SelectedText

[Oleg]

How can I get the current selected text of the DateTimePicker? Not the Date or CurrentDateText - just the mouse selection. Like the TextBox.SelectedText.

Thanks

Hi,

The best way to achieve this would be to inherit from the RadDateTimePicker control and to get the TextBox part of the control. Then you will be able to use its SelectedText property. Here is sample code:

public class DateTimePicker : RadDateTimePicker
{
    private TextBox textBoxPart;

    public override void OnApplyTemplate()
    {
        base.OnApplyTemplate();
        this.textBoxPart = (TextBox)this.GetTemplateChild("PART_DateTimeInput");
    }

    public string SelectedText
    {
        get
        {
            return this.textBoxPart.SelectedText;
        }
    }
}

You can find a sample project attached.
