OnDayRender

The OnDayRender client-side event handler is called for every calendar day cell when the calendar is rendered as a result of client-side navigation. This event mimics the server-side DayRender event, giving final control over the output of a specific calendar day cell. This event can be used to apply changes to the calendar cells when the user navigates that are identical to the server-side event handler applied to the cells in the initial view.

The event handler receives two arguments:

  1. the RadCalendar object that fired the event.

  2. an event arguments object that exposes the following methods:OnDayRender event arguments object

Name Return Type Arguments Description
get_renderDay() RenderDay client-side object Returns the client-side RenderDay object that represents the day being rendered. This value is null if the cell represents a valueoutside the range specified by RangeMinDate and RangeMaxDate .
get_date() Array object Returns the triplet for the date the cell represents.
get_cell() Cell element Returns object for the cell being rendered.

The following example uses the OnDayRender event to change the text for the non-current month and for dates that fall outside the selectable range. It also changes the background color on weekend days:

<telerik:RadCalendar RenderMode="Lightweight" ID="RadCalendar1" runat="server">
    <ClientEvents OnDayRender="dayRender" />
</telerik:RadCalendar>              
function dayRender(sender, eventArgs) {
    var cell = eventArgs.get_cell();
    var day = eventArgs.get_renderDay();
    var view;

    if (day) {
        view = day.RadCalendarView;

        if (eventArgs.get_date()[1] != view._MonthStartDate[1]) {
            cell.innerText = "(" + cell.innerText + ")";
        }

        if (day.get_isWeekend()) {
            cell.style.backgroundColor = "#efefef";
        }
    }
    else {
        cell.innerText = "";
    }
}
