I would like to alter the behavior of the calendar popup so that when the Equal button is clicked, it performs all the default actions of the equal button, but closes the popup calculator and the result is selected in the control.
Thanks,
Mark

I assume that you are using the RadCalculatorDropDown control. You can achieve the desired behavior by handling the click event of the Equals button and then closing the popup. Please check my code snippet:
public partial class RadForm1 : Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadForm{ public RadForm1() { InitializeComponent(); this.radCalculatorDropDown1.CalculatorElement.CalculatorContentElement.ButtonEquals.Click += ButtonEquals_Click; } private void ButtonEquals_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { this.radCalculatorDropDown1.CalculatorElement.ClosePopup(); }}I hope this will help. Let me know if you have other questions.

Thanks for the quick reply. And, you are correct in that I meant Calculator, not calendar.
This got me to the behavior I needed.
I also noticed that the number pad keys on the keyboard can manipulate the calculator while it is popped up. How would I trap for the Enter key so it also fires the ButtonEquals_Click event?
You can handle the KeyDown event of the content element and raise a boolean flag. Then in the ValueChanged event, you can close the popup:
public partial class RadForm1 : Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadForm{ public RadForm1() { InitializeComponent(); this.radCalculatorDropDown1.ValueChanged += RadCalculatorDropDown1_ValueChanged; this.radCalculatorDropDown1.CalculatorElement.CalculatorContentElement.KeyDown += CalculatorContentElement_KeyDown; this.radCalculatorDropDown1.CalculatorElement.CalculatorContentElement.ButtonEquals.Click += ButtonEquals_Click; } private void RadCalculatorDropDown1_ValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (this.isEnter) { this.isEnter = false; this.radCalculatorDropDown1.CalculatorElement.ClosePopup(); } } bool isEnter; private void CalculatorContentElement_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e) { this.isEnter = false; if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter) { this.isEnter = true; } } private void ButtonEquals_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { this.radCalculatorDropDown1.CalculatorElement.ClosePopup(); }}I hope this will help. Let me know if you have other questions.

This seems to work, however the ValueChanged Event is firing an extra time recursively when ClosePopup() is fired from within it.
If I PopUp the calculator control and type from the keyboard, say 6 x 8, and press enter, I can see that it fires the keydown event and sets my flag, then fires the ValueChanged event (.Value now 48). However, the ClosePopup() then fires the ValueChanged event again recursively and my new value is now 6 x 48 = 288. Happens the same with other operators: 6 + 8 then enter sets value to 14, but ValueChange is fired again upon closepopup, then does 6 + 14 = 20 for value of control after popup finally closes up.
This does not happen if I just press the "=" button with the mouse on the popup. It sets the correct value and closes the popup.
Not sure you can recreate this on your end.
Private Sub InitLCQuantityCalcControl()
With Me.rcalcLCQuantity.CalculatorElement.CalculatorContentElement
.ButtonMplus.Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Collapsed
.ButtonMminus.Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Collapsed
.ButtonMS.Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Collapsed
.ButtonMR.Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Collapsed
.ButtonMC.Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Collapsed
.ButtonSqrt.Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Collapsed
.ButtonPercent.Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Collapsed
.ButtonReciprocal.Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Collapsed
.ButtonSign.Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Collapsed
AddHandler .ButtonEquals.Click, AddressOf ButtonEquals_Click
AddHandler .KeyDown, AddressOf ButtonEquals_KeyDown
End With
End Sub
Private Sub ButtonEquals_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Dim EqualButton As RadCalculatorEqualsButtonElement = TryCast(sender, RadCalculatorEqualsButtonElement)
Dim CalcCtl As RadCalculatorContentElement = DirectCast(EqualButton.Parent.Parent, RadCalculatorContentElement)
CalcCtl.CalculatorElement.Value = CInt(CalcCtl.CalculatorElement.Value)
CalcCtl.CalculatorElement.ClosePopup()
End Sub
Private Sub ButtonEquals_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As KeyEventArgs)
mbIsEnterKey = False
If e.KeyCode = Keys.Enter Then
mbIsEnterKey = True
End If
End Sub
Private Sub rcalc_ValueChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles rcalcLCQuantity.ValueChanged
mbTrackChanges = True
If mbIsEnterKey Then
mbIsEnterKey = False
Dim ctl As RadCalculatorDropDownElement = TryCast(sender, RadCalculatorDropDownElement)
ctl.CalculatorContentElement.CalculatorElement.ClosePopup()
End If
End Sub
Indeed the approach I suggested with the flag will handle the scenario when you are not directly entering the input in the editor but instead in the popup. The desired behavior can be accomplished with a custom control and elements handling the keyboard. Please check below:
public partial class RadForm1 : Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadForm{ public RadForm1() { InitializeComponent(); this.radCalculatorDropDown1.CalculatorElement.CalculatorContentElement.ButtonEquals.Click += ButtonEquals_Click; } private void ButtonEquals_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { this.radCalculatorDropDown1.CalculatorElement.ClosePopup(); }}public class CustomRadCalculatorDropDown : RadCalculatorDropDown{ public override string ThemeClassName { get { return typeof(RadCalculatorDropDown).FullName; } } protected override RadCalculatorDropDownElement CreateCalculatorDropDownElement() { return new CustomRadCalculatorDropDownElement(); }}public class CustomRadCalculatorDropDownElement : RadCalculatorDropDownElement{ protected override Type ThemeEffectiveType { get { return typeof(RadCalculatorDropDownElement); } } private CustomRadCalculatorContentElement element; protected override void CreateChildElements() { base.CreateChildElements(); element = new CustomRadCalculatorContentElement(this); typeof(RadCalculatorDropDownElement).GetField("calculatorContentElement", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic).SetValue(this, element); } protected override RadPopupControlBase CreatePopupForm() { CustomRadCalculatorEditorPopupControlBase popup = new CustomRadCalculatorEditorPopupControlBase(this); typeof(RadCalculatorDropDownElement).GetField("popup", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic).SetValue(this, popup); popup.VerticalAlignmentCorrectionMode = AlignmentCorrectionMode.SnapToOuterEdges; popup.HorizontalAlignmentCorrectionMode = AlignmentCorrectionMode.Smooth; popup.SizingMode = SizingMode.UpDownAndRightBottom; popup.SizingGrip.ShouldAspectRootElement = false; popup.SizingGrip.ShouldAspectMinSize = true; popup.RightToLeft = this.RightToLeft ? System.Windows.Forms.RightToLeft.Yes : System.Windows.Forms.RightToLeft.Inherit; popup.MinimumSize = new Size(this.MinPopupWidth, this.MinPopupHeight); this.WirePopupFormEvents(popup); popup.SizingGripDockLayout.Children.Add(element); return popup; }}public class CustomRadCalculatorContentElement : RadCalculatorContentElement{ private RadCalculatorDropDownElement element; protected override Type ThemeEffectiveType { get { return typeof(RadCalculatorContentElement); } } public CustomRadCalculatorContentElement(RadCalculatorDropDownElement element) : base(element) { this.element = element; } protected override void OnKeyDown(KeyEventArgs e) { if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter) { this.element.ClosePopup(); return; } base.OnKeyDown(e); }}public class CustomRadCalculatorEditorPopupControlBase : RadCalculatorEditorPopupControlBase{ public CustomRadCalculatorEditorPopupControlBase(RadItem owner) : base(owner) { } public override bool OnKeyDown(Keys keyData) { if (keyData == Keys.Enter) { this.ClosePopup(RadPopupCloseReason.Keyboard); return true; } return base.OnKeyDown(keyData); }}Additional information on how controls and elements can be extended is available here: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/telerik-presentation-framework/inherit-themes-from-radcontrols-derivatives.
