Setting colors for events

[Jazeel]

Hi,

We need to set different colors for different events based upon a status value (Approve/Reject) dynamically.
We tried the sample on your site. 

.Resources(resource =>
{
resource.Add(m => m.OwnerID)
.Title("Owner")
.DataTextField("Text")
.DataValueField("Value")
.DataColorField("Color")
.BindTo(new[] {
new { Text = "Alex", Value = 1, Color = "#f8a398" } ,
new { Text = "Bob", Value = 2, Color = "#51a0ed" } ,
new { Text = "Charlie", Value = 3, Color = "#56ca85" }
});
})

But our requirement is to load datasource for resource dynamically with StatusId and StatusColor.

Thanks,
Jazeel

Hello Jazeel,

Please note that the "Resources" of the Scheduler support configuring regular DataSource (the same way as the Scheduler) for loading data from remote source:

.Resources(resource =>
{
    resource.Add(m => m.OwnerID)
        .Title("Owner")
        .DataTextField("Text")
        .DataValueField("Value")
        .DataColorField("Color")
        .DataSource(ds => ds
            .Read("ReadOwners", "Home"));

Hi Vladimir,

Thanks it worked.

Is there any option to set the font color for events dynamically?
Is there any option to select date using javascript?

Thanks & Regards,
Jazeel

Hi Jazeel,

Straight to your questions:

1) You can define custom "EventTemplate" (using Kendo UI templates) to customize the look of the events.
2) If you need to change the date you can use the Scheduler "date" method:

• Scheduler: date method
