Hi I searched through the forum but I could not find an answer.

Okay as you know if you click on the top heading on the calendar extendar it switching from showing you days to showing you month.

Then if you click the top header again it switches to Year view etc etc.

What I want to do is when the Calendar pops up it should be in the Month selection by default.

Any pointers or help is greatly appreciated!! thanks.

Hi Musashikyo,

Have you downloaded the source of the AjaxControlToolkit that you are using? If not, you have to download that and modify the CalendarBehavior.js and then recompile and use it.

I suppose to post here the code of CalendarBehavior.js but it has 1600+ lines. In the version of AjaxControlToolkit that I'm using at line 70 of CalendarBehavior.js it has this:

this._mode = "days";

You have to change the value with this:

this._mode = "months";

and recompile it. Use the recompiled AjaxControlToolkit.dll and every calendarextender that you used will be in Month Mode view. Or I'm giving option if you want I can give you the updated DLL that works for VS 2005 (.Net 2.0)???

I hope it solves your problem.

Hi,

You can define Calendar Shown client event and set the mode as below.

    function onCalendarShown(sender,args)
    {   
        sender._switchMode("years", true);  
        sender._switchMode("months", true);
 
    }

Hi Vince,

I have tried, this works great. Thanks Vince, you gave me an idea also.

sender._switchMode("days", true); // for showing Day View calendar
sender._switchMode("months", true); // for showing Month View calendar
sender._switchMode("years", true); // for showing Year View calendar

Musashikyo, to implement this in a Calendar Extender, add this property: OnClientShown="onCalendarShown"

Thanks a lot Vince.

Thanks Shier and Vince your replies were off great help. I am really sorry for not getting back sooner as I was on vacation. This did solve my problem! Regards, Kyo
