DatePicker calendar custom control for WinRT Xaml
Hi,
I have made a new release on the Datepicker project for WinRT (Xaml) : You can check this new version on Codeplex: WinRT Xaml Calendar Control
The first part “Creation of a date picker” is here : WinRT Xaml Calendar
At the beginning, this control was just a POC (a proof of concept) The first release was not fully functional. There was a lot of bug and unsupported features (well, it was a sample to illustrate the customization of a ListBox )
I had a lot of remarks (bad and good remarks… actually a lot of bad remarks ) because lot of people thought that this control could be used in production code…
That was not the case.
Today, I have made a big work on refactoring this control to provide a real control, that you can use in production code (well actually, I hope you can use it )
To achieve this, I have re-use the LoopItemsPanel (with customization, of course)
You can read the use of this ItemsTemplatePanel here : Create an ItemsTemplatePanel
Here is the (not exhaustive) list of new features:
- Full binding support (Mode=TwoWay)
- Loop list implementation
- Style customization ready
- Mouse gestures (yes !)
- Correction of incorrect items position
If you want to make some suggestions or remarks on this control, please use the Issue Tracker section from the codeplex site
Happy Coding;
