Using Visual Basic 2008 and the MonthCalendar Control

Is there a way to make the calendar advance a specified number of months at
a time.

For example I want to place one calendar on a form, and when the user
advances the calendar, it advances 3 months instead of one.

Thus I could effectively display Jan-->Apr-->Jul-->Oct thus limited the
user's selection of dates to dates with in those months only.

Another example, I would like to make the calendar advance 12 months at a
time, so I could display one monthcalendar on the form, and the user would
just advance 1 year at a time Jan 2009 --> Jan 2010 --> Jan 2011 and so forth.

How can I accomplish this?

Thanks

Hi Smurfman,

Thank you for using Microsoft Managed Newsgroup Service, I'm Zhi-Xin Ye,
it's my pleasure to work with you on this issue.

To advance a specified number of months at a time, you can specify a value
for the MonthCalendar.ScrollChange property . For example:

//Advance by 3 months at a time.
this.monthCalendar1.ScrollChange = 3;

//Advance by 1 year at a time.
this.monthCalendar1.ScrollChange = 12;

Please try my suggestion and let me know whether it makes sense to you.

Okay, I will try this today.

So suppose I want a MonthCalendar that is 1x3 but shows Jan 2009, Jan 2010,
and Jan 2011, and advanceing the calendar using the buttons would shift the
dates 12 months at a time - so that either the next set of 3 would be Jan
2012, Jan 2013, and Jan 2014 OR so that each woudl move to the left if
advancing, meaning that Jan 2009 would become Jan 2010, and Jan 2010 would
become Jan 2011, and Jan 2012 would become 2013.

Can I accomplish this?

Thanks
J

Hi smurfman,

As far as I know, the MonthCalendar control does not support this kind of
feature, a MonthCalendar with 1x3 dimension can only display three
continuous months, for example, Jan. 2009, Feb. 2009 and Mar. 2009. You
can use three MonthCalendar controls instead.
