DateTimePicker Dropdown Always Displayed

[Mike]

Is there a way to keep the radDateTimePicker dropdown calendar locked open always or locked open until a selection is made regardless of focus?

Hello Mike,

Thank you for writing.

You should use the Closing event and cancel the close operation. For example:

void radDateTimePicker1_Closing(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadPopupClosingEventArgs args)
{
    var calendar = radDateTimePicker1.DateTimePickerElement.CurrentBehavior as RadDateTimePickerCalendar;
    if (!calendar.PopupControl.Bounds.Contains(calendar.PopupControl.PointToClient(Cursor.Position)))
    {
        args.Cancel = args.CloseReason == RadPopupCloseReason.Mouse;
    }
}

 
Let me know if I can assist you further.
