Please refer to the attached sample project and follow the steps illustrated in the attached gif file.

Workaround: initialize a new RadDateTimePicker every time you toggle the checkbox:

The selected date is 2024 Feb 29. A custom date format is applied to the control:

this.radDateTimePicker1.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Custom;
this.radDateTimePicker1.CustomFormat = "yyyy";

When trying to change the date, an ArgumentOutOfRangeException exception is thrown.

Add a RadDateTimePicker to the form and use the following code snippet:

        public RadForm1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            RadDateTimePickerCalendar calendarBehavior = this.radDateTimePicker1.DateTimePickerElement.GetCurrentBehavior() as RadDateTimePickerCalendar;
             calendarBehavior.ShowTimePicker = true; 
            calendarBehavior.PopupControl.PopupOpening += PopupControl_PopupOpening;
            this.radDateTimePicker1.Opening+=radDateTimePicker1_Opening; 
        }

       //It is fired
        private void PopupControl_PopupOpening(object sender, CancelEventArgs args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("PopupControl_PopupOpening");
        }

        //It is not fired is ShowTimePicker=true
        private void radDateTimePicker1_Opening(object sender, CancelEventArgs e)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("radDateTimePicker1_Opening");
        }

You will notice that the RadDateTimePicker.Opening event is not fired if the ShowTimePicker property is enabled.

Workaround: feel free to use the PopupControl.PopupOpening event.

After the installation of the latest update (Version 2021.1.122.40) for "Telerik UI for WinForms", our Formulardesigner throws a NullReferenceException during instanciating a Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadDateTimePicker.

What is changed and how can we solve that?

NOTE: This is my second attempt to get a response from the support team. I am paying for Priority Support, but the ticket below has gone unanswered:

https://feedback.telerik.com/winforms/1487329-popup-calendar-in-raddatetimepicker-does-not-scale-correctly-on-high-dpi-display

See attached screenshot. The popup calendar looks wrong when running on a display with 250% scaling. Surely, that's not correct. The calendar should not be so large and the fonts so small. Am I missing something? I have done all the other steps to enable High DPI support, and as you can see, the textbox area seems to scale fine.

Any ideas? And thanks for your help.

Please use the following code snippet. The user should be allowed to resize the drop down within the specified range as it is illustrated in the gif file:

            RadDateTimePickerCalendar calBehavior = this.radDateTimePicker1.DateTimePickerElement.CurrentBehavior as RadDateTimePickerCalendar;
            calBehavior.DropDownSizingMode = SizingMode.UpDownAndRightBottom;
            calBehavior.DropDownMinSize = new Size(400, 400);
            calBehavior.DropDownMaxSize = new Size(600, 600);

Currently, the user is allowed to shrink the width, but not the height.

Workaround:

        public RadForm1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            //this.radDateTimePicker1.CalendarSize = new Size(500, 500);


            
            RadDateTimePickerCalendar calBehavior = this.radDateTimePicker1.DateTimePickerElement.CurrentBehavior as RadDateTimePickerCalendar;
            calBehavior.DropDownSizingMode = SizingMode.UpDownAndRightBottom;
            calBehavior.DropDownMinSize = new Size(400, 400);
            calBehavior.DropDownMaxSize = new Size(600, 600);

           this.radDateTimePicker1.Opened+=radDateTimePicker1_Opened;
        }

        private void radDateTimePicker1_Opened(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            RadDateTimePickerCalendar calBehavior = this.radDateTimePicker1.DateTimePickerElement.CurrentBehavior as RadDateTimePickerCalendar;
            calBehavior.PopupControl.MinimumSize= calBehavior.DropDownMinSize;
        }
