If the ItemChild property gets 0, the item has no child items. Use this property to get the first child of an item. NextVisibleItem or NextSiblingItem to get the next visible, sibling item. The control displays a +/- sign to parent items, if the HasButtons property is not zero, the ItemChild property is not empty, or the ItemHasChildren property is True.

The following VB function recursively enumerates the item and all its child items:

Sub RecItem(ByVal c As EXGANTTLibCtl.Gantt, ByVal h As HITEM)
    If Not (h = 0) Then
        Dim hChild As HITEM
        With c.Items
            Debug.Print .CellCaption(h, 0)
            hChild = .ItemChild(h)
            While Not (hChild = 0)
                RecItem c, hChild
                hChild = .NextSiblingItem(hChild)
            Wend
        End With
    End If
End Sub

The following C++ function recursively enumerates the item and all its child items:

void RecItem( CGantt* pGantt, long hItem )
{
	COleVariant vtColumn( (long)0 );
	if ( hItem )
	{
		CItems items = pGantt->GetItems();

		CString strCaption = V2S( &items.GetCellCaption( COleVariant( hItem ), vtColumn ) ), strOutput;
		strOutput.Format( "Cell: '%s'\n", strCaption );
		OutputDebugString( strOutput );

		long hChild = items.GetItemChild( hItem );
		while ( hChild )
		{
			RecItem( pGantt, hChild );
			hChild = items.GetNextSiblingItem( hChild );
		}
	}
}

The following VB.NET function recursively enumerates the item and all its child items:

Shared Sub RecItem(ByVal c As AxEXGANTTLib.AxGantt, ByVal h As Integer)
    If Not (h = 0) Then
        Dim hChild As Integer
        With c.Items
            Debug.WriteLine(.CellCaption(h, 0))
            hChild = .ItemChild(h)
            While Not (hChild = 0)
                RecItem(c, hChild)
                hChild = .NextSiblingItem(hChild)
            End While
        End With
    End If
End Sub

The following C# function recursively enumerates the item and all its child items:

internal void RecItem(AxEXGANTTLib.AxGantt gantt, int hItem)
{
	if (hItem != 0)
	{
		EXGANTTLib.Items items = gantt.Items;
		object caption = items.get_CellCaption( hItem, 0 );
		System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(caption != null ? caption.ToString() : "");

		int hChild = items.get_ItemChild(hItem);
		while (hChild != 0)
		{
			RecItem(gantt, hChild);
			hChild = items.get_NextSiblingItem(hChild);
		}
	}
}

The following VFP function recursively enumerates the item and all its child items ( recitem method ):

LPARAMETERS h

with thisform.Gantt1
    If ( h != 0 ) Then
        local hChild
        With .Items
        	.DefaultItem = h
            wait window .CellCaption(0, 0)
            hChild = .ItemChild(h)
            do While (hChild != 0)
                thisform.recitem(hChild)
                hChild = .NextSiblingItem(hChild)
            enddo
        EndWith
    EndIf
endwith
