Tab out of date picker

[Terry]

Is it possible to tab out of the date picker?  Here's what I want to happen:

A new row is added to the grid.  Tab takes the user from field to field as he enters the date, but in the date picker, the tab leaves the date picker expanded.  I would like the user to use the cursor keys to select a date.  Then the user would hit the tab, the date picker would collapse, and focus would move to the next column.

That does it, Kaloyan, thanks.

i was using a CellEditTemplate with a DatePicker.  I didn't know I could use a simple GridViewDataColumn.
 
Just out of curiosity, how does the cell know to offer a date picker?  Is it because of the format string specifying display as a date?  If so, does this work for other types of displays, such as time picker or integer?

Thanks for your prompt reply,

Terry

Hello Terry,

Thank you for getting back to us.

If IsAutogenerated property is set to true, RadGridView control uses DatePicker as default editor of DateTime objects, if it is not - you can always use CellEditTemplate with a DatePicker.

I hope this information helps. I will be glad to assist you further.

Kind regards,
