Maui Rad TimePicker: Do not change Time while popup is open or Detect if Popup is Showing

[Karsten]

We use a Maui RadTimePicker. We regulary update the Time Property from code behind to provide the user with a meaningful starting value.

But if the popup is open, an Update of the Time Property currently changes the current user selection. It's confusing for the user if his selection get's magically changed. Potentially right before he hits ok.

From my point of view the current behaviour is a bug. 

Workaround for us would be to try to detect if the popup is open and not update the Time Property in this case. But how can we detect in code if the popup is showing?

 

Thanks,

Hello Karsten,

We consider the current behavior of the TimePicker as expected - the value is updated in code-behind and the change is reflected in the UI.

I understand in the concrete case you'd like to suppress the update when the popup is shown, this is a valid scenario and we will have to expose API for detecting the popup/dropdown state. So I've logged this as a feature request on your behalf in our public feedback portal, here is the link:

TimePicker: Provide a way to detect if the selector is shown

I am sorry I wasn't of much help in this case.
