While testing MonthCalendar controls, you can use specific properties and methods of the corresponding program object to perform certain actions and obtain data stored in controls. You can call these methods and properties from your keyword tests, as well as from scripts. This topic describes how to work with the needed properties and methods from your scripts. However, when testing a control from your keyword test, you can use the same methods and properties calling them from keyword test operations. For more information, see Keyword Tests Basic Operations.

MonthCalendar controls can support multi-selection of dates or not. To determine whether the MonthCalendar control supports multi-selection use the wMultiSelect property of the Win32MonthCalendar object which is automatically associated with MonthCalendar controls during the script run. This property returns True, if the month calendar control supports multi-selection. Otherwise - False.

The following example demonstrates how you can determine whether the MonthCalendar control supports multi-selection:

Python

VBScript

DelphiScript

C++Script, C#Script

JavaScript, JScript

function main()
{
  var MonthCalendar;

  // Obtain the DateTimePicker control
  MonthCalendar= Sys.Process("Project1").Window("TForm1", "Form1").Window("TMonthCalendar");

  // Determine whether the MonthCalendar control supports multi-selection
  Log.Message(MonthCalendar.wMultiSelect);
}

Python

def Main():
    
  # Obtain the DateTimePicker control
  MonthCalendar= Sys.Process("Project1").Window("TForm1", "Form1").Window("TMonthCalendar")
  
  # Determine whether the MonthCalendar control supports multi-selection
  Log.Message(MonthCalendar.wMultiSelect)

VBScript

Sub main
  Dim MonthCalendar

  ' Obtain the MonthCalendar control
  Set MonthCalendar= Sys.Process("Project1").Window("TForm1", "Form1").Window("TMonthCalendar")

  ' Determine whether the MonthCalendar control supports multi-selection
  Log.Message MonthCalendar.wMultiSelect
End Sub

DelphiScript

procedure main;
var MonthCalendar;
begin

  // Obtain the DateTimePicker control
  MonthCalendar:= Sys.Process('Project1').Window('TForm1', 'Form1').Window('TMonthCalendar');

  // Determine whether the MonthCalendar control supports multi-selection
  Log.Message(MonthCalendar.wMultiSelect);
end;

C++Script, C#Script

function main()
{
  var MonthCalendar;

  // Obtain the DateTimePicker control
  MonthCalendar= Sys["Process"]("Project1")["Window"]("TForm1", "Form1")["Window"]("TMonthCalendar");

  // Determine whether the MonthCalendar control supports multi-selection
  Log.Message(MonthCalendar["wMultiSelect"]);
}

If the MonthCalendar control supports multi-selection, you can set the range of dates using the wDate and wEndDate properties or SetSelection action (for more information, see Setting MonthCalendar Date).

To obtain the maximum number of days in the date range that can be selected in the MonthCalendar control use the wMaxDateRange property of the Win32MonthCalendar object (for detailed information, see Getting Maximum Date Range in MonthCalendar Controls topic).
