DropDownCalendarControl years dropdown

[luchiian]

Hi,
I am using DropDownCalendarControl and I se current Value to be DateTime.Now. In years dropdown I see years from 2002-2011. The number of years listed in years dropdown can be changed? I need to use it to select birth date and it's possible that the user want to select 1940 and for that, he need to pres Prev arrow too many times.

There is a solution on that?

Thank you.

Hi Iryna,

Currently DropDownCalendar Control do not support to specify the number of combo items for the year section.

Using reflection, We can modify the number of Combo Items to be shown in the DropDownCalendar control. Please refer the below code snippet.

[C#]

DropDownCalendarControl DropDown = new DropDownCalendarControl();
//Access the variable 'm_iCountYearInCombo' which specify the number of combo items for the year section
FieldInfo count_Years = DropDown.GetType().GetField("m_iCountYearInCombo", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
//Set new value to this variable
count_Years.SetValue(DropDown, 70);

Please refer the below sample,
