Disable deselection and allow selection of different dates?

[ali-h2010]

First of all, I would like to thank every person who contributed to create and maintain this great component.

I have 2 questions

• How can I disable deselection?
• how to remove the left and right borders of date cells?

Is this possible without changing the source code? any help will be appreciated.

Hi Ali,

For disable deselection, you may set SpecialDate property "Selectable = false".

I don't know how to remove borders.

Hi Brighthui, Thanks for your reply. Can you Kindly demonstrate how to do this in Xamal or the Code behind? I only have specialDates property which takes a list.

Sorry for the noob question @Brighthui this is all what I tried: XamForms.Controls.SpecialDate test = new XamForms.Controls.SpecialDate(DateTime.Today); test.Selectable = false;

It's not working though

I added the above special date, but I can still deselect dates calendar.SpecialDates.Add(test);

This only made today's date unelectable

I was able to remove the deselection by commenting the condition that checks if the date is selected in the file Calendar.Selected.cs

//if (button.IsSelected) //{ // ResetButton(button); //} //else //{ SelectedDates.Add(SelectedDate.Value.Date); var spD = SpecialDates?.FirstOrDefault(s => s.Date.Date == button.Date.Value.Date); SetButtonSelected(button, spD); //}

But now, how can I create the package or use the updated code on my project? any help will be appreciated.

I am not sure what i did differently but the solution above is not working. I lost the source for the code that i modified to remove deselection. I only have the nuget package. Can someone help please

I added this code `if (!date.HasValue) return false;

        if (SelectedDates.Count()>0)//check if there is a selected date
        {
            int result = DateTime.Compare((System.DateTime)date, SelectedDates[0]);
            if (result == 0)//Equal Dates
            {
                return false;
            }
        }`

in the Calendar.Selected.cs and commented the line in DateClickedEvent in calendar.cs as the following: protected void DateClickedEvent(object s, EventArgs a) { var selectedDate = (s as CalendarButton).Date; if (SelectedDate.HasValue && selectedDate.HasValue && SelectedDate.Value == selectedDate.Value) { ChangeSelectedDate(selectedDate); //removed to avoid deselection //SelectedDate = null; } else { SelectedDate = selectedDate; } }
