Hi,
if I use the XamDateTimeEditor in dropdown calendar mode and select a date using the calendar, only the date will be set and the time is left empty. Leaving the editor will present the message "The value in the editor is not valid".
How can the time be set to 00:00:00 by default or in code behind after using the calendar?AutoFillDate would be fine for time also...
And how could the above error message could be supressed and handle by my own?
If I use_EditModeValidationError-Event and set e.Handled=true, the messagebox still occurs.
best regards,

Hello,
Thank you for your post. I have been looking into it and I created a sample project for and everything seems to work as you want, by default, on my side. If the sample doesn’t satisfies all your needs feel free to modify it, so it reproduces your behavior and send it back to me for further investigation.
Looking forward for your reply.
Hi Stefan,
thank you for the example.
Sorry, I forgot to say that I'm using a mask...To show my problem, I added a mask to the editor.
Please have a look..

I have been looking into your sample and I modified it, so now it works as you want. Basically I copied the default EditTempalte of the XamDateTimeEditor and handled the XamMonthCalendar’s SelectedDateChanged event in which I am able to get date and time and in the EditModeEnding event handler I set it to the editor. Please let me know if this helps you or you need further assistance on this matter.
in your example, there's a strange behaviour:
1. Click in the editor and type 1.1.1111 and press return-> the editor shows: 01.01.1111 12:00:00
2. Click again to the editor -> the editor shows: 01.01.1111 00:00
3. Press return or edit the value and press return and the value gets cleared. In xamDateTimeEditor1_EditModeEnding the value is NULL.

I am just checking if you got this worked out or you still require any assistance or clarification on the matter.
Hello Seth,
I have tested the sample under Windows XP and I was able to reproduce the behavior you described. This happens because the default Win XP and Win 7 culture settings are different and there is a check I made in Editor’s EditModeEnding event handler, which should be different for XP. I have modified the sample, so now it works both on XP and 7.
Hope this helps you.
Attached is a video of the behavior I am seeing with your project (unchanged). 1) I start the program; 2) place focus on the datetime control; 3) click the Calendar button; select a date (the date is returned with no time displayed); 4) tab out and the field clears; 5) tab again places me in the textbox that you added; 6) tab back into the field and the date and time is displayed (which is the behavior I am looking for in step 3 and 4). Not sure why the field is clearing in step 4.
Let me know if you see the same behavior given the steps above.

I have added a TextBox to the sample I attached before and everything seems to work ok on my side. I uploaded again, so if it doesn’t satisfies all your needs feel free to modify it, so it reproduces your behavior and send it back to me for further investigation.
I have a related issue. When the user invokes the calendar, I'd like the value to include a time, or at a minimum, default the time such that the user can tab off the field and not receive a validation error. That seemed to be one of the requirements of the original post.
However, in your example, if I add a textbox below the XamDateTimeEditor (so I can tab out of the XamDateTimeEditor), the field clears when the user 1) selects a date from the calendar; then 2) tabs off the field.
Here is my current xaml:
<igEditors:XamDateTimeEditor Grid.Row="5" Grid.Column="5" Margin="2" MinWidth="200" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" NullText="" Value="{Binding DateTimeCompleted}" DropDownButtonDisplayMode="Always" Mask="{}{date} {time}" />
Thank you for your feedback. I am glad that you resolved your issue and I believe that other community members may benefit from this as well.
Thanks again.
