asp.net AjaxControlToolkit CalendarExtender: setting displayed month programmatically from client side

Is there a way to set the calendar extender, or a method I can call so it always displays the month containing the selected date when the target textbox is clicked? I have found the method to set the selected date, but this does not automatically bring the month of the selected date into view.

Solution

  • You can handle the onClientShown event:

    <cc1:calendarextender ID="Calendarextender1"
    OnClientShown="clientShown" ...

    For example:

    <script type="text/javascript">
    function clientShown(sender, args) {
        var extender= $find('Calendarextender1');
        sender.set_visibleDate(extender._selectedDate);
        // the following is just to show you some other interesting methods
        //sender.set_todaysDate(extender._selectedDate);
        //sender.set_selectedDate(extender._selectedDate);
    }
</script>

    I'm afraid there's no documentation, so try them out.
