TrySetViewMode always returns false

[Fabio]

Hello

 I am using RadCalendar Component and I am setting the TrySetViewMode to CalendarViewMode.Year but the method is always returning false. I am using Xamarin forms and testing with an Android device.

 

    public YearCalendarView()
        {
            StackLayout mainView = new StackLayout
            {
                Padding = 0,
                Spacing = 0,
            };

            CustomizeNavigationBar(mainView);

            RadCalendar calendar = new RadCalendar
            {
                VerticalOptions = LayoutOptions.FillAndExpand,
                HorizontalOptions = LayoutOptions.FillAndExpand,
            };

            bool setView = calendar.TrySetViewMode(CalendarViewMode.Year);

            Console.WriteLine(setView);

            mainView.Children.Add(calendar);

            Content = mainView;
        }

Mhhhmm never mind, calling the method inside OnAppearing did the thing.

 

protected override void OnAppearing()
        {
            base.OnAppearing();

            bool setView = calendar.TrySetViewMode(CalendarViewMode.Year);

            Console.WriteLine(setView);
        }

Thanks for posting this. I would really like to see better documentation for this product.

Hello,

Thank you for the feedback. We have added new events that occur when the native control is ready and it is safe to call methods that update the calendar view mode. We have also updated our documentation: Calendar View Mode

Please, let us know if you have any other questions.
