Is there any way programmatically select an event in the calender, highlighting the event the same way as it would if you manually selected the event in the control?

Hello,

You can use SelectViewEvent Method to select or unselect an event.

For the SelectViewEvent method, we must specify a ViewEvent and not an Event, so we must retrieve the ViewEvent in the ActiveView of the Calendar.

If we suppose to have the Event display on the calendar, and you get the day and the id property of the event, this sub find it on the ActiveView and select it:

Sub SelectThisEvent(FindDt As Date, FindId As Long)
Dim ViewEvt As CalendarViewEvent, i As Long, Ndx As Long
    With Calendar
      Ndx = -1
      For i = 0 To .ActiveView.DaysCount - 1
        If .ActiveView(i).Date = DateValue(FindDt) Then
            Ndx = i
            Exit For
        End If
      Next

      If Ndx > -1 Then
        For Each ViewEvt In .ActiveView(Ndx)
            If FindId = ViewEvt.Event.Id Then
                .ActiveView.SelectViewEvent ViewEvt, True
            End If
        Next
      End If
    End With
End Sub

Very nice !

Where did you find in the help file that you can give an index to Calendar.ActiveView ?

In the 11.2.2 calendarcontrol help file i see :
Public Property ActiveView() As CalendarView

So i can't imagine we give an index to this method ?!

Thanks for your help

Small addition, another way to select an event by it's key:

Private Sub SelectEventInView(ByRef prmCalendar As XtremeCalendarControl.CalendarControl, prmAgendaId As Long)

    Dim objViewGroup As XtremeCalendarControl.CalendarViewGroup
    Dim objViewEvent As XtremeCalendarControl.CalendarViewEvent

    For Each objViewGroup In prmCalendar.ActiveView(0).ViewGroups
        For Each objViewEvent In objViewGroup.ViewEvents
            If objViewEvent.Event.id = prmAgendaId Then
                objViewEvent.Selected = True
            End If
        Next
    Next

End Sub

Note: apparantly this only works if the view is set to week or day view.
