Calendar for WinRT Edition allows you to create customized, rich applications. Make the most of it by taking advantage of the following key features:
By default, C1Calendar supports slide and flick gestures for month-to-month navigation. Or tap the navigation buttons to achieve the same effect.
Enable the user to select one day or many days through a default tap or hold and slide gesture. Control the number of days they can select using the MaxSelectionCount property.
Specify the starting day of the week, the work weekdays collection, and more. You can use C1Calendar with any supported culture in WinRT. Visually distinguish between work days and weekends through special brush properties. Make any date bolded to highlight it to the end-user.
With C1Calendar you can easily change control brushes without having to override templates. Each visible part of the control has its own brush, including adjacent days, weekends, selected days, the month header and more.
You can alter the appearance of any individual day using a custom template and template selector. Use custom C1DataTemplateSelector implementations to display custom content within the date blocks, such as calendar appointments.
Display week numbers by just setting one simple property. There are never any trailing empty weeks because C1Calendar always displays the minimum number of rows required per month whether it is 4, 5 or 6 weeks long.
Enter historical dates (dates from previous years or decades) easily using the year mode and decade mode. Tap the month header to switch to the year mode and the year header to switch to the decade mode. See Step 3 of 3: Running the Calendar Application for further details on how to use this feature.
