Setting the Calendar date

[Dave]

I want to set the selected date of the Calendar, like with the DateTimePicker.

The SelectedDate property, which allegedly has a getter and setter, does not seem to work.

radDateTimePicker1.Value = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-3);  // This works great. The picker displays the date from three days ago.

radCalendar1.SelectedDate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-3); // This shows today's date.

What am I missing?

TIA!

Hello, Dave,

You should set the FocusedDate property:

radCalendar1.FocusedDate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-3);

Also, by default, RadCalendar indicates the current day with a border in the Fluent theme. If you want to eliminate this current date's indication, it is suitable to use the ElementRender event:

private void RadCalendar1_ElementRender(object sender, RenderElementEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Day.Date == DateTime.Today)
        e.Element.DrawBorder = false;
    else
        e.Element.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.DrawBorderProperty, ValueResetFlags.Local);
}

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have other questions.
