Hi Brian,

Thank you for the follow up and sharing the approach you are currently using!

In the meantime, there is another option that comes to my mind which you can try - use Multiple selection mode of the Calendar and simulate Range selection. Subscribe to the ValueChanged event and get the lastly selected date. Use it as a starting point and add the desired count of dates to the SelectedDates collection. Now, by design, the Multiple selection will apply different styles to the selected dates compared to the Range selection. You can additionally handle the OnCellRender event to override that with some custom CSS.

Here is a runnable sample that demonstrates the described approach: https://blazorrepl.telerik.com/cQuzvKbO29J2Tbnt04.

Hello Brian,

In Blazor, value binding is wat actually tells the component to take the value of the corresponding field from the view-model and use it. So, either one-way or two-way binding should be used to get/set the component value.

You can indeed subscribe to the RangeStartChanged event of the Calendar which will fire when the user selects new start date. However, the issue in this case is that by current design the component expects user action, confirmation of the end date to close the selection. Before that, it will consider it is still in selection mode, as Kim mentioned in the opener post, and the selection cannot be programmatically closed.

I see you already voted for the feature. This is important as we keep track of the community demand in order to prioritize the upcoming enhancements. You may as well follow the post (in case you haven't) - thus you will be notified for status updates via email and you can easily keep track of the feature status.
