How to: Display Specific Days in Bold with the Windows Forms MonthCalendar Control
The Windows Forms xref:System.Windows.Forms.MonthCalendar control can display days in bold type, either as singular dates or on a repeating basis. You might do this to draw attention to special dates, such as holidays and weekends.
Three properties control this feature. The xref:System.Windows.Forms.MonthCalendar.BoldedDates%2A property contains single dates. The xref:System.Windows.Forms.MonthCalendar.AnnuallyBoldedDates%2A property contains dates that appear in bold every year. The xref:System.Windows.Forms.MonthCalendar.MonthlyBoldedDates%2A property contains dates that appear in bold every month. Each of these properties contains an array of xref:System.DateTime objects. To add or remove a date from one of these lists, you must add or remove a xref:System.DateTime object.
To make a date appear in bold type
-
Create the xref:System.DateTime objects.
Dim myVacation1 As Date = New DateTime(2001, 6, 10) Dim myVacation2 As Date = New DateTime(2001, 6, 17)
DateTime myVacation1 = new DateTime(2001, 6, 10); DateTime myVacation2 = new DateTime(2001, 6, 17);
DateTime myVacation1 = DateTime(2001, 6, 10); DateTime myVacation2 = DateTime(2001, 6, 17);
-
Make a single date bold by calling the xref:System.Windows.Forms.MonthCalendar.AddBoldedDate%2A, xref:System.Windows.Forms.MonthCalendar.AddAnnuallyBoldedDate%2A, or xref:System.Windows.Forms.MonthCalendar.AddMonthlyBoldedDate%2A method of the xref:System.Windows.Forms.MonthCalendar control.
MonthCalendar1.AddBoldedDate(myVacation1) MonthCalendar1.AddBoldedDate(myVacation2)
monthCalendar1.AddBoldedDate(myVacation1); monthCalendar1.AddBoldedDate(myVacation2);
monthCalendar1->AddBoldedDate(myVacation1); monthCalendar1->AddBoldedDate(myVacation2);
–or–
Make a set of dates bold all at once by creating an array of xref:System.DateTime objects and assigning it to one of the properties.
Dim VacationDates As DateTime() = {myVacation1, myVacation2} MonthCalendar1.BoldedDates = VacationDates
DateTime[] VacationDates = {myVacation1, myVacation2}; monthCalendar1.BoldedDates = VacationDates;
Array<DateTime>^ VacationDates = {myVacation1, myVacation2}; monthCalendar1->BoldedDates = VacationDates;
To make a date appear in the regular font
-
Make a single bolded date appear in the regular font by calling the xref:System.Windows.Forms.MonthCalendar.RemoveBoldedDate%2A, xref:System.Windows.Forms.MonthCalendar.RemoveAnnuallyBoldedDate%2A, or xref:System.Windows.Forms.MonthCalendar.RemoveMonthlyBoldedDate%2A method.
MonthCalendar1.RemoveBoldedDate(myVacation1) MonthCalendar1.RemoveBoldedDate(myVacation2)
monthCalendar1.RemoveBoldedDate(myVacation1); monthCalendar1.RemoveBoldedDate(myVacation2);
monthCalendar1->RemoveBoldedDate(myVacation1); monthCalendar1->RemoveBoldedDate(myVacation2);
–or–
Remove all the bolded dates from one of the three lists by calling the xref:System.Windows.Forms.MonthCalendar.RemoveAllBoldedDates%2A, xref:System.Windows.Forms.MonthCalendar.RemoveAllAnnuallyBoldedDates%2A, or xref:System.Windows.Forms.MonthCalendar.RemoveAllMonthlyBoldedDates%2A method.
MonthCalendar1.RemoveAllBoldedDates()monthCalendar1.RemoveAllBoldedDates();monthCalendar1->RemoveAllBoldedDates(); -
Update the appearance of the font by calling the xref:System.Windows.Forms.MonthCalendar.UpdateBoldedDates%2A method.
MonthCalendar1.UpdateBoldedDates()monthCalendar1.UpdateBoldedDates();monthCalendar1->UpdateBoldedDates();
