Sync between XamMonthCalendar and XamScheduler
posted
Is there a clean way to sync between XamMonthCalendar and XamDayView /MonthView/Schedule view. This is like what microsoft outlook does, when you select a set of dates, it updates the scheduler and depending on the date range that you select , it switches between day/week and month views.

Right now, I have attached properties added to the month calendar control and based on the dates that are selected, i am switching the different schedule views and clearing the visible days and updating it with the selected date range.

Please Suggest.

Thanks in advance,

Hariharan

    This is actually something we just added in 11.1. We added 2 new schedule controls - xamDateNavigator and xamOutlookCalendarView.

    xamDateNavigator is a month calendar similar to the xamMonthCalendar that integrates with the schedule datamanager and has the ability to display bold for dates with activity of the CurrentUser of the xamScheduleDataManager and also can show the activity for a given date in the tooltip for that day.  

    xamOutlookCalendarView is a composite control that contains day/month/schedule view and switches between the views based on interaction with the control similar to that of Outlook - e.g. clicking on a week header in the month view shifts to week view for that week, clicking a day header in month/day/week view shifts to day view for that day, keyboard shortcuts can switch between modes, and the modes can automatically switch between day/schedule view based on the number of calendars visible (just as they do in outlook). In addition the control exposes a property named DateNavigator that is used to synchronize selection between a month calendar control and the outlook calendar view similar to that of outlook. You can set this property to an instance of a xamDateNavigator (i.e. you would set this property to a Binding whose ElementName is the xamDateNavigator you have within your ui).
