Read the previous parts of the series here,
DatePicker This control is used to select only the date . Properties
Date property By default this property has today's date, we can assign the default date if it is required . Minimum Date and Maximum Date This property is a validation property to set the minimum and maximum date of the calendar. If this property has been set, the control displays the date only based on the Minimum & Maximum date. Other dates are hidden and set the minimum date; the calendar Date property gets overwritten. Date Selected event This is the event trigger when the date has been selected in the calendar control. Example Example Minimum & Maximum Date validation. Click the “Right Symbol” button, and the Date Selected event gets fired. Time Picker Time Picker is the control used to select the time and there is no specific event to trigger when the time has been selected by the user; to handle this situation either use Property Changed or Property Changing event. Example Click the Done button; the OnPropertyChanged event is fired. Activity Indicator This control is used to display ongoing tasks in the progress state (loading state). Properties Is Running If true animation will start, and if false it will stop. Note If UWP program IsRunning property is not working (Known issue: Microsoft will fix this issue) a workaround to use is the IsVisible property. Example
