well, if anyone else needs this, what i did was created some javascript that hides the calendar and sets the focus to another control. like this:


javascript Code:
  1. function pageLoad(sendor,e)
  2.         {
  3.         var calendarBehavior=$find("calendar2");
  4.         calendarBehavior.set_selectedDate('<%=DateTime.Now.ToString() %>');
  5.         calendarBehavior.hide()
  6.         var getDDL =document.getElementById('reportView1_ddlMatType')
  7.         getDDL.focus()
  8.         return false
  9.         }
