Is it possible to have a GridRow automatically resize itself by adjusting its height based on the biggest TimeItemText one of its TimeItem contains. Right now, the text is not always completely visible. If not is there a way to do this programmatically and how.

Question

This is currently not possible any easy way… Good point though…

I guess you could calculate the needed space for the time item texts by rendering them offscreen, and then adjust the row height to make sure they fit, but I cannot not help you with a sample at this time; sorry…

Question

Hello guys. Is it possible to show root lines in the grid (I mean dotted line from root item to its child)? Thanks.

Answer

Ehh… We actually never implemented that in GTP.NET…. So no. Sorry… (If you want it bad enough you can create a custom cell and draw one cells tree-line-part). I will put it on the list for things to do. Thanks.

Question

Property GridColumn.Type = TimeDate allows to show DateTime value as date or as time, but is necessary for me both simultaneously. How can I show DateTime value in a GridCell in a custom format?

Question

Your GridStructure-Object has a private ArrayList edCells (I found it in debugger). This would be an easy way to iterate through all ed cells of a grid.

Why is this usefull list private and how can I step through all ed cells?

Answer

I honestly do not know… we will make it public…

Question

Im using PlexityHide GTP.NET.WEB.
I face an issue on Paging.
For example, i set the page size= 5.
My total record to show in the grid is 10 rows of records.

The result expected is 2 pages with 5 rows record per page.
But i get the 3 pages record with
1 page – 5 records
2 page – 5 records ( the 1st record from Page 2 is duplicate from the 5th record from the 1st page)
3 page – 1 records

i try to change the page size to 10.
the result is 2 pages.
1 page – 10 records.
2 page – 1 rec

Yes, confirmed. This was a bug in the Gantt_ASP class. It is now fixed (2.2.1.0) and can be dowloaded from here: https://plexityhide.com/pub/PlexityHide.GTP.zip
https://plexityhide.com/pub/PlexityHide.GTP.WEB.zip

NOTE this is for CLR 1.1; for CLR 2.0 (VisualStudio 2005):

Question

In GTP.NET by specifying Gantt.today=true draws a dotted line at DateTime.Now is it possible to draw such a dotted line as any other user specified dateTime other than at now

Answer

Implement the OnTimeItemAreaPaintBackground event, here you are free to draw anything you want. Then use the Gantt.DateScaler.TimeToPixel to turn your specific date into a pixel value… Remember to check the ScheduleMode property to decide if you should draw a horizontal or vertical line

Question

Is there a possibility to make the today line appear in a different colour. A gantt chart is nothing if you dont see where today is directly. Please help me out I want to give a presentation whith our product and this functionality is very imortant. TIA

Answer

Currently a property to control the color of the today line is not exposed, partly because it is so very easy to draw your own things in the gantt background just by implementing the OnTimeItemAreaPaintBackground event…

New 0611: New property on the Gantt.TodayLineColor…. Download latest patch.

This is how the current today line is implemented (Add this code like this in the OnTimeItemAreaPaintBackground and elaborate):

      if (TodayLine)
      {
        if (DateScaler.StartTime<DateTime.Now && DateScaler.StopTime>DateTime.Now)
        {
          HatchBrush hatchBrush=new HatchBrush(HatchStyle.Percent50,Color.Black,TimeItemArea.BackColor);
          Pen pen=new Pen(hatchBrush,1);
          int x=DateScaler.TimeToPixel(DateTime.Now);
          if (TimeItemArea.FlipView)
            G.DrawLine(pen,TimeItemArea.CalcLeft,x,TimeItemArea.CalcWidth,x);
          else
            G.DrawLine(pen,x,TimeItemArea.CalcTop,x,TimeItemArea.CalcBottom);
        }
      
      
      }
