Customize-MAUI-Calendar-Control

The .NET MAUI Calendar features a user-friendly interface with month, year, decade, and century views for easy navigation. In the month view, users can highlight special dates and weekends. The calendar supports the selection of a single date, multiple dates, or a range of dates. Additionally, it can display different types of calendars based on various cultures and regions.

This sample demonstrates how to customize the MAUI Calendar Control in a .NET MAUI Application. You'll see how to disable past dates and apply distinct backgrounds for past, present, and future dates.

You'll also learn how to display the calendar in a pop-up window, customize the appearance of selected dates, and highlight special dates.
