Hi Toko Fidele,  


Greetings from Syncfusion support.  


Your requirement to restrict the user from typing Date input can be achieved by setting the allowEdit API of Datepicker to false.  


<div className='control-section'> 
                    <div className='datepicker-control-section'> 
                        <DatePickerComponent value={this.dateValue} allowEdit={false}></DatePickerComponent> 
                    </div> 
                </div> 


Please check the below help pages to explore more about the configuration options available in Datepicker.  






Regards,

Hi Toko Fidele,   
 
 
Thanks for the update.  
 
 
You can achieve this requirement to show popup upon focusing input element by using the show method of Datepicker in its focus event as given below. 
 
 
 
<DatePickerComponent value={this.dateValue} allowEdit={false}   
focus={this.onFocusIn.bind(this)} ref={date => this.dateObj = date}></DatePickerComponent> 
 
 
onFocusIn(){ 
      this.dateObj.show() 
    } 
 
 
 
 
Please find the sample for your reference.

Hello Deepa Loganathan, I hope you have a great day.

Thank you very much, we almost touch the solution to my problem, however when I open the popup of date

selector focus on the field, to re-open it to the next focus on the field, I have to do two clicks (first to close the popup and the second I do not know why) outside the popup before the next focus m 'opens the popup.

I would like that the blur, the popup is closed and the focus it opens.

Thanks in advance and regards,

Hi Toko, 
 
Sorry for the inconvenience. 
 
We need to ensure the fix for the reported issue with all calendar components. So, we were unable to move the fix on today’s patch release. We have planned to include the fix on our upcoming Vol 1, 2019 service pack release, which is tentatively scheduled for rollout in the mid of May 2019. Please be patience until then. 
 
Regards, 
Ashokkumar B.
