Shortcut for DateTimePicker

[Amin]

Hello
Is it possible to set shortcut for TextBox inside DateTimePicker control or any control other than RadButton and RadMenuItem?
I have tried setting shortcut for TextBoxElement in DateTimePicker using:

dtp.DateTimePickerElement.TextBoxElement.Shortcuts.Add(new RadShortcut(Keys.Control, Keys.D));

but it did not work.

Hello, Amin, 

Thank you for writing.  

RadDateTimePicker hosts the standard MS TextBox. It is necessary to add the shortcut to the DateTimePickerElement.TextBoxElement.TextBoxItem.Shortcuts collection: 

public RadForm1()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    this.radDateTimePicker1.DateTimePickerElement.TextBoxElement.TextBoxItem.Click+=TextBoxItem_Click;
    this.radDateTimePicker1.DateTimePickerElement.TextBoxElement.TextBoxItem.Shortcuts.Add(new RadShortcut(Keys.Control, Keys.D));
}

private void TextBoxItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Console.WriteLine("aaa");
}

The following help article is quite useful for assigning global shortcuts: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/shortcuts/assigning-global-radshortcuts 

I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions I would be glad to help. 
 
 Regards,
Dess
