The JXMonthView can be configured to display more than one calendar at a time by calling setPreferredCalCols/ setPreferredCalRows. These methods will set the preferred number of calendars to use in each column/row. As these values change, the Dimension returned from getMinimumSize and getPreferredSize will be updated. The following example shows how to create a 2x2 view which is contained within a JFrame:

 JXMonthView monthView = new JXMonthView();
 monthView.setPreferredCols(2);
 monthView.setPreferredRows(2);
 JFrame frame = new JFrame();
 frame.getContentPane().add(monthView);
 frame.pack();
 frame.setVisible(true);
 

JXMonthView can be further configured to allow any day of the week to be considered the first day of the week. Character representation of those days may also be set by providing an array of strings.

 monthView.setFirstDayOfWeek(Calendar.MONDAY);
 monthView.setDaysOfTheWeek(new String[] { "S", "M", "T", "W", "R", "F", "S" });
 

This component supports flagging days. These flagged days, which must be provided in sorted order, are displayed in a bold font. This can be used to inform the user of such things as scheduled appointment.

 // Create some dates that we want to flag as being important.
 Calendar cal1 = Calendar.getInstance();
 cal1.set(2004, 1, 1);
 Calendar cal2 = Calendar.getInstance();
 cal2.set(2004, 1, 5);
 long[] flaggedDates = new long[] { cal1.getTimeInMillis(),
 cal2.getTimeInMillis(), System.currentTimeMillis() };
 // Sort them in ascending order.
 java.util.Arrays.sort(flaggedDates);
 monthView.setFlaggedDates(flaggedDates);
 

 // Change the selection mode to select full weeks.
 monthView.setSelectionMode(JXMonthView.WEEK_SELECTION);
 // Add an action listener that will be notified when the user
 // changes selection via the mouse.
 monthView.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
 public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
 System.out.println(((JXMonthView) e.getSource()).getSelectedDateSpan());
 }
 });
 

The ActionListener will receive an ActionEvent when a selection has been made.
Parameters:
  l - The ActionListener that is to be notified

As the border may modify the bounds of the component, setting the border may result in a reduced number of displayed calendars.
Parameters:
  border - Border.

At construction time, a component's orientation is set to ComponentOrientation.UNKNOWN, indicating that it has not been specified explicitly. The UNKNOWN orientation behaves the same as ComponentOrientation.LEFT_TO_RIGHT.
Parameters:
  o - The component orientation.
