The RadDatePicker is really cool and useful. We would like to add additional supported string formats for when the user types a date manually. This does not affect how dates are displayed, only how edit mode is treated.
I tried to do this by assigning a Converter, but that doesn't trigger until after the RadDatePicker has already converted the string into a date. :(
Is there any way I can override a property or implement an event or something that lets me help the RadDatePicker decode strings to dates of my choice?
* A real example: User types "20130524" without hyphens and I return todays date; "2013-05-24".
* Another (silly) example: User types "in three days" and I return today + 3 days; "2013-05-27".
