Opening Date/Time Picker programatically in Material UI LIbary

_x000D_ _x000D_ I'm doing a project which uses React and Material Design. I'd like to go with Material UI, as I need fancy Dat- and Time Pickers, which this Library supplies as components. As I have to set Start- and End-Times and -Dates in a particular step in the app, I'd like to "hop" from one Picker to the next to decrease the Clicks the User has to make, i.e. Click on "Start Date" Input field Picker opens, Date gets selected The closing of the first Picker should open the next Picker (Start Time) Closing it opens the next Picker (End Date) Closing it opens the next Picker (End Time) I know how to fire functions on those Events, but I don't know how to open the Pickers programmatically. Tried a "dirty trick" with jQuery(...).click() or .focus() on the respective element, but it did not work... Any ideas? Many thanks in advance!!
