Hi.

Please can you tell me the best way to programatically select an item in the CalendarView control.

I have the CurrentView set to Timetable, and I have a number of items added to the Schedule associate with this View.

Essentially I want to be able to select the item, so that it moves into view in the Calendar and changes to the selected style, as if the user clicked the item. There is no inplace editing.

Thanks,

Daniel

Great, Thanks Meppy.

That certainly lets me select the item. However the view isn't scrolling when an item gets selected (I've got EnsureVisibleSelection set to true.)

I can get the day to show using the Selection.Set property; but do I have to write code to move the VScrollPos to scroll the selected item into view (I've included the code I'm using at the end of this post) or is there a better way?

Also FYI the help says that the ItemSelection Property is read only!

"public ItemSelection ItemSelection { get; }"

Regards,

Daniel


My Code:

    Private Sub ScheduleSingletonPropertyChangedHandler(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.PropertyChangedEventArgs)
        If e.PropertyName = "SelectedLesson" Then
            'The user's changed the selected lesson

            UXCalendar_Month.ItemSelection.Clear()
            UXCalendarDetailView.ItemSelection.Clear()

            If ScheduleSingleton.Instance.SelectedLesson IsNot Nothing Then
                UXCalendar_Month.Selection.Set(ScheduleSingleton.Instance.SelectedLesson.StartDate)
                UXCalendarDetailView.Selection.Set(ScheduleSingleton.Instance.SelectedLesson.StartDate)

                UXCalendar_Month.ItemSelection.Add(ScheduleSingleton.Instance.SelectedLesson.Appointment)
                UXCalendarDetailView.ItemSelection.Add(ScheduleSingleton.Instance.SelectedLesson.Appointment)
            End If
        End If
    End Sub 

There is much easier way to accomplish this, by calling the Calendar.EnsureVisible method and passing the item of interest as argument. The following code selects an item and brings it into view:

Calendar.ItemSelection.Add(item)
Calendar.EnsureVisible(item)
