Hi

In the ASP.Net AJAX Control Toolkit Calendar, the month/year title at the top of the control is hyperlinked and when clicked, the calendar drills out to show months for the current year, and then out to the years, and back in. Allowing purely mouse driven changes to the month/year easily.

See an example here:

http://www.asp.net/ajax/ajaxcontroltoolkit/samples/calendar/calendar.aspx

Does this sort of functionality exist in the EO calendar? Is it possible to implement?

Alternatively, have I overlooked the functionality. I know, I can use the up down arrows on the text box of the date picker, but sometimes using the mouse is quicker.

Hi,

Yes. You can do that with our DatePicker as well. It is implemented through custom header. Here is a working example:

http://demo.essentialobjects.com/Demos/Calendar/Features/Title%20and%20Footer%20Template/Demo.aspx

The idea is the header area can be customized with template. So it's more flexible (for example, you can use a drop down menu, or a drop down box, or simply "switch year" when clicked, etc). This sample uses a drop down menu. You can check the source code of the sample for more details.

Thanks!
