    TimeLineAppointmentViewInfo tlvi = e.ObjectInfo as TimeLineAppointmentViewInfo;
    // This code works only for the Timeline View.
    if(tlvi != null) {
        Rectangle r = e.Bounds;
        r.Offset(3, 3);
        string[] s = tlvi.Appointment.Subject.Split(' ');

        for(int i = 0; i < s.Length; i++) {
            using(var foreBrush = new SolidBrush(colorArray[i]))
                e.Cache.DrawString(s[i], tlvi.Appearance.Font, foreBrush,
r, StringFormat.GenericDefault);
            SizeF shift = e.Cache.CalcTextSize(s[i] + " ", tlvi.Appearance.Font);
            r.X += (int)shift.Width;
        }
        e.Handled = true;
