Hello,

Is there any method to achieve this behavior?

Hello ChunChang,

We do not currently support this feature and it cannot be done by code. You will have to click manually in the time-part to focus it. However, we will do our best to improve the control's API for the future releases. 
This will allow you to set the focus to different parts of the date.

Kind regards,

Hi Rajani, 

You can set the focus to the part that you wish by using SendKeys. (I tried getting the underlying RadMaskTextBox and setting the SelectionStart and SelectionLength, but this doesn't seem to have the desired effect)

The following exmaple should work for you. 

Me.RadDateTimePicker1.Focus()
Me.RadDateTimePicker1.ShowUpDown = True
Me.RadDateTimePicker1.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Custom
Me.RadDateTimePicker1.CustomFormat = "mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss"
SendKeys.Send("{RIGHT}") 'place to month
SendKeys.Send("{RIGHT}") 'place to year
SendKeys.Send("{RIGHT}") 'place to hour

hope that helps
Richard
