URGENT !! Datetimepicker validation

[Vijay]

Hi,
i have used the following code in 'valueChanged' event, But it does not help

dtpLDDate.DateTimePickerElement.TextBoxElement.TextBoxItem.ReadOnly = true;

Minimum date value that we have is 1753(year), if in any case user enters any value less than 1753(year), then the datetimepicker control does not fire any event(Neither 'valuechanged' nor 'keypressed').
Please suggest me some solution to fix this problem.
Please reply soon.

Hello Vijay,

Thank you for contacting us.
At first I would like to ask you what version of RadControls for WinForms you currently use?
Currently the MinDate value cannot be set to a date before 1900. Otherwise it would throw an exception if you are using the current version. The min date (1,1,1900) is the minimum effective date we have put as a lowest date bound and the user cannot set it to something before than this date. If you are using the current version Q1 SP1 and try to set the date less than the (1,1,1900) could you please give me some instructions how to reproduce this ? 
The issue with the Key events in RadDateTimePicker is known and we will have a fix for it for the next version. However, there is a workaround that lets you subscribe to the KeyEvents: RadDateTimePickerElement has a property named TextBoxElement. This property holds the child mask box shown in the  RadDateTimePicker and you can subscribe to its Key events and receive KeyUp, KeyDown or KeyPress.

I can assure you that we will consider changing the Min, Max dates behavior in RadDateTimePicker but at the moment in this version you cannot set a date before 01.01.1900.

If you have more questions please write me back.

Hi moh salhi,

Thank you for contacting us.

You can subscribe to the KeyPress event of RadDateTimePicker as shown below:

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    this.radDateTimePicker1.KeyPress += new KeyPressEventHandler(radDateTimePicker1_KeyPress);
}
void radDateTimePicker1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
    MessageBox.Show("KeyPress");

}

Let me know if you have any other questions.
