Bug: NullReferenceException raised by IGridViewEditor.SetText in DateTimePickerGridViewEditor when typing a key into a GridViewDataColumn that contains a collapsed RadDateTimePicker

Is this the best place to report bugs?

This is with 2024.4.1213.462.

To duplicate the issue:

With VS 2022, create a WPF (.NET Framework) application,
Delete MainWindow.xaml and MainWindow.xaml.cs
Unzip the attached file, place MainWindow.xaml and MainWindow.xaml.cs from the zip where the old files were or use the pasted text below
Build and run the application
Put focus on a cell in a row in the grid and type a letter

Expect the following exception to be raised

	Name	Value	Type
◢	$exception	{"Object reference not set to an instance of an object."}	System.NullReferenceException

at Telerik.Windows.Controls.DateTimePickerGridViewEditor.Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.IGridViewEditor.SetText(String text) in Telerik.Windows.Controls\DateTimePickerGridViewEditor.cs:line 56

In case the zip doesn't work:

MainWindow.xaml.cs:

            this.SomeValue = someValue;
        }

        public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;

        public string SomeValue
        {

            set

                }
            }
        }

        {
            get
            {

                {

                }

                return null;
            }

                    return;
                }

                this.SomeValue = value.ToString();

                "bird"
            });
        
    }

    public partial class MainWindow : Window

EditMask With DateTimePicker

Is there a way to use RadMaskedDateTimeInput with RadDateTimePicker? Users want to be able dates in MM/dd/yyyy format (without typing the slashes) or use the calendar picker. I believe RadDateTimePicker uses RadWatermarkTextBox which does not have tight input control.

FileDescriptor DateTime Format

Hi! I am seeking assistance with this column in WPF, in a RadGridView:

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding TargetDateET, StringFormat={}{0:MM/dd HH:mm}}" Header="Target Date" />

It displays DateTime values in the grid in the following format: "MM/dd HH:mm"

The issue is that the FilterDescriptor is in this format: "MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss tt"

And when the filters are saved and presented to the user, they are different.

What I can do to manage this data in the same format? (Without having to generate a new variable that is a string and that returns the correct format) Help! Thanks in advance! Juan

RadDateTimePicker How to set DateTimeText when DateTime is invalid

Hi

I use the RadDateTimePicker and have a button ("Next"):

When now the user changes the date/time value to an invalid date/time an error is shown:

When the user clicks on the "Next" button the DateTimeText disapears and is empty and an error is schown:

My Question:
Is it possible to set the DateTimeText to the previous wrong formatted date/time (120000000000.07.23 08:49) like this ?

I have tried to overload the method OnParseDateTime and set the CurrentDateTimeText but it's not working.

RadDateTimePicker not showing / missing

Hi.

I've tried to use RadDateTimePicker inside RadGridView, but datepicket is not showing (examle from: WPF DateTimePicker - How to use RadDateTimePicker in a Grid - Telerik UI for WPF). Tried to add control outside grid but without any effect.

Project is referenced to Telerik.Windows.Data.dll, Telerik.Windows.Controls, Telerik.Windows.Controls.Input, Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView...

RadDateTimePicker

Hello,

I created a new template for the RadDateTimePicker because I overrided the Clock Part.

As part of the changes I added a Tooltip which shows the date time if not null. In the Watermark control part of the template I show the SelectedValue property that is bound to the ViewModel - TwoWayBinding. The string format of the DateTime is full date: dd/MM/yyyy with full time: HH:mm:ss. So I see the parsed Text on the control.

I can't find an easy way to show the tooltip in the same format as the display date. I can't set the Tooltio content to RelativeSource Path=SelectedValue because it shows the DateTime in orginal format.

I also can't show in the Tooltio the DisplatText because even if binding OneWay, the date is flickering in every change like binding is wrong.

In the Style of the RadDateTimePicker I have access to SelectedValue, SelectedDateTime,SelectedTime properties but it seems that you convert the Date Time to a text inside the control code because it doesn't work on the Tooltip.

Do you have any solution for that?
