2 | | -This session describes how to create a DatePicker in Winforms using ButtonEdit and MonthCalendarAdv |
| 2 | +This example demonstrates how to create a **DatePicker** in a WinForms application using Syncfusion’s `ButtonEdit` and `MonthCalendarAdv` controls. The combination of these controls allows developers to build a user-friendly date selection interface that integrates seamlessly into Windows Forms applications. |
| 3 | + |
| 4 | +The `ButtonEdit` control acts as a container for a clickable button, which when clicked, displays the `MonthCalendarAdv` control. This calendar control provides a rich UI for selecting dates and can be customized to suit various application needs. |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +### Key Implementation Steps: |
| 7 | +- Initialize the `MonthCalendarAdv` control. |
| 8 | +- Add the calendar to a popup container. |
| 9 | +- Attach the popup to the `ButtonEdit` control. |
| 10 | +- Handle the `DateSelected` event to update the text box with the selected date. |
| 11 | +- Toggle the visibility of the calendar popup when the button is clicked. |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +### Sample Code |
| 14 | +```csharp |
| 15 | +MonthCalendarAdv monthCalendarAdv = new MonthCalendarAdv(); |
| 16 | +public Form1() |
| 17 | +{ |
| 18 | + InitializeComponent(); |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | + childButton.Click += ChildButton_Click; |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | + calendarPopup.Controls.Add(monthCalendarAdv); |
| 23 | + buttonEdit1.Buttons.Add(childButton); |
| 24 | + tableLayoutPanel1.Controls.Add(calendarPopup, 0, 1); |
| 25 | + monthCalendarAdv.DateSelected += MonthCalendarAdv_DateSelected; |
| 26 | +} |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +private void MonthCalendarAdv_DateSelected(object sender, EventArgs e) |
| 29 | +{ |
| 30 | + buttonEdit1.TextBox.Text = monthCalendarAdv.Value.ToString(); |
| 31 | + calendarPopup.Visible = false; |
| 32 | +} |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +private void ChildButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) |
| 35 | +{ |
| 36 | + calendarPopup.Visible = true; |
| 37 | +} |
| 38 | +``` |
