Key Features

The RadTimePicker control derives from the RadDateTimePicker control and inherits most of its features. This is a list with short descriptions of the top-of-the-line features of the Telerik RadTimePicker control:

  • Powerful Data-binding: The Silverlight RadTimePicker control can be bound to various datasource types, such as Object, XML and WCF services.

  • Keyboard Navigation: RadTimePicker supports the standard browser navigation paradigm. Once the control has focus, you can press the Down Arrow key to show the calendar. The users can go forward/backward over the individual times by pressing the arrow keys. Pressing the ESC button will close the picker.

  • Advanced Parser: You can enter any number or string in the input field of RadTimePicker and the entered value will be transformed to a valid time.

  • Styling and Appearance: RadTimePicker can be fully customized. There are also several pre-defined themes that can be used to style the control. Read more

  • Enhanced Routed Events Framework: To help your code become even more elegant and concise, we implemented an Enhanced Routed Events Framework for the controls from the UI for Silverlight suite. This gives you more freedom when you design your applications since you can write instance handlers as well as class handlers for the routed events of our controls. Read more

  • Watermark: The TimePicker control allows the user to define and use watermarks in the time field. Read more
