A divider item uses the item's client area to display a single cell. The ItemDivider property specifies the index of the cell being displayed. In other words, the divider item merges the item cells into a single cell. Use the ItemDividerLine property to define the line that underlines the divider item. Use the LockedItemCount property to lock items on the top or bottom side of the control. Use the MergeCells method to combine two or multiple cells in a single cell. Use the SelectableItem property to specify the user can select an item. A divider item has sense for a control with multiple columns. 

The following VB sample adds a divider item that's locked to the top side of the control ( Before running this sample please make sure that your control has columns ):

With Gantt1
    .BeginUpdate
    .DrawGridLines = exNoLines
    With .Items
        .LockedItemCount(TopAlignment) = 1
        Dim h As HITEM
        h = .LockedItem(TopAlignment, 0)
        .ItemDivider(h) = 0
        .ItemHeight(h) = 22
        .CellCaption(h, 0) = "<b>Total</b>: $12.344.233"
        .CellCaptionFormat(h, 0) = exHTML
        .CellHAlignment(h, 0) = RightAlignment
    End With
    .EndUpdate
End With

The following C++ sample adds a divider item, that's not selectable too:

#include "Items.h"
CItems items = m_gantt.GetItems();
long i = items.AddItem( COleVariant("divider item") );
items.SetItemDivider( i, 0 );
items.SetSelectableItem( i, FALSE );

The following C# sample adds a divider item, that's not selectable too:

int i = axGantt1.Items.AddItem("divider item");
axGantt1.Items.set_ItemDivider(i, 0);
axGantt1.Items.set_SelectableItem(i, false);

The following VB.NET sample adds a divider item, that's not selectable too:

With AxGantt1.Items
    Dim i As Integer
    i = .AddItem("divider item")
    .ItemDivider(i) = 0
    .SelectableItem(i) = False
End With

The following VFP sample adds a divider item, that's not selectable too:

with thisform.Gantt1.Items
	.DefaultItem = .AddItem("divider item")
	.ItemDivider(0) = 0
	.SelectableItem(0) = .f.
