How can I set using XAML, the SelectedCellHoverBorderColor for sfCalendar. (Cell appearance)

[K Carter]

I see your instruction in https://help.syncfusion.com/windowsforms/sfcalendar/appearance , but this applies to C# and VB.

How can I do it using XAML? I just want to set the cell hover color and border, and leave the rest as default.

Oh, and shape.

Thanks

Hi Carter, 

 

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support. 

 

Based on the provided information, we have analyzed your requirement is “To set hover color for cell and border along with shape” in Xamarin.Form. The cell hover color and shape can be achieved by using the DateSelectionColor and SelectionShape property in MonthViewSettings of SfCalendar. Unfortunately, there is no support to change the HoverBorderColor. 

 

Please refer the following code example for the same, 

 

[C#] 

            <syncfusion:SfCalendar x:Name="calendar" > 

                <syncfusion:SfCalendar.MonthViewSettings> 

                    <syncfusion:MonthViewSettings DateSelectionColor="Red" SelectionShape="Circle" /> 

                </syncfusion:SfCalendar.MonthViewSettings> 

            </syncfusion:SfCalendar> 

 

 

You can also refer our online user guide documentation regarding the customization of MonthView by the following link,

We hope this helps. Please let us know, if need any further assistance.

With all due respect, your reply doesn't answer my question. 

I already have that in my code. Your answer addresses "selection". I asked about "hovering. 

When hovering over a date cell, it changes color and shape. 

I also posted this link, https://help.syncfusion.com/windowsforms/sfcalendar/appearance.

It talks about it as follows.

How can I do it using XAML?

Thank you

Customize cell appearance

BackColor, ForeColor, and BorderColor of each date cells in the calendar can be customized. Date cells in the calendar control can be customized by the following style properties:

• CellBackColor: Changes the background color of date cells in the calendar.
• CellForeColor: Changes the foreground color of date cells in the calendar.
• CellHoverBorderColor: Changes the border color of date cells in the calendar.
• CellFont: Changes the font that is used to draw the date text of cell in the calendar.

Hi Carter, 

 

I hope, you are using Xamarin.Forms Calendar. The link you have shared is for our Windows Forms Calendar control and not Xamarin Calendar control. 

 

Xamarin Calendar control doesn’t provide support cell hover. Refer below link for border customization of Xamarin calendar, 

https://help.syncfusion.com/xamarin/calendar/display-modes#month-view-border-color-customization 

 

Selection

Thanks, 

Ajith.

Ajith,

Yes, you are correct. The web link I copied is for Windows Forms.  Sorry about that.

Anyway, yes I am using Xamarin.Forms calendar. 

1. It just looks funny having a shape, color, and etc. for the calendar, and the hovering

    looking completely different. 

    Since Xamarin Calendar control doesn’t provide any official support for cell hover,

    is there any way to un-officially accomplish this? 

2. If not, can support be added in a future release?

Thanks
