How to Block past date or selected dates in XamDateTimeInput

I have infragistics XamDateTimeInput control. I want to prevent users to select some configured dates or past dates(Disable the dates). Here is the example which i found in a train booking site. They disabled the past dates.

Thanks.

Solution

  • I don't have the Infragistics control to test this, but from studying the XamDateTimeInput doc and the ValueConstraint doc, you should be able to set a min and max date by:

    <XamDateTimeInput ...>
    <XamDateTimeInput.ValueConstraint>
        <ValueConstraint MinInclusive="Your min date" MaxInclusive="Your max date"/>
    </XamDateTimeInput.ValueConstraint>
</XamDateTimeInput>

    I can't find a way to block a specific date range though. However, a few weeks ago I stumbled across this article on CodeProject, where the author has modified a regular WPF DatePicker. His solution also includes support for Blackout Dates:

    You may use this post to modify your Infragistics XamDateTimeInput control. I can't test or provide an example here, as like I said, I haven't purchased their controls.
