WPF Toolkit DatePicker Month/Year Only

Question

I\'m using the Toolkit\'s Datepicker as above but I\'d like to restrict it to month and year selections only, as in this situation the users don\'t know or care about the ex

I want to provide an alternative solution that doesn't require a lot of code. You can bind to a DatePickers's CalendarOpened event. In that event you can set the display mode of the Calendar to Decade and add an event handler for the DisplayModeChanged event on the Calendar. Then in the DisplayModeChanged event handler you can close the calendar if the mode is month, and also set the SelectedDate to the current DisplayDate. This has worked well for my purposes

XAML

Then for the code behind

private void DatePicker_Opened(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    DatePicker datepicker = (DatePicker)sender;
    Popup popup = (Popup)datepicker.Template.FindName("PART_Popup", datepicker);
    Calendar cal = (Calendar)popup.Child;
    cal.DisplayModeChanged += Calender_DisplayModeChanged;
    cal.DisplayMode = CalendarMode.Decade;
}

private void Calender_DisplayModeChanged(object sender, CalendarModeChangedEventArgs e)
{
    Calendar calendar = (Calendar)sender;
    if (calendar.DisplayMode == CalendarMode.Month)
    {
        calendar.SelectedDate = calendar.DisplayDate;
        YearPicker.IsDropDownOpen = false;
    }
}

I hope this helps!
