10935 : How can I configure the gantt visualization to make it more attractive?

Question

How can I configure the gantt visualization to make it more attractive? For example Xtracharts , there default GUI look so attractive (but they dont support full Gantt function like yours) Is there any way to configure it colorfull like that?

Answer

The abilities to change the look of the GTP.NET are endless.

To Start with TimeItems:
To fill the time item we offer some styles out of the box with gradient behavior ;by setting properties like Color, GradientColor, FrameColor, BrushKind (Important!) and TimeItemStyle to Modern1, Pipe or Glossy you can do very much with little effort.< ?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

And if that is not enough you implement UserDrawn time items.

To do the background we also offer UserDraw events like  OnTimeItemAreaPaintBackground. Combined with methods like TimeToPixel you can do time dependent backgrounds any way you need.
