To reproduce: - Add date time column to a grid and set the MaskType to FreeFormDateTime (this can be done by accessing the editor in the CellEditorInitialized event). - Type a year in the editor and click the right arrow key until the cell is changed. Workaround: class MyRadDateTimeEditor : RadDateTimeEditor { bool isRightmostMaskItemSelected = false; public override void OnKeyDown(KeyEventArgs e) { if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Right) { FreeFormDateTimeProvider provider = ((RadDateTimeEditorElement) this.EditorElement).TextBoxElement.Provider as FreeFormDateTimeProvider; if (provider.TextBoxItem.SelectionStart == provider.TextBoxItem.Text.Length) { this.isRightmostMaskItemSelected = true; } } else { base.OnKeyDown(e); } } protected override void OnKeyUp(KeyEventArgs e) { if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Right) { if (isRightmostMaskItemSelected) { isRightmostMaskItemSelected = false; GridDateTimeCellElement cell = this.OwnerElement as GridDateTimeCellElement; cell.GridControl.EndEdit(); } } else { base.OnKeyUp(e); } } } void radGridView1_CellEditorInitialized(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewCellEventArgs e) { RadDateTimeEditor editor = e.ActiveEditor as RadDateTimeEditor; if (editor != null) { var editorElement = editor.EditorElement as RadDateTimeEditorElement; editorElement.TextBoxElement.MaskType = MaskType.FreeFormDateTime; } }
