Avoid pressing . (period) key to move to next field in DateTime picker control

Question

Hi all

In datetime picker control the user has to press .(period) to move to different fields (like day, month year)

I want to override this behaviour by allowing the user to enter date without entering .(period)

Is there any to achieve this programmatically in C# winforms?

Thanks in advance.

Not very beautiful code but you could of course send the . automatically.
Just handle the ValueChanged event (which will only be called when the user has entered a "whole" value for date part he's currently editing) and in the event handler you add the code SendKeys.Send(".");.
