Hi samin,

I suggest you set CurrentDate property of the RadScheduleView control - in MonthView mode the corresponding Month will be displayed. Also VisibleDays property of the MonthViewDefinition can be used to show more than one month:

<telerik:RadScheduleView.ViewDefinitions>
    <telerik:MonthViewDefinition VisibleDays="50" />
</telerik:RadScheduleView.ViewDefinitions>

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Hi,

In the MonthView I want to set current week as the first week in the view, then I want to display six weeks.
This is because we use the calendar as a scheduling tool, and we are not interested in passed days.

But setting the CurrentDate always display the whole month, is there anyway to explicitly set the first date?

Håkan

Hello Håkan,

You need to create a new ViewDefinition, that derives from MonthViewDefinition and override its GetVisibleRangeStart method. For example the following view definition will display MonthView that starts from the first day of the week that contains the current date:

public class CustomMonthViewDefinition : MonthViewDefinition
{
    protected override DateTime GetVisibleRangeStart(DateTime currentDate, CultureInfo culture, DayOfWeek? firstDayOfWeek) 
    {
        return CalendarHelper.GetFirstDayOfWeek(currentDate, firstDayOfWeek.Value);
    }
}

Then you could use it like this:
<telerik:RadScheduleView>
    <telerik:RadScheduleView.ViewDefinitions>
        <local:CustomMonthViewDefinition VisibleDays="42" />
    </telerik:RadScheduleView.ViewDefinitions>
</telerik:RadScheduleView>

where 42 comes from the range you requested - 6 weeks * 7 days = 42 days.
