Thank you.

The final answer is that I can't do what I want to do the way I want to do it because the methods are internal.

We want to remove the DateHeaderArea from our monthly calendar printouts to save space so we can get fit as many appointments as possible on the print out.

I wrote my own work around to get the data I want into the custom header. We have a daily, weekly, and monthly view and have variables to tell us which mode the calendar is in prior to printing.

if ( _isDayViewLoaded )
{
_headerTextForPrinting += uCalDay.VisibleDays[0].Date.ToShortDateString();
}
else if ( _isWeekViewLoaded )
{
_headerTextForPrinting += uCalWeek.FirstVisibleDay.Date.ToShortDateString() + " - " + uCalWeek.FirstVisibleDay.Date.AddDays( 6 ).ToShortDateString();
}
else if ( _isMonthViewLoaded )
{
_headerTextForPrinting += calendarInfo.ActiveDay.Date.ToString( "MMMM yyyy" );
}

ultraSchedulePrintDocument1.Header.TextLeft = _headerTextForPrinting

Hello Anthony,

There is no easy way to get the DateHeaderArea text. What we are doing internally is next. UltraSchedulePrintDocument has private property PrintManager. Depending on the PrintStyle PrintManager creates internally date header info of type DateHeaderInfoDaily, or DateHeaderInfoWeekly, or DateHeaderInfoMonthly and etc. The text you are looking for is in DateCaption internal property of date header info class. As all of these are private/internal properties you cannot get the string you need, but from a lot of reflection. One more thing. If you set IncludeDateHeaderArea to false date header is not created at all. As a result DateCaption, the property which contains the text you need, is not populated.

To summarize – if you need to show what DateHeaderArea would show you should set IncludeDateHeaderArea to true. As long as you do this, and you need to change the content of DateHeaderArea you should implement a custom Creation Filter.

In the sample I had sent you I showed you how to achieve this. Therefore, please let me know why this approach is not working in your scenario?

Thank you, this is pretty close to what I was looking for.

My final question would be is there any way to extract the DateHeaderArea text so that I could use it in the custom header.

So where you have:

ultraSchedulePrintDocument1.Header.TextLeft = "SOME CUSTOM TEXT"

I could do something like:

ultraSchedulePrintDocument1.Header.TextLeft = "SOME CUSTOM TEXT " +  dateHeaderAreaDateElement.Text
