selectedDay styles for RadCalendar

[Lisa Simmons]

i have a RadCalenar with different background colors for different days. When the day is selected, the original background color is replaced by the selectedDay style. how can i keep the original background color when the day is selected?

Hi Lisa,

The RadCalendar controls come with a set of predefined styles, which are specified by the styles in the current skin CSS classes. You can use rcSelected Css class which applies style to the selected dates.Please review the help article below for more information:

the problem I am having with the rcSelected class is that if my background on a day is blue or red, when i select it, it will change the background to blank color. but I would like to retain the original day's background color. my calendar days have at least 2-3 different colors. so changing the rcSelected  class only allows me to change background colors to one color, not do the different colors that i need. is there a way that this could be removed altogether?

Hi Lisa,

To achieve your goal I suggest that you use SelectedDayStyle-CssClass="MyClass" in the RadCalendar tag and set your own class which will be the same as the default DayStyle class. Then add the desired days to the Special Days collection of the calendar and assign them appropriate templates:
