Change the font of the calendar within RadDatePicker

[Dan]

I've got a RadDatePicker, and I'd like to be able to set the font of the days within the calendar, but can't find an obvious way of doing so.

Here's some code I tried:

        <telerik:RadDatePicker Grid.Row="4" Grid.Column="1" Name="DatePlanned"
                               SelectedDate="{Binding SelectedDatePlanned, Mode=TwoWay}" >
            <telerik:RadDatePicker.MonthViewStyle>
                <Style>
                    <Setter Property="Control.FontSize" Value="16" />
                </Style>
            </telerik:RadDatePicker.MonthViewStyle>
        </telerik:RadDatePicker>

How can I accomplish this?

Hello Dan,

You can set the font of the days within the calendar using this code snippet:

 <telerik:RadDatePicker Width="200" Height="20">
            <telerik:RadDatePicker.DayTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <TextBlock Text="{Binding Text}" FontSize="16" />
                </DataTemplate>
            </telerik:RadDatePicker.DayTemplate>
        </telerik:RadDatePicker>

How can i apply this property at runtime at the server side based on a database setting?

Hi Luke Raynor,

There are tow options. A better approach is to use the DayTemplateSelector property of the control, that will get you the write DayTemplate depending on your custom logic.  The second alternative is to defined the template in code behind as a string and load it using the XamlRead.Parse method.
