Hi, Is there a way of binding the background color of individual cells in the calendar component? I.e I’d like to change the color or icon of a calendar cell depending on if there was a record created for that day (I have a report that requires manual input). I can easily bind the foreground color of the selected or latched date using a ‘SELECT COUNT’ style statement but am not sure about how to do the non-selected cells. Thoughts on how to do this? Regards Alex ---

There is no way to do that currently, unfortunately. Perhaps you could add an event for each of the days that have a record, call it something like “record created”, and give the text a certain displayColor. ---
