Description

How to hide the forward and backward buttons in RadCalendar.

Solution 1

1. Subscribe to the Loaded event of RadCalendar.
2. Use the ChildrenOfType<T> extension method to get the RepeatButton controls representing the move-left and move-right buttons. The ChildrenOfType<T> method is defined in the Telerik.Windows.Controls.ChildrenOfTypeExtensions class.

C#

	private void RadCalendar_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
	{
		var calendar = (RadCalendar)sender;
		var moveLeftButton = calendar.ChildrenOfType<RepeatButton>().FirstOrDefault(x => x.Name == "MoveLeft");
		var moveRightButton = calendar.ChildrenOfType<RepeatButton>().FirstOrDefault(x => x.Name == "MoveRight");

		moveLeftButton.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
		moveRightButton.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
	}

Solution 2

After R3 2019, you can use the PreviousButtonVisibility and NextButtonVisibility properties of the RadCalendar.

XAML

	<Grid>
        	<telerik:RadCalendar NextButtonVisibility="Hidden"/>
    	</Grid>
