Smart Tag

The Smart Tag allows easy access to frequently needed tasks. You can display it by right clicking on a control in the design window, and choosing Show Smart Tag from its context menu.

RadCalendar Smart Tag

The RadCalendar Smart Tag lets you perform the following:

RadCalendar Tasks

  • SelectedDate - lets you initialize the value of the RadDatePickercontrol to a date you select from a popup calendar.

  • MinDate and MaxDate - specify the range of valid dates that the user can enter into the RadDatePicker control.

  • Enable Keyboard Navigation - toggles support for Access Keys and navigation using the tab keys or arrow keys.

  • Enable Month-Year Fast Navigation - enables or disables the month/year popup which appears when the user clicks the title area of the title bar. It allows the user to change the current view by selecting a specific month and year, or to move to the view that contains the current date.

  • Enable AutoPostBack - lets you enable or disable postbacks when the user selects a date using the calendar control or changes the view using the navigation controls in the title bar. By default, the calendar does not do a postback when the user makes these changes.

  • Enable MultiSelect - lets you specify whether the calendar can be used to select multiple dates or only a single date.

  • Highlight Today's date - applies a special CSS class to highlight the cell which holds the present day.

  • Edit Special Days - brings up the RadCalendarDay Collection Editor, where you can create a collection of "special" days that look and behave differently than other days in the calendar.

Ajax Resources

  • Add RadAjaxManager - adds a RadAjaxManager component to your Web page, and displays the RadAjax Property Builder where you can configure it.

  • Replace ScriptManager with RadScriptManager - replaces the default ScriptManager component that is added for AJAX-enabled Web sites with RadScriptManager.

  • Add RadStyleSheetManager - adds a RadStyleSheetManager to your Web page.

Skin

The Skin drop-down lets you select from a list of available Skins to customize the look of your RadCalendar control.
