Calendar will appear.  The users can go forward/backward over the individual days by pressing the [Tab]/[Shift+Tab] keys. A day can be selected by clicking the [Enter] button

  You can enter any number or string in the input field of RadDatePicker 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. If you type “Monday”, the corresponding date of the current week will be selected.
