Hi,

Can anyone tell me how to make a DatTimePicker control in WPF as read-only. That is the user should not be able to enter any value through the key, he can only select through the mouse.

Thanks & Regards,
Ramana

That isn't read only. you mean only enter info by mouse.

Not sure the actual code but you need to handle the keyboard events and make sure that the keyboard events don't do anything

DatePicker will not accept the text entered through the keyboard,will allow the user to ender some text, which should not be the case.
