How to reproduce: Just open the popup with the Alt and Down arrow key combination, you will notice that the value changes Workaround: public partial class Form1 : Form { public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); this.radDateTimePicker1.DateTimePickerElement.KeyDown += DateTimePickerElement_KeyDown; } private void DateTimePickerElement_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e) { if (e.KeyCode == Keys.F4 || (e.KeyData == (Keys.Alt | Keys.Down))) { e.Handled = true; } } }
