No pop-up windows are shown. As with the similar DatePicker control, we access the SelectedDate property. We use the SelectedDatesChanged event.
Example. First, we drag a Calendar control the WPF window. To detect when a date is selected on the Calendar, we add a "SelectedDatesChanged" attribute. Press tab and Visual Studio inserts the event handler (Calendar_SelectedDatesChanged).
In this C# method, we cast the "sender" object to a Calendar reference with an as-cast. The SelectedDate property returns a nullable DateTime. This means it is a struct, but may be null.
And: We use the HasValue property on the nullable type to determine whether the inner DateTime exists or not.
Then: We get a reference to the DateTime indicated by the Calendar at this point. We call ToShortDateString on it.
Based on: .NET 4.5 Example markup: XAML <Window x:Class="WpfApplication21.MainWindow" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525"> <Grid> <Calendar HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="10,10,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" SelectedDatesChanged="Calendar_SelectedDatesChanged"/> </Grid> </Window> Example code: C# using System; using System.Windows; using System.Windows.Controls; namespace WpfApplication21 { /// <summary> /// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml /// </summary> public partial class MainWindow : Window { public MainWindow() { InitializeComponent(); } private void Calendar_SelectedDatesChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e) { // ... Get reference. var calendar = sender as Calendar; // ... See if a date is selected. if (calendar.SelectedDate.HasValue) { // ... Display SelectedDate in Title. DateTime date = calendar.SelectedDate.Value; this.Title = date.ToShortDateString(); } } } }
Summary. The Calendar control displays a month-based calendar. It can be configured in many ways. One important, and useful, event is SelectedDatesChanged. With it, we can detect when the user selects a day within the control.
