How to add Action Buttons in the .NET MAUI Calendar (SfCalendar)?

In this article, we'll demonstrate how to add action buttons to the Syncfusion® .NET MAUI Calendar control by utilizing the ShowActionButtons property of the SfCalendar.

Add the Button control and the SfCalendar control in your layout. Set the ShowActionButtons property of the SfCalendar to True, as shown in the following code sample.

XAML

<Grid RowDefinitions="0.1*, 0.9*">
    <Button x:Name="SelectionModeButton"
            HorizontalOptions="Center"
            VerticalOptions="Center"
            Text="Single"
            Clicked="SelectionModeButton_Clicked"/>
    <calendar:SfCalendar Grid.Row="1"
                         x:Name="calendar"
                         ShowActionButtons="True" />
</Grid>

In the Button.Clicked event handler, toggle the SelectionMode to Single (or) Range.

C#

private void SelectionModeButton_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (this.calendar.SelectionMode == CalendarSelectionMode.Single)
    {
        this.calendar.SelectionMode = CalendarSelectionMode.Range;
        this.SelectionModeButton.Text = "Range";
    }
    else
    {
        this.calendar.SelectionMode = CalendarSelectionMode.Single;
        this.SelectionModeButton.Text = "Single";
    }
}
