Methods

The CalendarPicker class has these methods. It also inherits methods from the Object class.

Method Description
AddHandler Adds a routed event handler for a specified routed event, adding the handler to the handler collection on the current element. Specify handledEventsToo as true to have the provided handler be invoked even if the event is handled elsewhere. (Inherited from UIElement)
ApplyTemplate Loads the relevant control template so that its parts can be referenced. (Inherited from Control)
Arrange Positions child objects and determines a size for a UIElement. Parent objects that implement custom layout for their child elements should call this method from their layout override implementations to form a recursive layout update. (Inherited from UIElement)
ArrangeOverride Provides the behavior for the Arrange pass of layout. Classes can override this method to define their own Arrange pass behavior. (Inherited from FrameworkElement)
CancelDirectManipulations Cancels ongoing direct manipulation processing (system-defined panning/zooming) on any ScrollViewer parent that contains the current UIElement. (Inherited from UIElement)
CapturePointer Sets pointer capture to a UIElement. Once captured, only the element that has capture will fire pointer-related events. (Inherited from UIElement)
ClearValue Clears the local value of a dependency property. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
CreateValidationIndicator Instantiates a new validation error indicator for the control. (Inherited from Control)
FindName Retrieves an object that has the specified identifier name. (Inherited from FrameworkElement)
FindSubElementsForTouchTargeting Enables a UIElement subclass to expose child elements that assist with resolving touch targeting. (Inherited from UIElement)
Focus Attempts to set the focus on the control. (Inherited from Control)
GetAnimationBaseValue Returns any base value established for a dependency property, which would apply in cases where an animation is not active. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
GetBindingExpression Returns the BindingExpression that represents the binding on the specified property. (Inherited from FrameworkElement)
GetIsTemplateFocusTarget Gets the value of the Control.IsTemplateFocusTarget XAML attached property for the target element. (Inherited from Control)
GetTemplateChild Retrieves the named element in the instantiated ControlTemplate visual tree. (Inherited from Control)
GetValue Returns the current effective value of a dependency property from a DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
GoToElementStateCore When implemented in a derived class, enables per-state construction of a visual tree for a control template in code, rather than by loading XAML for all states at control startup. (Inherited from FrameworkElement)
InvalidateArrange Invalidates the arrange state (layout) for a UIElement. After the invalidation, the UIElement will have its layout updated, which will occur asynchronously. (Inherited from UIElement)
InvalidateMeasure Invalidates the measurement state (layout) for a UIElement. (Inherited from UIElement)
Measure Updates the DesiredSize of a UIElement. Typically, objects that implement custom layout for their layout children call this method from their own MeasureOverride implementations to form a recursive layout update. (Inherited from UIElement)
MeasureOverride Provides the behavior for the Measure pass of the layout cycle. Classes can override this method to define their own Measure pass behavior. (Inherited from FrameworkElement)
OnApplyTemplate Invoked whenever application code or internal processes (such as a rebuilding layout pass) call ApplyTemplate. In simplest terms, this means the method is called just before a UI element displays in your app. Override this method to influence the default post-template logic of a class. (Inherited from FrameworkElement)
OnCreateAutomationPeer When implemented in a derived class, returns class-specific AutomationPeer implementations for the Microsoft UI Automation infrastructure. (Inherited from UIElement)
OnDisconnectVisualChildren Override this method to implement how layout and logic should behave when items are removed from a class-specific content or children property. (Inherited from UIElement)
OnDoubleTapped Called before the DoubleTapped event occurs. (Inherited from Control)
OnDragEnter Called before the DragEnter event occurs. (Inherited from Control)
OnDragLeave Called before the DragLeave event occurs. (Inherited from Control)
OnDragOver Called before the DragOver event occurs. (Inherited from Control)
OnDrop Called before the Drop event occurs. (Inherited from Control)
OnGotFocus Called before the GotFocus event occurs. (Inherited from Control)
OnHolding Called before the Holding event occurs. (Inherited from Control)
OnKeyDown Called before the KeyDown event occurs. (Inherited from Control)
OnKeyUp Called before the KeyUp event occurs. (Inherited from Control)
OnLostFocus Called before the LostFocus event occurs. (Inherited from Control)
OnManipulationCompleted Called before the ManipulationCompleted event occurs. (Inherited from Control)
OnManipulationDelta Called before the ManipulationDelta event occurs. (Inherited from Control)
OnManipulationInertiaStarting Called before the ManipulationInertiaStarting event occurs. (Inherited from Control)
OnManipulationStarted Called before the ManipulationStarted event occurs. (Inherited from Control)
OnManipulationStarting Called before the ManipulationStarting event occurs. (Inherited from Control)
OnPointerCanceled Called before the PointerCanceled event occurs. (Inherited from Control)
OnPointerCaptureLost Called before the PointerCaptureLost event occurs. (Inherited from Control)
OnPointerEntered Called before the PointerEntered event occurs. (Inherited from Control)
OnPointerExited Called before the PointerExited event occurs. (Inherited from Control)
OnPointerMoved Called before the PointerMoved event occurs. (Inherited from Control)
OnPointerPressed Called before the PointerPressed event occurs. (Inherited from Control)
OnPointerReleased Called before the PointerReleased event occurs. (Inherited from Control)
OnPointerWheelChanged Called before the PointerWheelChanged event occurs. (Inherited from Control)
OnRightTapped Called before the RightTapped event occurs. (Inherited from Control)
OnTapped Called before the Tapped event occurs. (Inherited from Control)
ReadLocalValue Returns the local value of a dependency property, if a local value is set. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
RegisterPropertyChangedCallback Registers an instance-specific property value for a property-changed notification that comes from the core property system. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
ReleasePointerCapture Releases pointer captures for capture of one specific pointer by this UIElement. (Inherited from UIElement)
ReleasePointerCaptures Releases all pointer captures held by this element. (Inherited from UIElement)
RemoveHandler Removes the specified routed event handler from this UIElement. Typically the handler in question was added by AddHandler. (Inherited from UIElement)
SetBinding Attaches a binding to a FrameworkElement, using the provided binding object. (Inherited from FrameworkElement)
SetDisplayDate Shows the specified date in the calendar picker.
SetIsTemplateFocusTarget Sets the value of the Control.IsTemplateFocusTarget XAML attached property for a target element. (Inherited from Control)
SetValue Sets the local value of a dependency property on a DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
SetYearDecadeDisplayDimensions Sets the number of rows and columns to use in the Year and Decade display modes of the picker's CalendarView.
StartDragAsync Initiates a drag-and-drop operation. (Inherited from UIElement)
TransformToVisual Returns a transform object that can be used to transform coordinates from the UIElement to the specified object. (Inherited from UIElement)
UnregisterPropertyChangedCallback Cancels a change notification that was previously registered by calling RegisterPropertyChangedCallback. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
UpdateLayout Ensures that all positions of child objects of a UIElement are properly updated for layout. (Inherited from UIElement)
