Description

Applies to

MonthCalendar control

Syntax

controlname.SetSelectedRange ( start, end )

Argument

Description

controlname

The name of the MonthCalendar control for which you want to set the selected range

start

A date value to be set as the earliest date selected

end

A date value to be set as the latest date selected


Return value

Integer.

Returns 0 for success and one of the following negative values otherwise:

-1 -- Invalid arguments

-2 -- Unknown failure

Usage

Use the SetSelectedRange function to select a range of consecutive dates.

SetSelectedRange uses the start date as the end date and vice versa if you specify an end date that is earlier than the start date. You must set the MaxSelectedCount property to a value large enough to support the range before calling SetSelectedRange. SetSelectedRange returns -1 if the dates you specify are outside the range of minimum and maximum dates specified with SetDateLimits, or if the range exceeds MaxSelectedCount. If the start and end dates are the same, a single date is selected.

If the user scrolls the calendar with the navigation buttons when a date range is selected, the date range changes as the calendar scrolls.

SetSelectedDate and SetSelectedRange trigger a DateChanged event. You should not call either method in a DateChanged event, particularly using the Post method.

Examples

This example sets the start date of the selected range to startdate and the end date to enddate:

integer li_return
Date startdate, enddate
startdate = Today()
enddate = Date("12-31-2007")
li_return = mc_1.SetSelectedRange(startdate, enddate)
