Remarks

Use the NextPrevFormat property to specify the format for the next and previous month navigation elements on the Calendar control. This property is set with one of the NextPrevFormat enumeration values. You can specify whether the text for the navigation controls is displayed as the full month name, the short (abbreviated) month name, or custom text.

To specify custom navigation text, set this property to NextPrevFormat.CustomText and set the NextMonthText and PrevMonthText properties to the custom text.

This property applies only if the ShowNextPrevMonth property is set to true.
