CalendarControl

The CalendarControl displays a calendar that allows a user to select a date. The control's navigation header displays buttons to browse through months and years.

The control's main features include:

• Date selection in the calendar using the mouse and keyboard.
• Navigation bar allows for browsing through months and years.
• Three calendar views: month view, year view, and year range view.
• An option to limit the available date range.

Select a Date

A user can select a date using the mouse and keyboard arrow keys.

The calendar's navigation header allows a user to browse through months and years. The user can click the header text to zoom out the current view. In the month view, a click on the header text switches the calendar to the year view. In the year view, a click on the header text switches the calendar to the year range view.

Use the CalendarControl.SelectedDate property to select a date or read the currently selected date.
