Is there a way to add holidays to the Xtreme Calendar control, to display a different color for that days when displaying the day or WorkWeek, the same way as 'WorkDayStartTime' does ?

Eventually, a different color to display lunch time ?

Thanks for your reply.

Hello,

Currently there are only 2 ways to define work time for the Calendar control: using DayStartTime / DayEndTime properties and using WorkWeekMask property. First pair allows controlling work time during the day, and the second one – for days of the week.

So, unfortunately you can not control a lunch time. We’ll consider those as a feature requests for the next version.

Currently I can propose only 1 workaround for controlling work/non work days like holidays. The idea is that if you have shown no more than 1 week in day view, you can capture days selection changed event and adjust WorkWeekMask property according to days on the current week

Something like the following:


Private Sub CalendarControl_SelectionChanged(ByVal SelType As  XtremeCalendarControl.CalendarSelectionChanged)
    If SelType = xtpCalendarSelectionDays Then
        ...
        CalendarControl.Options.WorkWeekMask = xtpCalendarDaySunday 
        For i = 0 To DaysCount
              If CalendarControl.ActiveView.Days(i).Date = CheckedDate Then
                  CalendarControl.Options.WorkWeekMask = CalendarControl.Options.WorkWeekMask Or xtpCalendarDayWednesday
    ...

Or, if you are using C++/MFC version of the control, you can override IsWorkDateTime method, and that would solve both problems.

Thank you sserge. I understand your explaination and workaround solution. However I actually need is a "highlight" of holidays (not only in day week view but also in month view, etc.) or lunch time. Even more some cusotmized icon could be displayed for special days like a bell for Xmas Day. I believe this has not been implemented in ActiveX version yet. Just wish it be done next release.

Thank you anyway.
