How can I determine which date the mouse is over in a WPF Calendar control?

I have a Calendar control in my WPF app. I want to display a message based on whichever date the user hovers the mouse over.

I think that the Calendar control uses a button for each date, and that button has its DataContext set to a DateTime object.

But how can I use the MouseMove event of the calendar to see which date the mouse is currently over?

You can use Mouse.DirectlyOver to get the element directly under your mouse, and then find the date via:

calendar.MouseMove += (s, e) =>
{
    if (Mouse.DirectlyOver is FrameworkElement el && 
        el.TemplatedParent is CalendarDayButton button && 
        el.DataContext is DateTime date)
    {
        // do stuff with `date`...
    }
};
