IsDropDownOpen Property (UXDateTimePicker)



Gets or sets whether the dropdown menu is currently displaying on the screen.
Syntax
<CategoryAttribute("Menu")>
Public Property IsDropDownOpen As Boolean
Dim instance As UXDateTimePicker
Dim value As Boolean
 
instance.IsDropDownOpen = value
 
value = instance.IsDropDownOpen
[CategoryAttribute("Menu")]
public bool IsDropDownOpen {get; set;}
[CategoryAttribute("Menu")]
public:
property bool IsDropDownOpen {
   bool get();
   void set (    bool value);
}
Remarks

You can activate the popup using Enter key, or by clicking the dropdown button of the control. Using the date time picker is easy and straightforward, simply click on a date in the Calendar to select the desired date, and then dragging the hands in the Clock to change the time parts of the DateTime value. There are a number of ways to interact with the Clock control, such as using keyboard arrow keys, mouse wheel, or combination of keyboard and mouse gestures. For more information on the Clock user experiences, see UXClock Overview.

You can also set the IsDropDownOpen property to True in order to show the popup automatically. To close the popup, you can just click on the dropdown button, or press either the Escape or Enter key.

By default, the dropdown menu will be closed when you select a date in the calendar. When Both mode is used, you can make the user experience more intuitive by enabling the StaysOpen property. When this property is enabled, the dropdown menu will not be closed when a date is selected in calendar. This allows you to select both the date and time without reopening the dropdown menu. The dropdown menu can be closed when you click elsewhere in the page, or by pressing the Enter or Esc key.
