How to set Navigations Buttons In MultipleView Mode

[Ian]

Hi,

Kindly help me with this...

I set the RadCalendar control to...
AllowMultipleView = true
MultiViewColumns = 6
MultiViewRows = 2

Each time I click the Prev/Next button, the view jump to prev/next 12 months. How can I set the buttons to just move 1 month per click. I should maintain the settings above. Thanks.


Kind regards,

Ian

Hi Ian,

Thank you for writing.

The navigation buttons navigate with the number of the months that are represented by the RadCalendar. Currently, there is no way to workaround this functionality. You are the first one who are looking for it. If more people ask for the same, we will consider adding this feature in our To-Do list.

If you have other questions, feel free to contact us.

Hi

Thank you for your reply. I hope you will add this feature. We changed our controls from another 3rd party controls to Telerik controls. The other 3rd party calendar control have this feature. I'm just thinking that some of our clients might request this feature. Again, thank you very much.

Kind regards, 

Ian

I am also looking for the same functionality.

I can see that this has now been implemented for the 2011 Q3 release of the controls. 

However, there is no mention in the documentation on how to achieve this functionality. 

Can a code sample be provided?

Hi Adam,

Thank you for asking.

We have resolved this by adding two new events to RadCalendar: Navigating and Navigated. Here is how you can use the Navigating event to customize the navigation steps:

void radCalendar1_Navigating(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.CalendarNavigatingEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Direction == Telerik.WinControls.UI.CalendarNavigationDirection.Forward && !e.IsFastNavigation)
    {
        e.StartDate = this.radCalendar1.CalendarElement.View.ViewStartDate.AddMonths(3);
    }
    else if (!e.IsFastNavigation)
    {
        e.StartDate = this.radCalendar1.CalendarElement.View.ViewStartDate.AddMonths(-3);
    }
}

We will consider adding this to our documentation.

Should you have any further questions, feel free to ask.
