Hi. I am looking at replacing an old calendar control with the date picker. The old one was similar in that it had a text box and an icon to pop up a calendar.
One feature that I cannot replicate in the DatePicker control is that when you typed it formatted the date for you. the DatePicker does this at the end, but we also need it to do it when you type.
For example if you wanted to enter the date 01/02/2010
you would type
01
then the control adds the /
then you type
02
then the control adds the /
then you type
10
and it formats the year to 2010
is this possible? as i say, the DatePicker does this on blur, so i guess the functionality is already there.

Hello James,
I believe you can achieve this functionality by making use of client side api. Attach 'OnKeyPress' event to RadDatePicker - DateInput, and check for the text and add the formatting character accordingly.
