Navigation

Performing Navigation

From UI

Navigation can be performed on the Calendar by tapping on the backwards and forwards arrows at the top.

From Code

Navigation can be performed by executing the NavigateCalendarCommand which calls the NavigateCalendar method internally.
Navigation can also be performed by changing the NavigatedDate property.

Navigation Options

Navigation Amount

You can change the time unit the calendar navigates in by changing the NavigationTimeUnit property.
You can change the amount the forwards and backwards arrows navigate by by changing the BackwardsNavigationAmount and ForwardsNavigationAmount properties.
For example:

• NavigationTimeUnit.Day + a NavigationAmount of 15 will move the calendar 15 days forward.
• NavigationTimeUnit.Day + a NavigationAmount of -15 will move the calendar 15 days backward.
• NavigationTimeUnit.Month + a NavigationAmount of 3 will move the calendar 3 months forward.
• NavigationTimeUnit.Year + a NavigationAmount of -8 will move the calendar 8 years backward.

Limiting to a Range

Navigation can be limited to a specific range of dates by setting ClampNavigationToDayRange to true and changing the DayRangeMinimumDate and DayRangeMaximumDate properties.

Looping

You can specify the behaviour of the Calendar when trying to navigate outside the bounds of the day range by changing the NavigationLoopMode property.

Properties

Property	Type	Description
NavigatedDate	DateTime	The date the calendar is currently navigated to.
NavigateCalendarCommand	ICommand (Readonly Property)	The command used to navigate the calendar. Calls NavigateCalendar internally which takes a parameter of type int indicating how many of the NavigationTimeUnit to navigate by.

ForwardsNavigationAmount	int	The number of NavigationTimeUnit to navigate by when navigating forwards.
BackwardsNavigationAmount	int	The number of NavigationTimeUnit to navigate by when navigating backwards.
DayRangeMinimumDate	DateTime	The inclusive lower bound of the 'Day Range'.
DayRangeMaximumDate	DateTime	The inclusive upper bound of the 'Day Range'.
ClampNavigationToDayRange	bool	Determines whether to treat DayRangeMinimumDate and DayRangeMaximumDate as the bounds for navigation as opposed to DateTime.MinValue and DateTime.MaxValue.
NavigationLoopMode	NavigationLoopMode	The behaviour of the calendar when navigating outside the allowed range. DontLoop Don't loop. LoopMinimum Loop to the upper bound when navigating past the lower bound. LoopMaximum Loop to the lower bound when navigating past the upper bound.
