Sir,

I am using DateTimePicker control in Windows Application.

If I select DateTimePicker is displayed.

My requirement is to display two calenders, those are current month and next month.

I placed MonthCalender under the DateTimePicker When I select DateTimePicker It's own calender also displayed. and also MonthCalender's selected value is not getting in
DateTimePicker.

Is there any way please help me.

Thanks & Regards

I believe you had posted the same question sometime ago and I had helped you solve it. Didn't you check my last comment? I gave you the idea.

2 solutions

Solution 1

C#

private void form1_load(...)
{
dateTimePicker1.Value = DateTime.Now.AddDays(30);
}

MonthCalendar mc = new MonthCalendar();
private void dateTimePicker1_DropDown(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    mc.DateChanged +=new DateRangeEventHandler(mc_DateChanged); //add new event handler 
    mc.MouseEnter +=new EventHandler(mc_MouseEnter);
    mc.Location = new Point(dateTimePicker1.Location.X + dateTimePicker1.Size.Width , dateTimePicker1.Location.Y +20);
    this.Controls.Add(mc);
    mc.Show();
}
private void mc_MouseEnter(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    mc.BringToFront();
    mc.Focus();
}
 
private void mc_DateChanged(object sender, DateRangeEventArgs e)
{
    mc.Hide();
    dateTimePicker1.Value = e.Start;
}
private void dateTimePicker1_CloseUp(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//cln.Hide(); //just for timebeing
}

I hope I have finally solved your question. Vote for it if it worked and then mark it as solved.

Unfortunately, the datetimepicker control doesn't gives focus to the calender control and select its value until the datetimepicker is closeup. Here is an alternate solution. It's not perfect but i hope it works for timebeing.

hi
to all I got finally solution. I send this solution to all for future use.

First of all add a picturebox inside DateTimepicker. Add a image inside a picture box That image look \/ i.e at the end of datetime picker what is contains.

In form load hide monthcalender. Picture-box click event show monthcalender.
See The code here

    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            monthCalendar1.Hide();
        }

      

        private void dateTimePicker1_ValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
           
            monthCalendar1.SetDate(dateTimePicker1.Value);
         
        }
         
        private void monthCalendar1_DateSelected(object sender, DateRangeEventArgs e)
        {
            dateTimePicker1.Value = Convert.ToDateTime(monthCalendar1.SelectionStart.ToShortDateString());
            monthCalendar1.Hide();
     
        }

        private void Form1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
        {
            monthCalendar1.Hide();
        }

        private void dateTimePicker1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
        {
            monthCalendar1.Hide();
        }

        private void pictureBox1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            monthCalendar1.Show();
           monthCalendar1.Focus();
        }

        private void monthCalendar1_DateChanged(object sender, DateRangeEventArgs e)
        {

            dateTimePicker1.Value = Convert.ToDateTime(monthCalendar1.SelectionStart.ToShortDateString());
        }

      
       
    }
}
