    Step 2 of 3: Customizing the Control
    In This Topic

    In the previous step, you created a UWP-style application with a C1DateTimePicker control. In this step, you will modify the appearance of the control.

    Complete the following steps:

    1. Add Height="60" to the <DateTimeEditors:C1DateTimePicker/> tag to determine height of the control. The XAML markup appears as follows:
    C#
    Copy Code
    <DateTimeEditors:C1DateTimePicker Height="60"/>
    
    1. Add Width="450" to the <DateTimeEditors:C1DateTimePicker/> tag to determine the width of the control. The XAML markup appears as follows:
    Markup
    Copy Code
    <DateTimeEditors:C1DateTimePicker Height="60" Width="450"/>
    
    1. Add TimeFormat="ShortTime" to the <DateTimeEditors:C1DateTimePicker/> tag to change the format of the time to a short format consisting of only hours and minute spaces. The XAML markup appears as follows:
    Markup
    Copy Code
    <DateTimeEditors:C1DateTimePicker Height="60" Width="450" TimeFormat="ShortTime"/>
    
    1. Add DateFormat="Long" to the <DateTimeEditors:C1DateTimePicker/> tag to change the format of the date to a longer format that includes the weekday. The XAML markup appears as follows:
    Markup
    Copy Code
    <DateTimeEditors:C1DateTimePicker Height="60" Width="450" TimeFormat="ShortTime" DateFormat="Long"/>
    
    1. Add FirstDayOfWeek="Wednesday" to the <DateTimeEditors:C1DateTimePicker/> tag; this will change the first day of the drop-down calendar's week to Wednesday. The XAML markup appears as follows:
    Markup
    Copy Code
    <DateTimeEditors:C1DateTimePicker Height="60" Width="450" TimeFormat="ShortTime" DateFormat="Long" FirstDayOfWeek="Wednesday"/>
    

    In this step, you customized the appearance of the C1DateTimePicker control. In the next step, you will run the project and experience the functionality of the control.
