  I got a datetimepicker. Displaying short date format. If I do the size of the control to suit that format, the drop down showing the month is very small. User can use the handle in the bottom right corner to resize it, but I want it to show nicely to start with. Any way to do that other than increasing the width of the datetimepicker (which leave a lot of blank space to the right)?

  Hello Lovsten,
  
  We have provided a property the purpose of which is to change the size of the drop down, namely the CalendarSize property.
  You could use the following code snippet as an example how to change the size of the drop down:
  

  this.radDateTimePicker1.DateTimePickerElement.CalendarSize = new Size(300, 150);

  Please tell me if I could be of your further assistance.

  Hi Telerik,
  
  I set 
  me.radDateTimePicker1.DateTimePickerElement.CalendarSize = new Size(300, 150);
  
  But the height is not resized. Any setting for this? I tried Autosize. Nothing happen.
  
  Please help. Thanks

  I dont think so because I just drag from toolbox and use it. Anything to do with MaxSize or MinSize both are (0,0).
  
  Thanks

  Hello selvakumar,
  
  Here is the sample code which disables resizing:
  
     RadDateTimePickerCalendar calendarBehavior = (this.radDateTimePicker1.DateTimePickerElement.GetCurrentBehavior() as RadDateTimePickerCalendar);
              calendarBehavior.DropDownSizingMode = SizingMode.None;
         
  I hope this helps.
