How to set date in RadMaskedDateTimeInput

[Dumitru]

Hi. 
The question is in the title. I tried to use TypeText method but looks like it's not working. There is a property Text, but it's read-only. Also I didn't found any examples with RadMaskedInput controls in the sample solution which installs with the framework. Maybe I am missing something: some property or method? please help.

Hello Dumitru,

You need to click in the Date Time text input field first, in order to set the focus on it and activate it. Then use the TypeText method and the value should be entered as expected.
 
Here's a sample code against this RadMaskedDateTimeInput demo:

SilverlightApp app = ActiveBrowser.SilverlightApps()[0];
RadMaskedDateTimeInput dtInput = app.Find.ByAutomationId<RadMaskedDateTimeInput>("radMaskedDateTimeInput");

dtInput.MouseClick(MouseClickType.LeftClick, 1, true);
dtInput.TypeText("26082012", 10);

Please give it a try and let me know if you need further assistance on this.
