I was unable to display TimeItemText’s Text as tooltip text in OnTimeItem_Hoover Event.

Is there way to show this ??

Thank you.

————— My code following that —————– private void gantt1_OnTimeItem_Hoover(PlexityHide.GTP.Gantt aGantt, PlexityHide.GTP.TimeItemEventArgs e) {

string newTooltipText=””;

if (e.TimeItem!=null) {

newTooltipText= ???????? ;

}

}

Answer

You can reach the time item texts like this:

e.TimeItem.TimeItemText[thezerobasedindexofthetext].Text

When I drop part of a timeitem at a holiday, I would like the timeitem to split (half before the holiday and half after the holiday) and join the two timeitems with an arrow. Can I just destroy the timeitem object and redraw it? Or is there a better way to achieve this?

Answer

There is no auto-split as you describe it. If it was me doing this I would probably do a Userdrawn time item that was drawn as two boxes with the line between them (hence I would not need to split it, just check where the holidays start and stop).

If you want to split it you can simply delete it and create two new ones; or one new and change the first…

Answer

This happens on unbinded sort, if you have data from a datasource via databind the sorting comes from the datasource. But in your case you can implement your own comparer:

Add the event in form load:
gantt1.Grid.OnUnBindedSort+=new UnBindedSortHandler(Grid_OnUnBindedSort);
// Implement it like this
private void Grid_OnUnBindedSort(Grid aGrid, UnBindedSortArgs e)
{
  e.aListToSort.Sort(0,e.aListToSort.Count,new MyComparer(e.descending,e.aColumn));
}

The MyComparer could look like this (this is really a good thing, you can compare anyway you want):

    class MyComparer: IComparer
    {

      private GridColumn fColumn;
      private bool fdescending;
      public MyComparer(bool descending,GridColumn aColumn)
      {
        fdescending=descending;
        fColumn=aColumn;
      }

      #region IComparer Members

      public int Compare(object x, object y)
      {
        int xint=0;
        int yint=0;
       
        if (y is GridNode)
          yint=int.Parse((y as GridNode).GetCell(fColumn.Index).Content.Value.ToString());
        if (x is GridNode)
          xint=int.Parse((x as GridNode).GetCell(fColumn.Index).Content.Value.ToString());

      
        if (fdescending)
          return xint-yint;
        else
          return yint-xint;
      }

Question

is it possible to change the backcolor of the Holyday (saturday and sunday) that automatically have a different color?

Answer

In GTP.NET you can solve this in a number of ways:

#1 Use the

VerticalDayStripes  Vertical stripes on certain days 
VerticalDayStripes_Days  VerticalDayStripes set to true, this property then chooses the days, sat and sun default 

#2 draw time dependent stuff in the background; as shown in this article: http://plexityhide.dyndns.org/InstantKB13/Article.aspx?id=10066

#3 Override the text output in the datescaler like this:

    private void dateScaler1_OnDateScalerDrawString(PlexityHide.GTP.DateScaler dateScaler, PlexityHide.GTP.DateScalerDrawStringEventArgs e)
    {
      if (checkBoxRedSun.Checked)
      {
        // If you want to customize the way the date scaler draws its strings, you can...
        if (e.DateTime.DayOfWeek==DayOfWeek.Sunday )
        {
          if ((!e.LongIntervall && e.Resolution==NonLinearTime.TimeResolution.days) ||
              (e.LongIntervall && (e.Resolution==NonLinearTime.TimeResolution.hours6 || e.Resolution==NonLinearTime.TimeResolution.hours3 || e.Resolution==NonLinearTime.TimeResolution.hours)))
          {
            e.Brush=new SolidBrush(Color.Red);
            e.Font=new Font("Arial", 10,FontStyle.Bold);
            // In this case we only change the font and let the standard drawing continue, but you can just as easily completly override the default string. Just return e.ContinueDraw=FALSE;
            e.ContinueDraw=true;
          }
        
        }
      }
      
      if (checkBoxMyOwnWeekPres.Checked)
      {
        // If you want to customize the way the date scaler draws its strings, you can...
          if ((e.LongIntervall && e.Resolution==NonLinearTime.TimeResolution.days) && (!dateScaler1.UseDayNumbersNotWeeks))
          {
            // In this case we override the long intervall presentation when the resolution of the lower is Days ;
            e.OutputText=e.DateTime.ToString("MMdd")+" - "+e.DateTime.AddDays(6).ToString("MMdd");
            e.ContinueDraw=true;
          }
        
      }

    }

Question

I have Collision turned on (True) so now in 1 node I have some timeitems, and in some nodes they are at the same time, so I timeitem is put below an other.

Can I change the node/rows height when filling the Gantt or even better can I let the user change the height of the row/node so he can see better the colliding timeitems in one row/node?

Answer

There are new properties in the latest service release:

GanttRow.IncreaseRowHeightOnCollision
GanttRow.IncreaseRow_SuggestedHeightPerItem

If you set these the rows will adapt on collisions. Pretty cool?
