The UltraDateTimeEditor uses a .NET MonthCalendar in its dropdown portion, so theoretically it should also provide all the features that the MonthCalendar does.  I didn't see anything exposed that lets you access the MonthlyBoldedDates collection that's on MonthCalendar, though.  What you can do is use reflection to get the calendar used in the dropdown and set those dates yourself, i.e.:

 private void ultraDateTimeEditor1_AfterDropDown(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    DateTimeEditor editor = (DateTimeEditor)this.ultraDateTimeEditor1.Editor;
    PropertyInfo info = typeof(DateTimeEditor).GetProperty("MonthDropDown", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);
    MonthDropDown dd = info.GetValue(editor, null) as MonthDropDown;
    if (dd != null)
        dd.MonthlyBoldedDates = new DateTime[ { DateTime.Now.AddDays(-1) };
}

Note that you have to do this in the AfterDropDown because the control disposes the calendar between dropdown operations.  You can use the MonthlyBoldedDates, BoldedDates, or AnnuallyBoldedDates as necessary.

As for painting different dates different colors, I don't think this is possible with the .NET control, so I don't see any way to do it with the UltraDateTimeEditor either.

What do you mean about "Can you disable dates after today to pick up"?  If you mean prevent users from selecting any date past today, you could simply set the MaxDate on the control.

If you're using the AfterDropDown event handler, then I'm not sure why it's not working for you.  You could try submitting an incident to Developer Support, but it's not always 100% that something like this would work due to the nature of reflection and the possibility of internal code to change, as this is not a supported feature.
