Disable dates

[Mattias]

Hi,
I need to disable the dates outside the current month of the current view.
For example February, then I want to disable 26-31 of January and 1-8 of Mars.
I'm trying with the dayrender method with no success.

protected void radCalendar_DayRender(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.Calendar.DayRenderEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Day.Date < _calendarFirstDateOfMonth || e.Day.Date > _calendarLastDateOfMonth)
            {
                e.Cell.Style.Add(HtmlTextWriterStyle.Cursor, "default");
                e.Cell.Style.Add(HtmlTextWriterStyle.BackgroundColor, "#ff0000");
                e.Day.IsSelectable = false;
                e.Day.IsDisabled = true;
            }
            else
            {
                if (SelectedEvents != null)
                {
                    foreach (Swh.Ih7.Entities.Event ev in SelectedEvents)
                    {
                        if (e.Day.Date >= ev.StartDate.Date && e.Day.Date <= ev.EndDate.Date)
                        {
                            e.Cell.Style.Add(HtmlTextWriterStyle.FontWeight, "700");
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }

(the red background is set so the if-statement is working)

With this code I can still click on all dates! :(
Is it because I have AutoPostBack=true?

Hello Mattias,

You can try out the following code to disable dates of other months on a calendar.
cs:

 protected void RadCalendar1_DayRender(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.Calendar.DayRenderEventArgs e)
    {
       if (e.Day.Date.Month != RadCalendar1.FocusedDate.Month)
           {
               RadCalendarDay calendarDay = new RadCalendarDay();
               calendarDay.Date = e.Day.Date;
               calendarDay.IsSelectable = false;

               RadCalendar1.SpecialDays.Add(calendarDay);

          }
    }

Thanks
Princy.

Thank you Princy, works great!

Is it possible to change the cursor? Now it's showing a hand and that misleads the user!

Hi Mattias,

Yes, in the DayRender handler provided by Princy you can set:

e.Cell.CssClass = "MyDisabled";


and then add some CSS:

.MyDisabled,
.MyDisabled a
{
    cursor: default;
}


All the best,
