Timelapse UX: date/time edit experience is poor in Xceed controls #123

Closed twest820 closed 7 years ago

twest820 commented 8 years ago

DateTimePicker and TimeSpanUpDown are reasonably well behaved with arrow key interaction but are quirky and difficult to use when trying to type a date or time, including sometimes simply ignoring what's being typed. Unclear if there's a way to drive a fix with Xceed or what release cadence on the Extended WPF Toolkit community edition might eventually provide fixes, so probably need to implement these within Timelapse for a proper solution. Bonding a Windows.UI.Xaml DatePicker with a TimePicker would be attractive except for the requirement of Windows 8.1+.

TimeSpanUpDown tends to go blank on the first click of the up or down button and then reset to zero on the next click. Blanking occurs occasionally with the keyboard as well.

The resolution of issue #89 provides an additional workaround in the form of being able to type in Excel or such.
