By default when using the Win Scheduler List Editor List Editor Type when viewing your Events using the Scheduler Control, the colour of the Event will depend on the colour set up against your Event Type. It may be required for the colour of the Event within the listing to change depending on a custom field such as an Event Status. The code snippet below examples changing the Event colour depending on the value selected within a custom field against your Event, it needs to be implemented within a View Controller against the Module.Win project.
