System.Web.UI.WebControls.Calendar
-
I am wondering if anyone has improved on the Calendar control that is built into the .NET framework for ASP.NET. Specifically, I am looking for the ability to jump by year (in addition to the ability to jump by month that is already present) and the ability to make the calendar control movable. Click and drag, ya know? One option, which is an OK solution, is to open the calendar control in a new window to give users the ability to click and drag it where ever they want. However, I'd rather not use this method because i think it could turn into more of a headache then it needs to be (i.e. the window loses focus). Not too mention I have the benefit of only needing to worry about 1 browser ... IE 5.5 and higher. So, I mean, there's got to be a way to make the stupid thing move with some DHTML without a crazed amount of work. OK, enough rambling ... does anyone know of commercially available products (free would be great) or how to go about either expanding the Calendar control creating a custom one from scratch? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated,

Newport News, VA, USAHi Wally Atkins, Please check out this URL: http://www.geocities.com/tspicker/ http://www.softcomplex.com/products/tigra_calendar/ Actually this is a small JavaScript TimeStamp Picker, which really and meticulously integrates with ASP.NET pages. You can best configure
- Different DateFormats
- TimeStamping (Automatic Validations)
- Year/Month Jumping
Configuring it is really a breeze, both from setting up and the stylesheets etc. Deepak Kumar Vasudevan http://deepak.portland.co.uk/
