The DisplayMode property allows you to select the format of the calendar, which can be a month, a year, or a decade. When you launch a basic calendar, by default, it shows the month view:
But a user can easily navigate from month to year to decade by clicking the header text of the Calendar control.
To change the display mode from code, you can set the DisplayMode property to Month, Year, or Decade:
<Calendar DisplayMode="Month" /> <!-- default mode --> <Calendar DisplayMode="Year" /> <Calendar DisplayMode="Decade" />
The user can initiate the downward transitions by clicking any of the calendar cells, and they can easily navigate from decade to year to month and select the correct date.
