Xceed DataGrid for WPF v7.2 Documentation
Date and Time Editors
Unlike the DatePicker control, which allows a user to select a date from a calendar, the DateTimeTextBox provides a date and time specific version of the MaskedTextBox that only allows date and time values to be inputted.
The mask that is used by the date-time text box is determined by the DateTimeMaskMode property, which can be set to one of the predefined masks (by default, DateTimeMaskMode.ShortDate). If set to Custom, the format specifier defined by the CustomFormatSpecifier property will be used to mask the inputted text (see Table 1).
Table 1: DateTimeMaskMode values
| Member | Description |
|---|---|
| Custom | The CustomFormatSpecifier will be used. |
| ShortDate | The short date mask mode will be used. |
| ShortDateAndShortTime | The short date and time mask mode will be used. |
| ShortDateAndLongTime | The short date and long time mask mode will be used. |
| ShortTime | The short time mask mode will be used. |
| LongTime | The long time mask mode will be used. |
A format specifier that corresponds to a combination of both a DateTimeMaskMode and FormatProvider can be retrieved by calling the static GetFullFormatSpecifier method and specifying the DateTimeMaskMode value and IFormatProvider from which the format specifier is to be created.
