copied!<p>I had the same problem and found a workaround:</p> <p>It seems that the dimensions of the <code>MonthCalendar</code> control are updated correctly when it is shown (like in a form) in runtime.</p> <p>Use, e.g., the form's <code>Shown</code> event to know when the dimensions are updated.</p> <p>You can also set the form's <code>AutoSize</code> property to <code>true</code> and <code>AutoSizeMode</code> to <code>GrowAndShrink</code> to make the form automatically fit the <code>MonthCalendar</code> control.</p> <p>Update:</p> <p>For more details try this example:</p> <p>Put a MonthCalendar control on a form like this:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/eLW7f.jpg" alt="Form with MonthCalender control"></p> <p>In the <strong>form's</strong> Shown event add this:</p> <pre><code>public static int CalenderWidth = 0, CalenderHeight = 0; private void Form1_Shown(object sender, EventArgs e) { CalenderWidth = monthCalendar1.Width; CalenderHeight = monthCalendar1.Height; MessageBox.Show("MonthControl width: " + CalenderWidth.ToString() + ", height: " + CalenderHeight.ToString()); } </code></pre> <p>When the program is run you will see a messagebox showing the right dimensions. The Width and Height are also put into two variables you can use anywhere in your program (in a quick and dirty way, I know ;-) Of course you can omit the messagebox if you don't want it.</p> <p>To check it is really working try changing the Region settings in Windows: Change the Format to e.g. Danish. Run the program again and you will see the Width has gotten smaller because a Danish MonthCalender control is smaller.</p> <p>Regarding the <code>AutoSize</code>and <code>AutoSizeMode</code> properties they can be used to make the size of the form adapt to the size of the MonthCalender control. Do this: Change the two properties in the <strong>form</strong> into this:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/xYfbz.jpg" alt="Form's properties (Visual Studio)"></p> <p>Now run the program and you will see that the size of the form changes automatically depending of the size of the MonthCalender control:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/ibVIh.jpg" alt="Result"></p> <p>That's it! (remember to switch your Region format setting back to the original one)</p> <p>;-) Dave</p>
