Hi,
I just started playing with the RadDatePikcer and overall it looks very good. I have only few comments at this point:
1. The control needs to provide the input mask for the user. Currently control allows any input and will not prompt user if it's not valid (it is simply discarded)
2. The zoom animation shouldn't play when drop down is expanding. It also plays when calendar is used as standalone control and I belive it should play only when user makes action.
3. Provide control descriptions that would show in toolbox in blend.
4. Support IsReadOnly property so the user can select and copy value but can't change it.
5. Add support for time input. The time picker would be nice but control should at least alow to enter time manually.
6. The drop down button in the default skin should be changed to look the same like in Vista: this means the down arrow with a calendar icon. The button shouldn't be a TabStop either.
7. Dropdown changes width when swiching from month view to any other view.
8. Add today button in the drop-down (optional).
This is all I found so far.
Thanks for the great work and I'm looking forward for the next release.
