end;

procedure TMyForm.dxGanttControl1ViewTimelineGetTaskColor(
  Sender: TdxGanttControlChartView; ATask: TdxGanttControlTask;
  var AColor: TColor);
begin
  // Checks if the inspected task exists and compares its date with the current date
  if (ATask <> nil) and (ATask.Finish < Now) then
    // Fills outdated tasks with the red color
    AColor := clRed;
end;

C++

{
void __fastcall TMyForm::FormCreate(TObject *Sender)
{ // Loads a chart from the specified XML file
  dxGanttControl1->LoadFromFile("C:/Users/Public/Documents/DevExpress VCL Demos/MegaDemos/Product Demos/ExpressGanttControl/Data/SoftwareDevelopment.xml");
}
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
void __fastcall TMyForm::dxGanttControl1ViewTimelineGetTaskColor(TdxGanttControlChartView *Sender,
          TdxGanttControlTask *ATask, TColor &AColor)
{
// Checks if the inspected task exists and compares its date with the current date
if (ATask != NULL && ATask->Finish < Now()) 
  {
      // Fills outdated tasks with the red color
      AColor = clRed;
  }
