Column bound to DateTime field doesn't handle Time.

[Joel Palmer]

When I bind a GridViewDataColumn to a DateTime field, I am not allowed to set the Time.  Seems like a reasonable expectation. 

The default state of the column seems to give us the worst of both worlds because the time is displayed when not edited but when we are in edit mode I can't change it.  If the default is just a calendar then don't display the time in the column.  If the default is to handle time then expose the RadDateTimeEditor instead of the RadDateEditor while editing.

How can I accomplish what I want?  Is it a setting in XAML or do I need to capture the column on creation and define it differently?  I'm always appreciative of XAML and Code examples.

Hi Joel,

You can easily update the editing element with the help of a CellEditTemplate like that: 

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Established}"
                                           Header="Est."
                                           DataFormatString="{}{0:yyyy}">
                   <telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellEditTemplate>
                       <DataTemplate>
                           <telerik:RadDateTimePicker SelectedDate="{Binding Established}" />
                       </DataTemplate>
                   </telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellEditTemplate>
               </telerik:GridViewDataColumn>
