Styling the DatePicker

CSS classes

To customize a DatePicker, you can define your own styles for these Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) classes (defined by the Windows Library for JavaScript style sheets):

CSS class	Description
win-datepicker	Styles the entire DatePicker control.
win-datepicker-date	Styles the date control.
win-datepicker-month	Styles the month control.
win-datepicker-year	Styles the year control.

You can also customize the DatePicker by determining the order of the day/month/year elements. Use the win-order CSS class to specify the order. For example, to specify that the year control should appear first, you would specify win-order0.

Examples

The following code shows how to instantiate a DatePicker declaratively and then get a reference to it in the code by using the special winControl property. You can use this property only on elements that host a WinJS control. For more info, see Quickstart: adding WinJS controls and styles.

<div id="date" data-win-control="WinJS.UI.DatePicker"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
    WinJS.UI.processAll();
    var control = document.getElementByID("date").winControl;
</script>

The following code shows how to instantiate a DatePicker programmatically.

<div id="date"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
    var dateDiv = document.getElementById("date");
    var datePicker = new WinJS.UI.DatePicker(dateDiv);
</script>

Requirements

Minimum WinJS version	WinJS 1.0
