how to change DatePicker Monthview's Header

[Hanif]

Hi, there

I want to change Datepicker's MonthView Header,

 I am trying to change background of contentcontrol but it doesn't make any changes to my control. I could find proper property to change. If someone could help me ? Thanks in advance.

 <RadInput:RadDatePicker.MonthViewStyle>

                    <Style TargetType="RadControl:CalendarView">

                        <Setter Property="Template">

                            <Setter.Value>

                                <ControlTemplate TargetType="RadControl:CalendarView" >

                                        <Grid Background="White">

                                        <Grid.RowDefinitions>

                                            <RowDefinition Height="Auto" />

                                            <RowDefinition Height="*" />

                                        </Grid.RowDefinitions>

                                        <ContentControl  Visibility="{TemplateBinding HeaderVisibility}" 

                                            Content="{TemplateBinding Header}" 

                                            Foreground="Black"  

                                            TextBlock.TextAlignment="Center"

                                            Margin="0 2 0 2" />

                                        <!--Alternate rows and highlight -->

                                        <Grid Grid.Row="1">

                                            <Grid.RowDefinitions>

                                                <RowDefinition Height="*" />

                                                <RowDefinition Height="6*" />

                                            </Grid.RowDefinitions>

                                            <Border  

                                                BorderBrush="Black" 

                                                BorderThickness="0 0 0 1" 

                                                Background="Blue" />

                                        </Grid>

                                        <ItemsPresenter Grid.Row="1"  />

                                        </Grid>

                                </ControlTemplate>

                            </Setter.Value>

                        </Setter>

                    </Style>

                </RadInput:RadDatePicker.MonthViewStyle>

Hi Hanif,

The problem here is that the ViewsHeaderVisibility property is set to Collapsed by default. So to see the changes you need to set this property to visible. Let us know of you need some more input about this.

Hello Hanif,

Attached, you can find a project demonstrating the way you can use to achieve the task. The best approach when editing some control parts or colors is to use an Expression Blend. The attached project also includes a screenshot on the Expression Blend project that shows you the exact row of this header element.

Hello Bhanif,

First of all I want to apologize for the late response.

I edited the example Kaloyan sent you to show the current date and time. I added a new ViewModel class that has a single property called Now and bound a TextBlock element in the ControlTemplate of the RadCalendar control to this property. Please find the attached project.
