Calendar Control

Thanks for the request. We have been working on a WinRT calendar-like control recently. The initial version of this should be available around the end of the week. I'll let you know when you can first start playing around with it.

Good start for calendar control. I submitted a bug against it.

I would like to have the ability to select months quickly, so showing a list of all months to pick from. Next, I would like to have the ability to select years, so showing a list of years to pick from.

I see that what you have is a "month" calendar, but a calendar that shows a list of months and years is not far from where you are.

Thanks.

Hello

Thanks for this new feature request. For the UI for this feature, were you thinking of the same usability as the usual Windows operating system date picker? (click on the month name to zoom out to a grid of months, then click the year name to zoom out to a grid of years etc). This would be a good UI as users should be familiar with it, or did you have something else in mind?

Jason Fauchelle

Yes, that is what I had in mind.

Additionally, I'd like to be able to style the days at a minimum, and everything at a maximum. Another item would be to show that week of the year on the leftmost side of the calendar.

Hello and thanks for the feedback

These items are on our list of features to add. For now, you can template days using the DayOfMonthTemplateSelector property. When the control can display years etc, these will be templatable too.

Hello

You may have already noticed the MonthCalendar has been replaced with the CalendarControl. This includes the built in functionality for clicking the month name to zoom out to year-view which displays the months of the year. It currently does not zoom out further but we plan to add this functionality.

You can style both the days of a month and the months in year view by setting the ViewStyleSelector property. You can also provide data to individual days or months by setting the DataProvider property. Custom styles can be used to visualize the data. Instructions of how to do these things will be in the documentation soon. If you have any questions, let us know and we'll get back to you after the Christmas break.

Also, you can display week numbers in month view by setting the WeekNumberVisibility property of the CalendarControl.
