RadScheduler appointments are customized in three different ways:

Setting the BackColor property conditionally in the AppointmentDataBound event to distinguish appointments with status Completed. The AppointmentStyleMode property of the RadScheduler is set to Default to render appointments with rounded corners and gradient background.

Other related properties that you can set are - BorderColor, BorderStyle, BorderWidth, and CssClass .
Using ResourceStyleMapping to distinguish appointments based on the assigned resource.

<ResourceStyles> <telerik:ResourceStyleMapping Type="User" Key="1" BackColor="Yellow" /> </ResourceStyles>
Using AppointmentTemplate to display additional information about the appointment, such as a resource or description, with custom markup and styling. The appointment object is accessed declaratively like this:
```
                <%# Container.Appointment.[PropertyName]%>;
           
```
Nested controls in AppointmentTemplate can be accessed in AppointmentCreated. This event can be also used to dynamically add controls to the appointment.

The appointment object can be found in a server-side event handler of a nested control to allow you to directly interact with the appointment:
```
        SchedulerAppointmentContainer appContainer = (SchedulerAppointmentContainer)CompletedStatusCheckBox.Parent;
        Appointment appointment = appContainer.Appointment;
            
```

This demo provides an example of the RadScheduler control demonstrating how you can directly interact with the appointment object to change its status. To do so, you will need to click the checkbox in the appointment and see how its color changes. For more information you can also check the demo Description.
