How to set ItemStyle properties for Special Day programmatically?

[hkdave95]

Hi

ItemStyle property is ReadOnly on SpecialDay!

How can I set it's property?

My Code ...

loCurrentSpecialDays[lnCount] = new Telerik.Web.UI.RadCalendarDay()
                    {
                        Date = loAppointment.APPDStart.AddDays(lnCount),
                        IsDisabled = true,
                        IsSelectable = false,
                        ToolTip = ((FLMVilla.App_Code.Enums.ScheduleTypes)loAppointment.APPNScheduleType).ToString().Replace("_", " ")
                    };

I would like to add an extra line to set the ItemStyle like "ItemStyle = new System.Web.UI.WebControls.TableItemStyle()". But compiler says Readonly!

Kind Regards

David

Hello David,

You can use CopyFrom method of Style class:

RadCalendarDay day = new RadCalendarDay
{
   Date = DateTime.Today
};
TableItemStyle style = new TableItemStyle();
style.BackColor = Color.Red;
day.ItemStyle.CopyFrom(style);

Hi

Thank you for your reply.

However, my attempts at making the Spcial Days Forecolor to be Red are not working.

How do I make a Special Day stand out on the Calendar?

Kind Regards

Hello David,

Have you tried applying CSS in order to set the ForeColor for SpecialDays as shown below?

C#:

day.ItemStyle.CssClass = "MyClass";

CSS:

<style type="text/css">
.MyClass a
{
    color: Red!important;
}
</style>

Hi

Yes I have.

Also I have tried setting the CssClass on the DisabledDay property of the Calendar. Since my SpecialDays are all disabled i thought this would have an effect.

Any more ideas?

Kind Regards

David

Hi David,

Following code should work for you:

1.<telerik:RadCalendar runat="server" ID="RadCalendar1">
2.        <SpecialDays>
3.            <telerik:RadCalendarDay Date="2009/10/14"
4.                IsSelectable="false" IsDisabled="true">
5.            </telerik:RadCalendarDay>
6.        </SpecialDays>
7.    </telerik:RadCalendar>

1.<style type="text/css">
2.        .rcMain .rcRow td.rcDisabled a
3.        {
4.            color:Red;
5.            }
6.    </style>

Hi,

I do as you suggest, that is specify the CssClass.  I have also "!important" in my CSS for every property set.
e.Day.ItemStyle.CssClass = "MyClass"; 

Also for your information I am writing this piece of code in DayRender event.  Seems like it is not being applied.
Is it the right place for setting the CSSClass or Should I tap into anyother event in the control lifecycle.  If you have a code sample please share will really appreciate.

You also suggest using the below in CSS this works but i need to change CSS dynamically and hence need this functionality.
.rcMain .rcRow td.rcDisabled a

Thanks in advance.

Hello ,

Please try the following approach:

<style type="text/css">
    .MyClass a
    {
        color: Red !important;
    }
</style>

C#:

protected void RadCalendar1_DayRender(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.Calendar.DayRenderEventArgs e)
{
    e.Cell.CssClass = "MyClass";
}

I hope this will prove helpful. Please give it a try and let me know about the result.

Kind regards,

Hi Lohith,

You can try the following C# code in the DayRender event to set the ForeColor of the RadCalendar Days dynamically.

C#:

protected void RadCalendar1_DayRender(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.Calendar.DayRenderEventArgs e)
{
    // clear the default cell content (anchor tag) as we need to disable the css effect for this cell
    e.Cell.Text = "";
    //adding a new label as the calendar day in order to apply the required styles
    Label label = new Label();
    label.Text = e.Day.Date.Day.ToString();
    label.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
    e.Cell.Controls.Add(label);
}

Thanks,
Princy.
