Issue on setting DisplayDate

[Adrian Pay]

Hi,

May I ask if I could pre-set a DateTime value via the DisplayDate on RadCalendar instead of the current local date?

I have tried several methods but none of them is working
(1) calendar.DisplayDate = 'my_wanted_date'
(2) in XAML, I used {Binding DisplayDate} and in ViewModel, I return DisplayDate {get {return my_wanted_date};}

Your help in this matter is much appreciated.

Thanks,
Adrian

Hello Adrian,

I tried both things you mentioned, and they both worked for me. Please refer to the attached project for a sample implementation. Should you continue experiencing this issue, please provide us with a project where we can observe it.

Hope this helps.

Hi Ivo,

Thanks a lot for your prompt response. I have tried your attached project, and  the pre-setting of DisplayDate work fine for navigating the calendar to display Year and Month.

However, Is it possible to pre-set the Today display on the calendar as well? If yes, please kindly help to elaborate on how to do it.

Thanks.
Adrian

Hello Adrian,

This feature is not supported by the RadCalendar control. However, you can edit the DayTemplate of the RadCalendar and make some dates to look like special ones.

Hope this helps.
