Winui : How to make a CalendarDatePicker editable through keyboard

Question

Hi,

I came across the UIElement CalendarDatePicker which helps us to pick a date from the calendar drop-down. Like this

But this will only allow us to pick/select a date from the calendar view, it won't let us enter the date manually from the keyboard. I wanted an experience where we can select/pick a date from the calendar but also enter the date manually from the keyboard. Like "DATETIMEPICK_CLASSA" from Win32 API.

It would be great if you could help me get the experience.

Thank You

There is also an old proposal on GitHub : Proposal: Ability to type a date into CalendarDatePicker #735
