Month Calendar Control issues....

Question

Hi,

I am trying to make an application that uses the MonthCalender. I want the user to be able to click a date on the month calender and a new window (one that I have already made) pops up. I want the user to be able to interact with that window also. Then depending on a few conditions that I program into the application the date (on the Month Calender) will turn a different color.

For example, if the user clicks the "25th" a new window will appear, the user fills out that window, and depending how they fill it out the date on the calendar will turn either green or red.

I don't wan't anyone to write the code for me, just please point me in the right direction. Maybe tell me how to get another window to appear when the user clicks a date on the calendar. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Assume you have your other form out there written named postDatePopUp:

You need to have a handler on the data changed of your calender and run this when that happens.

1	private postDatePopUp frm1  = new postDatePopUp();
2	private DialogResult datePopUpResult;
3	//Assume this returns a dialogresult based on if what we wanted happened
4	datePopUpResult = frm1.ShowDialog()
5	if(whatyouwantedhappened = datePopUpResult)
6	{
7	changeyourdaytoacolor();
8	}
9	else
10	{
11	changeyourdaytoadifferentcolor();
12	}

I am sort of guessing what you want.  So i could be going the wrong way.
