AlternateMonthAppearance Property

Returns or sets the Infragistics.Win.AppearanceBase for the alternate months.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Property AlternateMonthAppearance As Infragistics.Win.AppearanceBase
public Infragistics.Win.AppearanceBase AlternateMonthAppearance {get; set;}
Remarks

The determination for which months are considered alternate months is based on the month of the current date. The subsequent and following months would be considered alternate months. This would then alternate again and the following months would not be considered alternate months.

For example:

If today's date is 7/4/01, July 2001 would not be an alternate month. June 2001 and August 2001 are alternate months. Following in that pattern, May 2001 and September 2001 would not be considered alternate months.

The only control to utilize this setting by default is the UltraMonthViewSingle. However, the UltraMonthViewMulti and UltraCalendarCombo can also make use of this setting if the UltraMonthViewMultiBase.UseAlternateMonthAppearances property is set to true. To determine if a particular Infragistics.Win.UltraWinSchedule.MonthViewMulti.VisibleMonth in the UltraCalendarCombo or UltraMonthViewMulti is an alternate month, you can check the Infragistics.Win.UltraWinSchedule.MonthViewMulti.VisibleMonth.IsAlternateMonth.

Example
The following code demonstrates how to set properties on and override UltraCalendarLook appearances.
