MonthCalendar Selection Refresh

[bwgc]

Trying to refresh the MonthCalendar control after programmatically changing the SelectionRange with the following properties:

monthCalendar1.SelectionStart=FirstDay.Value;

monthCalendar1.SelectionEnd=LastDay.Value;

 

Have tried .Refresh() & .Update() - neither seems to update the Calendar displayed selected range?

 

Anybody?

Month Calendar update solution and SelectionRange is rubbish

 

hi,

the solution is to tell the control to refresh itself, this is not done automatically as i guess it would flicker.

try:

monthCalendarName.UpdateBoldedDates();

 

another problem with calendar is detailed here you may come across it:

 

my .net remoting application client winform needs to select and highlight

dates, to get to these dates once highlighted we can use SelectionRange

but we cannot simply do a monthCalendar.AddBoldedDate(monthCalendar.SelectionRange)

which would be great, it seems obfuscated and less than useful considering the implementation

it could have been (as above.)

Here was my solution, its commented so i wont repleat myself.

Hope this helps all confused by the SelectionRange !

c.

 

//get start of selection

DateTime startDate = monthCalendarMain.SelectionStart.Date;

//get end of selection

DateTime endDate = monthCalendarMain.SelectionEnd.Date;

//timespan calculated from end date minus start date

TimeSpan timeSpan = endDate.Subtract(startDate);

//create a dateTime array to hold our new dates for bolding

DateTime [] selectedDates = new DateTime [timeSpan.Days + 1];

//loop for how ever many dates there are in calendar selection

for (int index = 0; index < selectedDates.Length; index++)

{

//for each one set it to bold, this preserves the existing selections.

monthCalendarMain.AddBoldedDate(startDate.AddDays(Convert.ToDouble(index)));

}

//show user the changes

monthCalendarMain.UpdateBoldedDates();
