RadCalendar SpecialDays Remove

[zhen]

I tried to remove my SpecialDays by using functon 'RadCalendar1.SpecialDays.Remove(mday)
but it seems doesn't working

 

Private Sub RadButton1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RadButton1.Click

        Dim mdate As New Date

        mdate = RadCalendar1.SelectedDate

        Dim mDay As New Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadCalendarDay(mdate)

        RadCalendar1.SpecialDays.Add(mDay)

 

    End Sub

 

    Private Sub RadButton2_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RadButton2.Click

       

        Dim mDay2 As New Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadCalendarDay()

        mDay2.Date= RadCalendar1.SelectedDate
           mCalendarDay.Date.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy")

        RadCalendar1.SpecialDays.Remove(mDay2)

    End Sub

I wonder if its datetime format cause the problem?...cos it seems if i select a date e.g. '07/08/2010' (I am using en-GB format) it automatically covert it to US Datetime format when you try to remove it (Like '07/08/2010' will become '08/07/2010') , the system wouldn't throw any error, but this special day still in 'Radcalendar1.specialdays 's' List. can anybody please give me example code how to remove certain specialdays by code?
btw, the version i got is "2009.1.9.414"
thanks in advance! its urgent.

For Each mSubDateStr As String In mDateStr
    For Each mSpecialDay As RadCalendarDay In cldHolidayDate.SpecialDays
        If mSubDateStr.Length > 0 Then

            If mSpecialDay.Date = mSubDateStr Then
                mSpecialDay.Selected = False
                cldHolidayDate.SpecialDays.Remove(mSpecialDay)
                Exit For
            End If

        End If
    Next

Hi zhen,

Thank you for contacting us.

The SpecialDays.Remove method removes only the dates that are currently stored in this collection. We do not have methods that search for specific date in the SpecialDays collection and I agree that this could be a bit confusing. We will consider improving our API to cover this scenario in our upcoming releases.

Please consider the following code snippet  for your scenario:


Private Sub radButton1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)

    Me.radCalendar1.SpecialDays.Add(New Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadCalendarDay(New DateTime(2010, 8, 5)))

End Sub

 

Private Sub radButton2_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)

    Dim dateToFound As New DateTime(2010, 8, 5)

 

    For i As Integer = 0 To Me.radCalendar1.SpecialDays.Count - 1

        If Me.radCalendar1.SpecialDays(i).[Date] = dateToFound Then

            Me.radCalendar1.SpecialDays.Remove(Me.radCalendar1.SpecialDays(i))

            Exit For

        End If

    Next

End Sub

I hope this helps.

All the best,

Hi, Julian
thank you for your reply, the first issue now has been solved. but i got another one which is if i select a block of 5 days(including weekend) on my calendar, how do i mark the following next two days as not been selected and change its background color by code??   any events i need to use to implement it? thank you again!

Hello zhen,

In order to implement your scenario you should subscribe for the ElementRenderer event of the RadCalendar. In this method you could apply a new cell color:
 

Me.radCalendar1.ElementRender += New RenderElementEventHandler(radCalendar1_ElementRender)

Private Sub radCalendar1_ElementRender(sender As Object, e As RenderElementEventArgs)
    If e.Day.[Date] = New DateTime(2010, 9, 6) Then
        e.Element.BackColor = Color.Red
        e.Element.DrawFill = True
    End If
End Sub
