Gantt
- 2 minutes to read
The Gantt control (ASPxGantt) visualizes the task flow.
Features
Data-Bound Mode
You should bind the ASPxGantt control to a data source (TasksDataSourceID) to display task data. The control supports standard data source types including SqlDataSource, ObjectDataSource, XmlDataSource, AccessDataSource, and SiteMapDataSource.
Edit Tasks
The Gantt supports the following edit operations (GanttEditingSettings):
Resize and modify tasks.
Modify resources.
Add and remove dependencies between tasks and assignments.
Edit cell values within the Task List. The control saves changes on the server and updates the Gantt chart when cell values change.
The Gantt stores changes made by end users. It allows you to roll back the last change when necessary.
Column Types
You can add columns to the Task List to display different data types.
Scale Tasks
The Gantt control allows you to switch between display styles (ViewType) (Ten Minutes, Thirty Minutes, Hours, Days, Weeks, and Months) to change date intervals on a timescale. Hold the CTRL key and rotate your mouse’s scroll wheel to zoom.
Custom Work Time
You can specify work times, workdays, and holidays (WorkTimeRules).
Task Title Position
The control supports the following task title display types: hidden, within a task, and next to a task.
Validation
You can recalculate the duration and progress of parent tasks (EnableDependencyValidation), and validate relationships between all tasks (AutoUpdateParentTasks), when a task is modified.
Strip Lines
Use strip lines to highlight specific times (or time intervals) in the Gantt chart.
Toolbar
The toolbar (Visible) can display frequently used commands.
