  I would like to know is there any way to popup the calendar when the textbox got focus. I have tried to implement the gotFocus event and leaveFocus event of the datepicker but it has a strange behaviour. I know that there is a property 'ShowPopupOnFocus' in ASP.net radDatePicker but it seems that it is not supported in WPF. Would you give any suggestion in handling this case?

  Hello Sai,
  
  This feature is not available for RadDatePicker for WPF. Unfortunately with the current implementation of the control no workaround can be made as well. Usually this can be achieved by setting IsDropDownOpen= true on GotFocus event, however in this case when the dropdown which is a popup opens it takes the focus and when close it, the focus goes back to the RadDatePicker and the popup is opened again so you go to an infinite loop.
  
  I have logged this as a feature request in our PITS, you can follow its progress and vote for it here.
