Hi,

I have made a new release on the Datepicker project for WinRT (Xaml) :

You can read the creation history on my blog : 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 Sourire)

I had a lot of remarks (bad and good remarks… actually a lot of bad remarks Clignement d'œil) 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 Sourire)

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;
