How to change kendo ui scheduler event color programmatically

[Lilan]

Hi, I want to change kendo ui scheduler event color programmatically based on a logic. please find the sample implementation in below. 

http://dojo.telerik.com/@lilan123/UPuDE/4

 

What I want is when I click on create button I want to add events and every event should have a different color. i tried to create the event as below adding color option but it doesn't work that way. 

 //Code 

attendees: '1',
start: new Date("2015/6/8"),
end: new Date("2015/6/8"),
title: "Off Day",
isAllDay: true,
color:'#0055A7'

Thanks 

Lilan

Hello Lilan,

One possible solution is to apply the background color to the appointment as for example it is explained in this help topic. 

Hope this will help you solve the issue.

@Plamen the help topic code does not work for events shown on a view that are created from a recurrence. The logic loops events and there is 1 event for the recurrence but there may be several rendered events with their own uid's in the view generated from it... how can we tap into those dynamically generated events using the recurrence event when the scheduler is databound?

Hello,

You can use dataItems collection of events as for example it is done in this dojo.

Thank you @Plamen - using the dataItems collection worked like a charm.
