How to show popup when I click inside edit + allow selecting month (remove day select)

[Tomasz Jagusz]

Hi there,

I'm new to your WPF controls, so these might be easy questions.

First one:

I'm trying to show the popup (with calendar) as soon as the user clicks in the input (now I must click on the calendar icon to show the popup).

How can I change that?

Second question:

How can I use DateTimeEdit to allow selecting months?

Right now the popup that is shown displays month view (you can select a specific day of the month), but when you click on month name you go to year view (that allows selecting month). I'd like to remove the day picker and allow only selecting the year and month.

Is this possible?

Best regards,

Tomasz

Hi Sudharsan,

thank you for the quick reply.

The second part works as expected. Is there a way to set the "Today" button label? When in month view (DisableDateSelection = true) I'd like to display "Current month" instead of "Today". This is just a small visual thing but would be nice to change.

Best regards,

Tomasz

Hi Bharathi,

thank you for the update.

Ad1 - thank you for creating the feature request

Ad2 - I'm aware of the localization resources, but I need to use multiple DateTimeEdits in my app. If I change localization from "Today" to "Current month", then this will affect all the components.

Ideally, I'd like to be able to specify "Current month" as a label for a specific DateTimeEdit. If that is not possible please create a  feature request for that (if possible)

Best regards,

Tomasz

        { 

            if (dateTimeEdit != null && dateTimeEdit.IsFocused && !dateTimeEdit.CanEdit) 

            { 

                dateTimeEdit.IsDropDownOpen = true; 

            } 

        } 

 

        private void Window_MouseDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e) 

        {
