I'm attempting to get a RadDateTimePicker to allow "friendly" input using either the calendar or the text box. The situation is that the current value of the picker is the null value. It correctly displays the NullText in the text box. When the calendar drop down is opened, it originally display the NullDate, but I've got that changed to display the current date by setting the calendar.FocusedDate property which is described in another thread.
However, I can't figure out how to get a similar behavior when typing in a date value. The user tabs into the control. The NullText is removed and an insertion point is left in the empty text box (correct). When the user types the first digit, the text box is populated with the NullDate modified by the digit that was typed.
I'd like to have today's date populate the text box instead of the NullDate. I've tried setting the text box Text property from various event handlers, but it's always overwritten with the NullDate. What do I need to set and when do I need to set it?
Thanks,
DaveL
