Jump to Month of Selected Date

[prakashsatyani]

Hi @rebeccaXam ,

I want calendar view to jump to the date selected from datepicker.

I have tried Calendar.ForceRedraw() but it's not working. I also tried Calendar.SelectedDates.Add() and that doesn't work too.

Please suggest a way to redraw the calendar and jump to month of selected date.

changing the date using the picker is easy
in XMAL:
<DatePicker Grid.Row="2" DateSelected="Handle_DateSelected"> <DatePicker.Format>dd-MM-yyyy</DatePicker.Format> </DatePicker>

In CodeBehind:

void Handle_DateSelected(object sender, Xamarin.Forms.DateChangedEventArgs e) { calendar.SelectedDate = e.NewDate; }

The issue is that, if I change the date to a different month than the one currently showing, it will be selected but it will not move to that month.

@ali-h2010 yes exactly...

I think that you need to just change the StartDate and set it to whatever new value is selected from the picker.
In XamForms.Controls.Calendar/XamForms.Controls.Calendar/Calendar.MonthNavigation.cs
when the user click on the right or left arrow, a new date is created and the day is set to 1 of that new month.
`protected void RightArrowClickedEvent(object s, EventArgs a)
{
if (CalendarViewType == DateTypeEnum.Year)
{
NextPrevYears(true);
}
else
{
NextMonth();
}
RightArrowClicked?.Invoke(s, new DateTimeEventArgs { DateTime = StartDate });
RightArrowCommand?.Execute(StartDate);
}

	public void NextMonth() 
	{
		StartDate = new DateTime(StartDate.Year, StartDate.Month, 1).AddMonths(ShowNumOfMonths);
	}`

Hi @ali-h2010

That worked like a charm....

The only issue now is that it doesn't show the selected date somehow. Please suggest any workaround for that...

Thank you in advance

@prakashsatyani , I am not sure if this is sarcasm or not. I will try to test myself and see what is the issue.

I am not actually one of the contributors of this repository but I really liked this free awesome component and want to support it in the future.

Hi @ali-h2010 ,

That was not a sarcasm. I really am facing this issue.

I am setting StartDate and SelectedDate both as the date selected from datepicker.

The month changes as per your suggestion but the date selection does not show.

I love that you cared to reply and appreciate it...
