jQuery Calendar Multiple Selection

The Kendo UI for jQuery Calendar enables you to select dates.

The selection functionality of the Calendar component supports the following options:

• Multiple selection—To select dates, the user utilizes the Ctrl key.
• Range selection—To select ranges of dates, the user can select start and end dates.
• Week selection—Represents a range selection for a specific week.

This demo shows how to select multiple days in the Calendar by using the selectable property.

The Ctrl key allows the user to perform multiple selection:

• Ctrl + mouse click on a specific date will mark the date as selected. Other previously selected dates will remain selected as well.
• Selecting a date from a specific view without using the Ctrl key will deselect all previously selected dates (including previously selected dates from other views or months), and select the date of the clicked cell.
• Selecting a date that is already selected while holding the Ctrl key will remove the date from the selection.

The Shift key allows the user to select a range of dates in the same month or between different months:

• Shift + mouse click selects all dates between the last selected one (with Space or mouse click) and the clicked cell when the selectable property is set to "multiple".
• When there is no previous selection, Shift + mouse click will select all dates from the beginning to the clicked cell.

When the user clicks on a specific week number, the Calendar selects the entire week.
