# Input Modes

This **RadDateTimePicker** fully replaces the functionality of the **RadTimePicker** and **RadDatePicker** controls. When you use a **RadDateTimePicker** control you might want to specify that you need to use the calendar or the clock independently.

This behavior can be controlled via the **InputMode** property. The default value gives you both the calendar and the clock views. There are three input modes that correspond to these scenarios:

* **DatePicker**: With this input mode your **RadDateTimePicker** control will show only the calendar view.

* **TimePicker**: This input mode lets your **RadDateTimePicker** control show only the clock view.

* **DateTimePicker**: This input mode is the default one and will visualize both the calendar and the clock views.

> You can access the RadDateTimePicker control through an alias pointing to the Telerik.UI.Xaml.Controls.Input namespace: xmlns:input="using:Telerik.UI.Xaml.Controls.Input"

You can change the value of this property in XAML as shown in this snippet:

#### **Example 1**

```XAML
	<input:RadDateTimePicker InputMode="DatePicker"/>
```

Here is the result:

Similarly if you decide to have only the time picker you can choose the TimePicker input mode:

#### **Example 2**

```XAML
	<input:RadDateTimePicker InputMode="TimePicker"/>
```

This leads to the following result:
