I have OtherMonthDayVisible="True" but how do I make it so those days are selectable? Currently the user still has to move to the previous or next month to select them. Not very user friendly.

Hi Mike,

Unfortunately there isn't a way to enable them. It makes perfect sense to have an additional property to enable them though. We will think about how to implement them and hopefully can provide you an update very soon.

Thanks

That would be most appreciated. Currently evaluating 4 different calendar controls weighing the pros and cons of each. This one is currently ranking quite high.

One another note.

I am using the Vista Calendar style and am curious how easy it is to add the double << nav so that it can move forward and back 1 year as well?

Hi Mike,

We have posted a new build that added property EnableOtherMonthDays. Please see your private messages for download location.

It's quite easy to add the double <<. The key is to use a custom TitleTemplate. Custom TitleTemplate allows you to use any HTML to create the desired UI, then use our client side JavaScript interface to drive the calendar in response of the UI. For instance, you can place a standard HTML link in the title area:

Code: HTML/ASPX
<a href="javascript: void Calendar1.goTo(-12);">Go back 12 months</a>


When the link is clicked, the calendar would go back 12 months. You can take a look of "Style2" template for a full working example of that.

Thanks
MikeL

THis is working great.

One last thing.

Is there a way to apply a style to other day selected simular to SelectedDayStyle but have something for OtherSelectedDayStyle?

Hi,

Unfortunately no. We thought about that but then decided aganist it because that would open the possibilty of a whole range of other styles, such as hover, disabled, etc., which would make the control too bloated.

Thanks

Hi,

Unfortunately there is none. The pure purpose of making other month days selectable are making it selectable so that you can decide what to do with it. It stops there due to reasons stated above. Sorry about that!

Thanks

Hi,

I don't understand why the SelectedDateStyle cannot be used for any dates that belong to the next(other) month. With the latest version of the Calendar, I switch EnableOtherMonthDays to true, then I can select dates in the other month which is good. However, the problem is that there is no selected style so the user has no way to know he selected them.

My application needs to select multiple dates so it's why I need a way to identify dates that have been selected (even if the dates are part of the other month). I don't see the point of having extra styles for dates in the other month, in my opinion the same style has the current month could be used. The DayStyle, DayHoverStyle, DisabledDayStyle already work that way, why not SelectedDayStyle?

Thanks
