How to Handle Long Press Callback on Date Selection in the .NET MAUI Calendar (SfCalendar)?

3 mins read

In the Syncfusion® .NET MAUI Calendar control, you can handle the long press callback on date selection using the LongPressed event of the SfCalendar.

 

Step 1: Add the SfCalendar control to your layout, as shown in the following code sample.

 

XAML

<calendar:SfCalendar x:Name="calendar">
    <calendar:SfCalendar.Behaviors>
        <local:CalendarBehavior />
    </calendar:SfCalendar.Behaviors>
</calendar:SfCalendar>

 

Step 2: Implement the LongPressed event in the CalendarBehavior class, as demonstrated in the following C# code sample:

 

C#

public class CalendarBehavior : Behavior<SfCalendar>
{
    private SfCalendar calendar;
 
    protected override void OnAttachedTo(SfCalendar bindable)
    {
        base.OnAttachedTo(bindable);
        this.calendar = bindable;
        this.calendar.LongPressed += Calendar_LongPressed;
    }
 
    private void Calendar_LongPressed(object sender, CalendarLongPressedEventArgs e)
    {
        App.Current.MainPage.DisplayAlert("DateCellHold Response", "DateCell " + e.Date.Day + " has been long pressed", "Ok");
    }
 
    protected override void OnDetachingFrom(SfCalendar bindable)
    {
        base.OnDetachingFrom(bindable);
        if (this.calendar != null)
        {
            this.calendar.LongPressed -= Calendar_LongPressed;
        }
 
        this.calendar = null;
    }
}
