Public method ApplyTemplate Loads the relevant control template so that its parts can be referenced. (Inherited from Control.)

Remarks

A Calendar control can be used on its own, or as a drop-down part of a DatePicker control. For more information, see DatePicker.

A Calendar displays either the days of a month, the months of a year, or the years of a decade, depending on the value of the DisplayMode property. When displaying the days of a month, the user can select a date, a range of dates, or multiple ranges of dates. The kinds of selections that are allowed are controlled by the SelectionMode property.

The range of dates displayed is governed by the DisplayDateStart and DisplayDateEnd properties. If DisplayMode is Year or Decade, only months or years that contain displayable dates will be displayed. Setting the displayable range to a range that does not include the current DisplayDate will throw an ArgumentOutOfRangeException.

The BlackoutDates property can be used to specify dates that cannot be selected. These dates will be displayed as dimmed and disabled.

By default, Today is highlighted. This can be disabled by setting IsTodayHighlighted to false.

The Calendar control provides basic navigation using either the mouse or keyboard. The following table summarizes keyboard navigation.

Key Combination

DisplayMode

Action

ARROW

Any

Change focused date, unselect all selected dates, and select new focused date.

SHIFT+ARROW

Any

If SelectionMode is not set to SingleDate or None begin selecting a range of dates.

CTRL+UP ARROW

Any

Switch to the next larger DisplayMode. If DisplayMode is already Decade, no action.

CTRL+DOWN ARROW

Any

Switch to the next smaller DisplayMode. If DisplayMode is already Month, no action.

SPACEBAR

Month

Select focused date.

SPACEBAR

Year or Decade

Switch DisplayMode to the Month or Year represented by focused item.
NoteNote:

The Calendar control is available as part of the libraries in the Silverlight Software Development Kit (SDK). For more information, see the Silverlight Tools.

Customizing the Calendar Control

To apply the same property settings to multiple Calendar controls, use the Style property. To change the visual structure and visual behavior of a Calendar, copy and modify its default style and template. For more information, see Control Customization.

Dependency properties for this control might be set by the default style of the control. If a dependency property for a Calendar is set by its default style, the property might change from its default value when the Calendar appears in the application. For more information, see Dependency Property Value Precedence. You can get the default style and template for Calendar from Calendar Styles and Templates.

NoteNote:

Setting a visual property will only have an effect if that property is both present in Calendar control's default template and is set by using a TemplateBinding. You can find a list of visual properties in the "Changing the Visual Structure of a Control" section of Customizing the Appearance of an Existing Control by Using a ControlTemplate.

Examples

The following code and XAML creates a page with two Calendar controls and two DatePicker controls. The Calendar and DatePicker controls are configured in a variety of ways.
