... Or control showing any error or not..

also requreid NullModeKeyReset , ​How to change date if date is null... using keyboard....

You can validate the Date by using the DateTimeValidating event. Please use e.IsError (in DateTimeValidating event) to determine whether the input is valid or not.
