    I have not found how to select the entire content of a DateTimePicker when it get's focus (OnEnter).  I have done this with a MaskedEditBox, but can't seem to get it to work with this control. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

     

    Thanks

    Hello Mark,

    Thank you for writing.

    If you are selecting with the mouse you need to use the MouseUp event to select the text:
     
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
     
        this.radDateTimePicker1.DateTimePickerElement.TextBoxElement.TextBoxItem.MouseUp += TextBoxItem_MouseUp;
    }
    private void TextBoxItem_MouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
    {
     
        radDateTimePicker1.DateTimePickerElement.TextBoxElement.TextBoxItem.SelectAll();
     
    }
     
    private void RadDateTimePicker1_GotFocus(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        this.radDateTimePicker1.DateTimePickerElement.TextBoxElement.TextBoxItem.SelectAll();
    }

    I hope this will be useful. Let me know if you have additional questions.

    Regards,
