Hide Weekend (Sat and Sun) in Winforms RadCalendar

[Tony]

Can someone explain how I can hide Saturday and Sunday columns in the RadCalendar for WinForms?

I have seen a code sample for AJAX, but I can see how to implement the same function in WinForms.

If hiding the columns isn't possible, how about  disabling them??

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello Tony,

Currently, there is no propery in RadCalendar by which you can automatically hide the columns for the days of the weekend. However, I prepared a sample solution to demonstrate a workaround. You should traverse the CalendarTableElement which contains the CalendarCellElements of interest. Then, for those cellelements which represents days of the weekend, set the Visibility property to Hidden.

If you have additional questions, feel free to contact me.

All the best,

Tony, sorry for snaking your thread....  

Nikolay, 
    this is great solution for a single calendar, but I cannot figure how to disable weekends for a multimonth view.

Could you possibly expand on the provided workaround to do this?


TIA,
Mike

After some messing with the Element Hierarchy editor i managed to come up with a valid way to handle this for multimonth views.

Below is the code i used. Hope this helps someone else in the future.

private void DisableWeekends()
{
    RadCalendarElement calElement = rcalTripDates.RootElement.Children(0) as RadCalendarElement;
    MultiMonthViewElement calMultiMonthviewElement = calElement.Children(0).Children(2) as MultiMonthViewElement;
    CalendarMultiMonthViewTableElement calMultiMonthViewTableElement = calMultiMonthviewElement.Children(0).Children(1) as CalendarMultiMonthViewTableElement;
    foreach (MonthViewElement mvwElement in calMultiMonthViewTableElement.Children) {
        CalendarTableElement calTable = mvwElement.Children(0).Children(1) as CalendarTableElement;
        if (!calTable == null)
        {
            foreach (CalendarCellElement cell in calTable.Children) {
                if ((cell.Date.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Saturday) || (cell.Date.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Sunday) || (cell.Text == "S"))
                {
                    cell.Enabled = false;
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Hello Mike,

I think there is a better way to hide weekend days. CalendarCellElement has a property named WeekEnd. This will allow you to exclude the huge If statement.

Boyko,

thanks for the info... the huge IF statement is actually from the submitted project that Nikolay posted. I only added the extra nesting for the mutlimonthviews.

I will try the Weekend property and see how that works out.

Sounds great, Mike. Let me know if I can help you with something else regarding this control.
