In the DateTimePicker, if the user enters an 11 first, then I would like to assume that they mean November and automatically move them to the day section. Similarly if the user enters a 5 in the day section I'd like to move them to the year section since 5x is not a valid day choice. Additionally, I would like to have the text box section of the DateTimePicker set up with a mask. So that when the user starts typing they see 00/00/0000 and as they type they overwrite the zeros so that there are 8 numbers and two slashes in the DateTimePicker textbox at all times. Is this possible with the DateTimePicker?

Hello Ben,

My advice is to use the ParseDateTimeValue event when you want to expose a custom parsing logic. Set the desired date as an argument of the ParseDateTimeEventArge property and mark the IsParsingSuccessful to true. Also the control is not supporting the masked input. You may prefer to use the RadMaskedText box instead. Let us know if you have any further problems.

Best wishes,
