DateSelect event?

[Mihail]

Hello,

I am using Telerik for Xamarin Calendar to build iOS application. Everything is fine until I try to catch some event of date selecting. I saw that there are 3 event handlers: ViewChanged, DisplayDateChanged and SelectionChanged. 
What I need is every time when I click on a date (no matter if the date is the current date or the last selected date or whatever) to raise some dateclick event. The closest thing to this is SelectionChanged but it does not work on the same selection (as the name says). Is there such an event and if not, do you plan to implement it, because it is really annoying to add some flags in order to make basic functionality work...

Regards,
Mihail

Is there a way we can interact or do a work around of this event?

Fabio,

I personally managed to make a kind of dirty hack for iOS. If you choose to implement this workaround, you will lose the current date selected circle. The basic idea is on every selection (in the SelectionChanged event), I move the current date to some date far away from the past, in my case: 01.01.2000 - this date should be some date that you are sure the users will not click on. This causes the SelectionChanged event to be invoked again, but I stop it with a check from a boolean flag. Here is a sample implementation:

if (!dateChangedFlag)
            {
                var calendar = (RadCalendar)sender;
                dateChangedFlag = true;
                NavigateToPlanningItemDispatcherPage((DateTime)e.NewValue);
                calendar.SelectedDate = new DateTime(2000, 1, 1);
            }
            else
            {
                dateChangedFlag = false;
            }

It is not perfect, but it does the job.

Hope this helps,
Mihail
