Description

While editing RadTimeOnlyPicker, it will not automatically select the next time part as the user types. In the following article, we will demonstrate how to enable the auto-select next part feature in the RadTimeOnlyPicker control.

Solution

To access and apply the AutoSelectNextPart property to the RadTimeOnlyPicker, use the TimeOnlyPickerElement's MaskedEditBox.Provider. Set the property as shown below:

C#

MaskTimeOnlyProvider maskTimeOnlyProvider = this.radTimeOnlyPicker1.TimeOnlyPickerElement.MaskedEditBox.Provider as MaskTimeOnlyProvider;
maskTimeOnlyProvider.AutoSelectNextPart = true;

This snippet retrieves the provider for the RadTimeOnlyPicker and enables the AutoSelectNextPart property.
