I am trying to set the background color of an event in the calendar to a custom color. I am not using the 2007 theme. From the documentation, it appears that I could create new custom Calendar Label Event, and assign that event's Label Id to a Calendar Event. I tried this but it doesn't work. I suspect the calendar does not know about my new custom Label Event.
Where is what I have tried. How can I get my custom background color to work?
// First I declare a Calendar Events Label object.
CXTPCalenarEventLabels _calendarEventLabels;
// I initialize the calendar events label object to get the defaul labels
_calendarEventLabels.InitDefaultValues();
// I create a new label event
CXTPCalendarEventLabel * eventLabel = new CXTPCalendarEventLabel( newLabelID, newBackgroundColor, newLabelName );
// I add the new label event to the calendar events label object
_calendarEventLabels.Add( eventLabel );
// I create a calendar event
CXTPCalendarEventPtr calendarEvent = newCalendarEvent(...);
// I assign the new label id to calendar event
calendarEvent->SetLabelID( newLabelID );
// I add my event to my data provider
calendarData->AddEvent( calendarEvent );
// I call populate
Populate();

To answer my own question:
The CXTPCalendarData class provides an interface to define custom event labels called "SetLabelList(...)".

Hopefully, this is what you are looking for.
I have a class called CWin32Calendar. The class inherits from CXTPCalendarControl. In the class, I keep a copy of the labels
CXTPCalendarEventLabels _calendarEventLabels;
In the class constructor, I initialize _calendarEventLabels with the default labels by calling InitDefaultValues()
_calendarEventLabels.InitDefaultValues();
Later on, I add my own custom event labels to _calendarEventLabels.
For the calendar to know about my custom labels, I must update the event labels via the calendar's data provider. Here is the code I am using to update the data provider.
void CWin32Calendar::setCustomCalendarEventLabels()
{
// Are we using custom labels?
if ( _customEventLabels )
{
// Yes
// Now, get the data provider, make a copy of our label list
// and set the data providers label list, so the data provider
// knows about the custom labels.
CXTPCalendarData * calendarData = GetDataProvider();
if ( calendarData )
{
// We are going to make a copy of our local list of event labels
CXTPCalendarEventLabels * copyCalendarEventLabels
= new CXTPCalendarEventLabels();
if ( copyCalendarEventLabels )
{
// Go through our local copy of the labels,
// and make a copy
int labelCount = _calendarEventLabels.GetCount();
for ( int i=0; i < labelCount; i++ )
{
CXTPCalendarEventLabel * eventLabel =
_calendarEventLabels.Find( i );
if ( eventLabel )
{
// Copy label
CXTPCalendarEventLabel * copyEventLabel = new
CXTPCalendarEventLabel( eventLabel->m_nLabelID,
eventLabel->m_clrColor,
eventLabel->m_strName );
if ( copyEventLabel )
{
// Add the event lable copy to the event label list.
copyCalendarEventLabels->InsertAt( i,
copyEventLabel );
}
else
{
ASSERT( FALSE );
}
}
else
{
ASSERT( FALSE );
}
}
// Update the data provider with the event label copy
calendarData->SetLabelList( copyCalendarEventLabels );
}
}
else
{
ASSERT( FALSE );
}
}
}

Concerning setting the Event Text Color, I was never able to get it to work.
Sorry.
