The Gantt.ColumnsFloatBarVisibleEnum type indicates the type of columns, the columns floatbar can display. The ColumnsFloatBarVisible property shows or hides the control's floatbar. The floatbar displays the header of each sorted/grouped-columns. The floatbar can be shown as docked to the right side of the control, or as floated over the control. The floatbar can display groupable columns, hidden columns, or a check-box for each column to show/hide the column. The ColumnsFloatBarSortOrder property specifies the sort order to show the columns within the columns float bar.

Each ColumnsFloatBarVisibleEnum property can be specified in one of the following ways:

• A numeric value.

The exMatchIncludeParent flag specifies that the item matches the filter if any of its parent-item matches the filter. The exMatchIncludeParent flag can be combined with any other value. For instance, exMatchIncludeParent | exMatchingItemsOnly displays only the items that match the filter including the child-items as well.

Each FilterIncludeEnum property can be specified in one of the following ways:

• A numeric value.

The Gantt.HistogramCumulativeOriginalColorBarsEnum type indicates whether the color for the bars being represented in the histogram is changed. The HistogramCumulativeOriginalColorBars property specifies whether the original bar's color is changed accordingly to the cumulative histogram. The exShowCumulativeColor option specifies that the color for bar is not changed, but its reflection in the histogram shows the corresponding cumulative color. The exChangeColor option specifies that the color for bar and its reflection in the histogram is showing the corresponding cumulative color.

The Gantt.HistogramTypeEnum type specifies the types of the histogram that currently the control supports. The HistogramType property gets or sets the type of the bar's histogram. The type of the bar's histogram defines how the bar's effort is represented into the control's histogram. For instance, the exHistOverload type shows the overloads and subloads of your current planning situation. The histogram-graph shows the count of specified tasks day by day, or unit by unit, while the exHistOverAllocation type shows in percents, the over-allocations of your current planning situation using the effort of the task divided by the length of the task (effort/length). The exHistOverAllocation flag can be combined with exHistOverAllocationFixed or exHistOverAllocationMultiply. The work-load for a task is computed as exBarEffort / length of the bar. The work-load for the task is the work effort / task duration. (i.e. If item.exBarEffort = 1 and bar's length is 10 days, then the work-load = 0.1 or 10%). The histogram- graph shows the sum of the work-loads (the work-load of each task item is added, unit by unit).

You can combine multiple values to show the histogram for multiple types of items. For instance, you can combine exHistogramSelectedItems with exHistogramCheckedItems to show the histogram for both selected and checked items.

Each HistogramViewEnum property can be specified in one of the following ways:

• A numeric value.
• A single enumeration constant.
• A combination of one or more enumeration constants, separated by the | operator.

The ValueToItemBarKey property indicates the key of the bars whose property is shown in the column. The valueToItemBarProperty/valueToItemBarKey defines a relation/association between a specified property bar and the value of the cell within the column. In other words, this property gets or sets the property of the bar that is shown in the column's cells. For instance, you can have a column that displays the start date of the bars with "start" value, or a column that displays the effort of the bars with "effort" value.

Each ItemBarPropertyEnum property can be specified in one of the following ways:

• A numeric value.
• A single enumeration constant.
• A case-insensitive partial string containing a name that matches the enumeration constant.

For instance, the string "name" is equivalent to the numeric value 0, or to the enumeration constant exBarName

The Gantt.LevelLineEnum type specifies the style of lines to shown within the chart's levels. The DrawLevelSeparator property shows or hides lines between chart's levels (header). The DrawTickLines property shows or hides the tick lines for the current level (the tick lines are shown in the header section only). The tick lines are drawn based on the level's time-units.

The exOverlaidBarsStack value specifies that the bars that covers each other are shown as a stack, while the exOverlaidBarsCascade value specifies that the bars gets arranged as a cascade with the z-order being indicated by ItemBar(exBarOverlaidCascade) key. The exOverlaidBarsTransparent value specifies that the overlaid portion is shown using a semi-transparent color. The exOverlaidBarsStackAutoArrange flag can be combined with exOverlaidBarsStack flag only, and it specifies that the overlaid stack is automatically arranged for best fit in the item. The exOverlaidBarsIncludeCaption flag specifies that the overlaid mechanism includes the caption for bars, while the exOverlaidBarsStrict flag specifies that the overlaid mechanism includes only bars in the same group ( OverlaidGroup property ) but of different types.

The Gantt.PutResEnum type defines the operations for loading resources from source controls and saving them to target controls. The PutRes() method performs the loading/saving of resources between controls. The exPutResLoad value specifies that the resources of all bars should be loaded from another control (synchronizes the resources from the source control to the target control), while the exPutResSave value specifies that the resources of all bars should be saved to another control (syncronizes the resources from the target control back to the source control).

Each PutResEnum property can be specified in one of the following ways:

• A case-insensitive partial string containing one or more comma-separated names that match the enumeration constants.

For instance, the string "Numeric,ByValue" is equivalent to the numeric value 17, or to the combination of enumeration constants exSortNumeric | exSortByValue.

The type field holds the full name of the object, since constructor.name can differ in minimized or obfuscated code. This field is never altered by the control itself, so it can be reliably used to verify the object's type. It is particularly useful when multiple versions of a control exist or when you need to check the type without depending on constructor.name, which may be inconsistent in some scenarios, such as minified code. The Gantt.type member always returns "Gantt"

console.log(exontrol.Gantt.type); // logs "Gantt"

The version field defines the version of the control. Each release of the control has a different version number, so you can use this field to check the control's version and ensure that it supports the features you want to use. The version field is especially useful when you have multiple versions of the control, or when you want to check the version of the control without relying on other properties or methods that may differ between versions. The current version is 5.2

console.log(exontrol.Gantt.version); // displays the version of the control, for instance "5.2"

The DefCBCap field defines the bar's caption to show within the label of the excombobox/js control. The DefCBCap field is similar with the item-bar's caption option (exBarCaption).

The DefCBCap supports exHTML format, including the <%=formula%> tag, where formula is an expression that supports predefined constants, operators and % keywords such as %0 (itembar's property), %C0 (cell's value), %CD0 (cell's extra-data) or %CS0 (cell' checkbox-state)

The expression supports the following keywords:

%0, %1, %2, ... specifies the value/option of the item-bar as name, start, end and so on (ItemBarPropertyEnum type)
%C0, %C1, %C2, ... {string} specifies the caption of the cell, or the string the cell displays in the column with the index 0, 1 2, ... ( "%C0 + %C1", concatenates the caption of first and second cell )
%CD0, %CD1, %CD2, ... {any} specifies the cell's user-date in the column with the index 0, 1 2, ... ( "%CD0 ? value : ``", displays the cell's value only if the cell's data is not empty )
%CS0, %CS1, %CS2, ... {number} specifies the cell's state in the column with the index 0, 1 2, ... ( "(%CS0 ? `<b>` : ``) + value", displays the cell's value in bold only if the first cell is checked )
%CT0, %CT1, %CT2, ... {boolean} returns true if the cell displays a total field; otherwise, it returns false. The exTotalField / exTotalColumn flag specifies whether the cell displays a total field. For instance, "%CT1" refers to all cells in the second column that display totals, while "not %CT1" refers to all cells in the second column that do not display totals (@since 3.3)
%CE0, %CE1, %CE2, ... {boolean} returns true if the cell is editable; otherwise, it returns false.. For example, "%CE0" refers to all editable cells in the first column, while "not %CE1" refers to all cells in the second column that are read-only (@since 3.3)
%CC0, %CC1, %CC2, ... {number} retrieve the number of child items (this keyword consistently returns identical results for all cells since it pertains to the item that hosts each cell). The ChildCount property returns the number of child items. For example, "%CC0" identifies all parent items, while "%CC0 = 0" identifies all leaf items (@since 3.3)
%CX0, %CX1, %CX2, ... {boolean} returns true if the item hosting the cell is expanded, or false if it is collapsed (this keyword consistently returns identical results for all cells since it pertains to the item that hosts each cell). The Item.Expanded property specifically indicates whether the item is expanded or collapsed. For example, "%CX0" refers to all expanded items, while "not %CX0" identifies all collapsed items (@since 3.3)

"<%=shortdate(%1)%> - <%=shortdate(%2)%>" {string}, displays the start and end margins of the item-bar
"<b><%=(%CS0 ? %0 : ``)%></b><%=(%CS0 ? `` : %0)%>" {string}, displays the item-bar's name in bold only if the first cell is checked )

The AllowActions property defines a list of actions separated by comma that the user can perform by drag or click on the control's content. The order of the actions is very important, as the control checks each action from left to right until it finds a matching action for the performed mouse/touch event. The first matched action is performed, and the rest of the actions are ignored. So if you want to perform a specific action once the user clicks an item, and perform another action if the user clicks an area that does not contain any item, you should place the first action before the second one in the AllowActions property.

For instance:

• "item-drag,scroll", the control performs the "item-drag" action once the user clicks an item and "scroll" action is possible only if the user clicks an area that does not contain any item
• "scroll,item-drag", the "item-drag" action is never performed, as the "scroll" action is always matched first. The scroll by drag can be performed if the user clicks anywhere in the view no matter if an item is present or not

So each action should be placed in the allowActions field according to your needs.

The format of the property is:

"action(shortcut,shortcut,...),action(shortcut,shortcut,...)..."

where

• "action", defines the action to perform (as defined below)

The AllowDrop property specifies whether the user can drag and drop local files into the control. By default, the AllowDrop property is set to false, so no file can be drop into the control. The control imports the file being dropped, using the Import method, based on the file extension.

false {boolean}, no file can be drop into the control (default)
true {boolean}, the user can drag and drop files into the control

The AllowGroupBy property specifies whether the control supports group-by view. The group-by view is generated once the user drags a column to the control's group-by/sort bar. The SortBarVisible property must be true to display the group-by/sort bar. By default, the control does not support group-by view. The onaddgroupitem event is triggered for each item when a group-by view is generated. The onremoveitem event is triggered for each item when a group-by view is removed. The GroupItem property determines whether an item is a group item.

false {boolean}, no group-view is generated once the user drags a column to the control's group-by/sort bar
true {boolean}, the control supports group-by view

The Background property defines the display options to show different parts of the control. The Background property accepts a value of BackgroundOptions type that indicates the display options to show different parts of the control. The Shapes property gets or sets the visual-appearance for different parts of the control, such as header of the columns, rows or cells, and so on.

The Chart property gets the control's chart object. The control consists of columns on the left, which display the items and their details, and chart panels on the right, which display the bars. The control's chart object represents the chart panels and is of Chart type, providing access to all methods and properties. It can be used to get or set chart-related information such as the visible date range, zoom level, selection, and more. For instance, you can use the Chart.Selection property to get or set the chart's selection (bars), the Chart.FirstVisibleDate and Chart.LastVisibleDate properties to get the chart's visible date range, and more.

The following statements are equivalents:

 oGantt.GetChart(), returns the control's chart object
 oGantt.Chart, returns the control's chart object

where oGantt is an object of Gantt type

The ColumnAutoResize property defines whether the control will automatically size its visible columns to fit on the control's client width. The ColumnAutoResize property indicates whether the control will automatically size its visible columns to fit on the control's client width. The Width property of each visible column is adjusted proportionally so that all visible columns fit exactly within the control's client area. The AllowSizing property specifies whether the column is resizable or fixed. The ColumnAutoResize property proportionally resizes visible columns with AllowSizing set to true so that they fit the control's width. By default, ColumnAutoResize is false, and visible columns are not automatically resized to fit the control.

false {boolean}, no effect
true {number}, all visible columns are proportionally resized to fit the control's width

The Columns property returns the control's columns. The Columns property is equivalent with GetColumns() method. The Add or Remove methods of the Columns object could be used to add or remove columns from the control. The Items property returns the control's items. The Add or Remove methods of the Items object could be used to add or remove items from the control. The Import or Data method loads data into the control, and the Export method extracts data from the control, all in a specific format. The ConditionalFormats property returns the control's conditional formats. The Add or Remove methods of the ConditionalFormats object could be used to add or remove conditional formats from the control.

The following statements are equivalents:

 oGantt.GetColumns(), returns the control's columns
 oGantt.Columns, returns the control's columns
 
where oGantt is an object of Gantt type

The ColumnsFloatBarCaption property defines the caption of the columns float bar. The floatbar displays the header of each sorted/grouped-columns. The caption can include ex-HTML tags for formatting purposes. The ColumnsFloatBarVisible property shows or hides the control's floatbar. The ColumnsFloatBarSortOrder property defines the sort order to show the columns within the columns float bar. The ColumnsFloatBarCaption property is set to "Columns" by default.

"" {string}, hides the caption of the columns float bar
"<b>Columns</b>" {string}, displays in bold the caption of the columns float bar

The ColumnsFloatBarSortOrder property defines the sort order to show the columns within the columns float bar. The sort order can be ascending, descending or unsorted. The default sort order is unsorted. The sort order applies only to the columns float bar; it does not affect the order of the columns within the control. The ColumnsFloatBarVisible property must be set to a visible state to see the effect of this property. The ColumnsFloatBarSortOrder property can be set to one of the following values:

• 0 {number}, show columns unsorted
• 1 {number}, show columns in ascending order (by name)
• 2 {number}, shows columns in descending order (by name)

The ColumnsFloatBarCaption property defines the caption of the columns float bar. By default, the ColumnsFloatBarSortOrder property is set to 0, which shows the columns unsorted.

0 {number}, show columns unsorted
1 {number}, show columns in ascending order (by name)

The ColumnsFloatBarVisible property shows or hides the control's floatbar. The floatbar displays the header of each sorted/grouped-columns. The floatbar can be shown as docked to the right side of the control, or as floated over the control. The floatbar can display groupable columns, hidden columns, or a check-box for each column to show/hide the column. The ColumnsFloatBarSortOrder property specifies the sort order to show the columns within the columns float bar. By default, the ColumnsFloatBarVisible property is set to exColumnsFloatBarHidden (0), which hides the columns float bar. The Gantt.ColumnsFloatBarVisibleEnum type supports the following values:

• exColumnsFloatBarHidden(0), the columns floatbar is hidden
• exColumnsFloatBarVisibleIncludeGroupByColumns(1), the columns floatbar is visible, and it displays dragable (AllowDrag property) and groupable (AllowGroupBy property) columns of the control.
• exColumnsFloatBarVisibleIncludeCheckColumns(2), the columns floatbar is visible, and it displays dragable (AllowDrag property), and a check-box for each Column to update its Visible property (shor or hide the column).
• exColumnsFloatBarVisibleIncludeHiddenColumns(4), the columns floatbar is visible, and it displays dragable (AllowDrag property) and hidden (Visible property) columns of the control.
• exColumnsFloatBarFloat(0x100), the columns floatbar is shows as floated. This flag can be combined with exColumnsFloatBarVisibleIncludeHiddenColumns, exColumnsFloatBarVisibleIncludeCheckColumns or exColumnsFloatBarVisibleIncludeGroupByColumns type.

The ColumnsFloatBarCaption property defines the caption of the columns float bar. The ColumnsFloatBarSortOrder property defines the sort order to show the columns within the columns float bar.

false {boolean} or 0 {number}, hides the columns float bar
true {boolean}, 1 or Gantt.ColumnsFloatBarVisibleEnum.exColumnsFloatBarVisibleIncludeGroupByColumns {number}, the columns float bar is visible and displays groupable columns

The Conditional property simultaneously defines all of the control's conditional formats. The conditional formatting feature enables you to apply formats to a cell or range of cells that dynamically change based on the cell's value or the result of a formula. The ConditionalFormats.Add method adds new conditional formats individually. The Conditional.Shape property defines the visual-appearance of the cell when the condition is met, and it accepts the same values of the Shapes property, such as backgroundColor, fontColor, fontStyle and so on.

{
   expression: "value > 100",
   shape:
   {
     frameColor: "black"
   },
   applyTo: "Total"
 } {ConditionalFormatOptions}, highlights the cells in the 'Total' column with values greater than 100

The ConditionalFormats property returns the control's conditional formats. The conditional format allows changing the appearance of cells or items based on specific conditions. The ConditionalFormats property is equivalent with GetConditionalFormats() method. The Add or Remove methods of the ConditionalFormats object could be used to add or remove conditional formats from the control. The Conditional.Shape property defines the visual-appearance of the cell when the condition is met, and it accepts the same values of the Shapes property, such as backgroundColor, fontColor, fontStyle and so on.

The following statements are equivalents:

 oGantt.GetConditionalFormats(), returns the control's conditional formats
 oGantt.ConditionalFormats, returns the control's conditional formats

where oGantt is an object of Gantt type

The CountLockedColumns property locks columns on both the left and right sides of the view using a single byte in {high, low} format. The low nibble (0-15) specifies the number of left-locked columns, while the high nibble (0-15) specifies the number of right-locked columns (locked columns are fixed in place and do not scroll with the rest of the content). The Shapes/GetShapes()/SetShapes(value) {string}, defines the shapes each part of the control can display, including the locked columns. By default, the control displays no locked-columns. The Item.Lock property locks or unlocks the item, placing it at the top, bottom, or making it scrollable. The ShowLockedItems property indicates whether the locked/fixed items are visible or hidden.

0 {number}, indicates that the control displays no locked-columns
2 {number}, specifies that the first two-visible columns are locked (not scrollable and fixed to the left side of the control)
0x10 {number}, locks 1 column on the right (@since 4.6)
0x11 {number}, locks 1 column on the left and 1 on the right (@since 4.6)

The CrSize property gets or sets the size to show the check-box/radio-button. The CellHasCheck/GetCellHasCheck()/SetCellHasCheck(value) {boolean}, shows or hides check-box, or radio-buttons for all cells within the column. The Cell.HasCheck property shows or hides the cell's check-box or radio-button is visible or hidden. By default the check-box/radio-button size is 16x16 pixels.

0 {number}, displays no check-box/radio-button
24 {number}, specifies a size of 24x24 to display the check-box/radio-button

The Cursors property specifies the mouse cursors assigned to the different parts of the control. These cursors determine how the pointer appears when hovering over specific areas, providing visual feedback and indicating interactive regions within the control. The change takes effect immediately. The cursors field customizes the mouse cursor appearance of the control. The Cell.Cursor property gets or sets the mouse cursor for the cell itself. The Column.CellCursor property gets or sets the mouse cursor for the column's body/data/cells. The Column.Cursor property gets or sets the mouse cursor for the column itself (column's header). The format of property is:

By default, the Cursors property is set to:

"not-allowed(no),grab(long),pointer(expand,check,radio,filterBar-close,filterBar-caption-column,column-filter,column-drag,item-drag,drag-drop,anchor),text(filterBar-prompt)"

"pointer(item),not-allowed(no),grab(long)" {string}, sets the mouse cursors for different parts of the tree control

The Data property gets or sets the control's data. The GetData() method is equivalent with Data getter, while the SetData(value) method is equivalent with Data setter. The Data property imports data from CSV, XML files, string, array or objects of {columns, items} type. The SetData(value) method is equivalent with Import(value) method. The onload event occurs once the data is loaded. The onload event is fired even if the data is changed by user interaction (drop a file) or programmatically. The onerror event occurs if the data is not loaded successfully. The onerror event is fired even if the data is changed by user interaction (drop a file) or programmatically. The ImportOptions type defines default options to import data.

The Data property supports any of the following values:

• A String expression that specifies the URL to a CSV or XML file (contains no eof, eor or str). For example, "datasource.xml" imports the content of the 'datasource.xml' file
• A String expression in CSV or XML format. For example, "Item 1.1,SubItem 1.2\r\nItem 1.2,SubItem 2.2" creates two columns and two rows
• An array of [value] or [[value]] type that defines the data to load. For instance, [["Item 1.1","Item 1.2"],["Item 2.1","Item 2.2"]] creates two columns and two rows
• (@since 3.2) An object of {columns, items} type, where:
  • 'columns' can be an array of [(string | ColumnOptions)] to specify the columns to add or of type Columns to copy the control's header from one control to another (@since 4.3). For instance {columns: "Name,Start,End"}, adds three columns, or {columns: ["Name", {caption: "Filter", displayFilterButton: true}]} adds two columns
  • 'items' is an array of [(string|ItemOptions)] to specify the items to add or of type Items to copy the control's items from one control to another (@since 4.3).

    The ItemOptions type supports a recursive 'items' property to specify child items. For instance, {columns: "Def", items: {value: "Root", expanded: false, items:["Child 1", "Child 2", "Child 3"]}} defines a single-column control with a collapsed root item labeled 'Root' and three child items named 'Child 1', 'Child 2', and 'Child 3', or {columns: [{caption: "C1", displayFilterButton: true}, "C2"], items: [{value: ["R1.1", "R1.2"], items: [["C1.1", "C1.2"], ["C2.1", "C2.2"], ["C3.1", "C3.2"]]}, ["R2.1", "R2.2"]]} defines a dataset with two columns labeled as C1 (with a filter button for user value filtering) and C2. It includes two root items and three child items under the first root, each specifying values for their respective cells in the table.

    The 'bars' field (of [ItemBarOptions] type) within the 'items' field (of [ItemOptions] type) specifies the bars, to add to the item when using the Data/SetData(value) method. For example, {items: {value: "Machine", bars: { name: "Task", start: "#01/12/2024#", end: "#01/22/2024#" }}} adds a single item named 'Machine' with a 'Task' bar that starts on 01/12/2024 and ends on 01/22/2024, or {items: {value: "Machine", bars: [{ name: "Task", start: "#01/01/2024#", end: "#01/11/2024#", key: "A"}, { name: "Task", start: "#01/12/2024#", end: "#01/22/2024#", key: "B"}]}} adds a single item named 'Machine' with two 'Task' bars

  • 'links' is an array of [(string|LinkOptions)] type. The 'links' field of type [LinkOptions] specifies the connections between item-bars when using the Data/SetData(value) method, where the value parameter can be an object of {columns, items, links} type. For instance, {links: {from: 0, to: 1}, items: [{value: "Machine 1", bars: {name: "Task", start: "#01/10/2024#", end: "#01/15/2024#"}}, {value: "Machine 2", bars: {name: "Task", start: "#01/16/2024#", end: "#01/21/2024#"}}]} adds a link between the first and second item-bars
• An object that includes the "files" member of FileList type (representing a local file dropped into the control)

The onaddcolumn event occurs for each column added to the control, while the onadditem event occurs for each item added to the control during data import. The onload event occurs once all data is imported and loaded into the control.

"xml/datasource.xml" {string}, imports data from datasource.xml file
"Item 1.1,SubItem 1.2\r\nItem 1.2,SubItem 2.2" {string}, creates two columns and two rows
[["Item 1.1","Item 1.2"],["Item 2.1","Item 2.2"]] {array}, creates two columns and two rows
{columns: [{caption: "C1", displayFilterButton: true}, " C2"], items: [{value: ["R1.1", "R1.2"], items: [["C1.1", "C1.2"], ["C2.1", "C2.2"], ["C3.1", "C3.2"]]}, ["R2.1", "R2.2"]]} {object}, defines a dataset with two columns labeled as C1 (with a filter button for user value filtering) and C2. It includes two root items and three child items under the first root, each specifying values for their respective cells in the table (@since 3.2)

The Debug property shows or hides the debug-information. The debug-mode displays the bar's key within each bar. The Key property of the ItemBar object defines the unique identifier of the bar. If the key is not specified the '' is displayed. By default, the debug-mode is disabled.

The following samples are equivalent:

 oGantt.oTV.SetDebug(true);
 oGantt.Debug = true;

where oGantt is an object of Gantt type

The DefaultItemHeight property gets or sets the item's default-height. The item's height is set to default-height when the item is added. If the item's height has been changed by the user (resized), then changing the default-height does not affect the item's height unless the item allows sizing (ItemAllowSizing property) and its height is reset to default-height. The Item.Height property gets or sets the height of the item. The Item.AllowSizing property indicates whether the item allows resizing by the user. By default, the DefaultItemHeight property is set to 24px.

null {null}, specifies that the item's height is 24 (by default)
18 {number}, changes the item's default height to 18

The DrawGridLines property shows or hides the control's grid-lines. The DrawGridLines property pecifies whether the control's grid-lines are visible or hidden. The Gantt.GridLinesEnum type supports the following flags:

• exNoLines(0), no grid lines
• exAllLines(-1), shows all vertical and horizontal grid lines
• exRowLines(-2), shows grid lines for existing rows only
• exHLines(1), shows only the horizontal grid lines
• exVLines(2), shows only the vertical grid lines

The GridLines property customizes the color, width and style of the control's grid-lines. The GridLines property specifies the color, width and style of the control's grid-lines as an object of {width, color, style} type. By default, the DrawGridLines property is set to exNoLines (0), which hides the control's grid-lines.

0 or Gantt.GridLinesEnum.exNoLines {number}, hides the grid-lines (default)
-1 or Gantt.GridLinesEnum.exAllLines {number}, shows all vertical and horizontal grid lines

The EnsureOnSort property ensures that the selection fits the view's client-area once the user sorts or groups a column. The method scrolls the view, so the selection (including the parent-items) fits the view's client area. The Column.SortOrder property specifies the sort order of the column. The Sorts property of the Columns collection specifies the list of sorted columns within the tree-view. By default, the EnsureOnSort property is set to true, which scrolls the view to fit the selection once the user sorts or groups a column.

false {boolean}, no effect
true {boolean}, scrolls the view, so the selection (including the parent-items) fits the view's client area

The ExpandGlyphSize property changes the size to show the item's expand/collapse glyphs. The item displays expand/collapse glyphs only if it has child-items. The Item.Expanded property indicates whether the item is expanded or collapsed. The Item.ToggleExpand() method toggles the item's expand state. The Item.ShowExpand property specifies whether the item's expand/collapse glyphs is visible or hidden. By default the expand/collapse glyphs size is 16x16 pixels.

0 {number}, displays no item's expand/collapse glyphs
24 {number}, specifies a size of 24x24 to display the item's expand/collapse glyphs

The ExpandOnDblClick property determines whether the item is expanded or collapsed once the user double-clicks the item. The Item.Expanded property indicates whether the item is expanded or collapsed. The Item.ToggleExpand() method toggles the item's expand state. The Item.ShowExpand property specifies whether the item's expand/collapse glyphs is visible or hidden. By default, the ExpandOnDblClick property is set to true, which expands or collapses the item once the user double-clicks it.

false {boolean}, the item is not expanded or collapsed once the user double-clicks it
true {boolean}, the item is expanded or collapsed once the user double-clicks it

The FilterBarCaption property customizes the caption to display within the control's filter-bar. The FilterBarHeight property gets or sets the height to display the control's filter-bar. The filter-bar is displayed only if the control's FilterBarVisible property includes exFilterBarVisible or exFilterBarPromptVisible flags, or if any filter is applied and the FilterBarVisible property includes exFilterBarHidden flag. Setting the filter-bar height to 0 hides the control's filter-bar. The FilterBarPrompt property gets or sets the caption to show while the pattern of the filter-prompt is empty. The property supports the following keywords, constants, operators and functions:

• "value" or "current", returns the current filter as a string. At runtime the value may return a string such as

  "[<b>EmployeeID</b>] = '4| 5| 6' and [<b>ShipVia</b>] = 1</img>"

  , so the control automatically applies HTML format, which you can change it. For instance,

  "upper(value)"

  displays the caption in uppercase or "value replace `<b>` with `<fgcolor=808080>` replace `</b>` with `</fgcolor>`" displays the column's name with a different foreground color.
• "itemcount", returns the total number of items as indicated by Items.Count property. At runtime the itemcount is a positive integer that indicates the count of all items. For instance,

  "value + `<fgcolor=808080>Total: ` + itemcount"

  includes in the filter bar the number of items aligned to the right.
• "visibleitemcount", returns the number of visible items as indicated by Items.VisibleCount property. At runtime, the visibleitemcount is a positive integer if no filter is applied, and negative if a filter is applied. If positive, it indicates the number of visible items. The visible items does not include child items of a collapsed item. If negative, a filter is applied, and the absolute value minus one, indicates the number of visible items after filter is applied. 0 indicates no visible items, while -1 indicates that a filter is applied, but no item matches the filter criteria. For instance,

  "value + `<fgcolor=808080>` + ( visibleitemcount < 0 ? ( `Result: ` + ( abs(visibleitemcount) - 1 ) ) : ( `Visible: ` + visibleitemcount ) )"

  includes "Visible: " plus number of visible items, if no filter is applied or "Result: " plus number of visible items, if filter is applied, aligned to the right
• "matchitemcount", returns the number of items that match the filter as indicated by Items.MatchCount property. At runtime, the matchitemcount is a positive integer if no filter is applied, and negative if a filter is applied. If positive, it indicates the number of items within the control (Items.Count property). If negative, a filter is applied, and the absolute value minus one, indicates the number of matching items after filter is applied. A matching item includes its parent items, if the control's FilterInclude property allows including child items. 0 indicates no visible items, while -1 indicates that a filter is applied, but no item matches the filter criteria. For instance,

  "value + `<fgcolor=808080>` + ( matchitemcount < 0 ? ( `Result: ` + ( abs(matchitemcount) - 1 ) ) : ( `Visible: ` + matchitemcount ) )"

  includes "Visible: " plus number of visible items, if no filter is applied or "Result: " plus number of matching items, if filter is applied, aligned to the right
• "leafitemcount", returns the number of leaf-items. A leaf item is an item with no child items. At runtime, the leafitemcount is a positive number that computes the number of leaf-items ( expanded or collapsed ). For instance,

  "value + `<fgcolor=808080><font ;6>` + leafitemcount"

  displays the number of leaf-items aligned to the right with a different font and foreground color.
• "promptpattern", returns the pattern in the filter bar's prompt, as a string. The FilterBarPromptPattern specifies the pattern for the filter prompt. The control's filter bar prompt is visible, if the exFilterBarPromptVisible flag is included in the FilterBarVisible property.
• "available", returns the list of columns that are not currently part of the control's filter, but are available to be filtered. A column is available to be filtered, if the DisplayFilterButton property of the Column object, is True. At runtime, the available keyword may return a string such as

  "<fgcolor=C0C0C0>[<s>OrderDate</s>]<fgcolor> </fgcolor>[<s>RequiredDate</s>]<fgcolor> </fgcolor>[<s>ShippedDate</s>]<fgcolor> </fgcolor>[<s>ShipCountry</s>]<fgcolor> </fgcolor>[<s>Select</s>]</fgcolor>"

  so the control automatically applies HTML format, which you can change it. For instance,

  "value + ` ` + available"

  displays the current filter, including all available columns to be filtered. For instance,

  "value + `` + available replace `C0C0C0` with `FF0000`"

  displays the available columns aligned to the right with a different foreground color.
• "allui", returns the list of columns that are part of the current filter and available columns to be filtered. A column is available to be filtered, if the DisplayFilterButton property of the Column object, is True. At runtime, the allui keyword may return a string such as

  "[<b>EmployeeID</b>] = '4| 5| 6'<fgcolor> </fgcolor><fgcolor=C0C0C0>[<s>OrderDate</s>]</fgcolor><fgcolor> </fgcolor><fgcolor=C0C0C0>[<s>RequiredDate</s>]</fgcolor><fgcolor> </fgcolor><fgcolor=C0C0C0>[<s>ShippedDate</s>]</fgcolor><fgcolor> </fgcolor>[<b>ShipVia</b>] = 1</img><fgcolor> </fgcolor><fgcolor=C0C0C0>[<s>ShipCountry</s>]</fgcolor><fgcolor> </fgcolor><fgcolor=C0C0C0>[<s>Select</s>]</fgcolor>"

  so the control automatically applies HTML format, which you can change it. For instance,

  "allui"

  displays the current filter, including all available columns to be filtered. For instance,

  "((allui + `<fgcolor=808080>` + ( matchitemcount < 0 ? ( ( len(allui) ? `` : `` ) + `` + abs(matchitemcount + 1) + ` result(s)` ) : (`<fgcolor=808080>`+ itemcount + ` item(s)`) )) replace `[<b>` with `<bgcolor=000000><fgcolor=FFFFFF><b> ` replace `</b>]` with ` </b></bgcolor></fgcolor>` replace `[<s>` with `<bgcolor=C0C0C0><fgcolor=FFFFFF> ` replace `</s>]` with ` </bgcolor></fgcolor>` )"

  displays all available columns to be filtered with different background/foreground colors including the number of items/results
• "all", returns the list of all columns ( visible or hidden ) no matter if the DisplayFilterButton property is True or False. At runtime, the all keyword may return a string such as

  "<fgcolor=C0C0C0>[<s>OrderID</s>]</fgcolor><fgcolor> </fgcolor>[<b>EmployeeID</b>] = '4| 5| 6'<fgcolor> </fgcolor><fgcolor=C0C0C0>[<s>OrderDate</s>]</fgcolor><fgcolor> </fgcolor><fgcolor=C0C0C0>[<s>RequiredDate</s>]</fgcolor><fgcolor>"

  so the control automatically applies HTML format, which you can change it. For instance,

  "all"

  displays the current filter, including all other columns. For instance,

  "((all + `<fgcolor=808080>` + ( matchitemcount < 0 ? ( ( len(allui) ? `` : `` ) + `` + abs(matchitemcount + 1) + ` result(s)` ) : (`<fgcolor=808080>`+ itemcount + ` item(s)`) )) replace `[<b>` with `<bgcolor=000000><fgcolor=FFFFFF><b> ` replace `</b>]` with ` </b></bgcolor></fgcolor>` replace `[<s>` with `<bgcolor=C0C0C0><fgcolor=FFFFFF> ` replace `</s>]` with ` </bgcolor></fgcolor>` )"

  displays all columns with different background/foreground colors including the number of items/results

By default, the FilterBarCaption property is an empty string (""), so no filter bar is displayed while no filter is applied. Once a filter is applied, the control displays the current filter as the filter bar caption.

"" {string}, displays no filter bar while no filter is applied, else it displays the filter as default
"no filter" {string}, shows no filter caption all the time
"allui" {string}, displays all available columns (column's DisplayFilterButton property is true)
"value replace ` and ` with `<off 4> and </off>` replace `|` with ` <off 4>or</off> ` replace ` ` with ` `" {string}, replaces the AND and | values
"value replace `[` with `<bgcolor=000000><fgcolor=FFFFFF><b> ` replace `]` with ` </b></bgcolor></fgcolor>`" {string}, highlights the columns being filtered with a different background/foreground colors.

The FilterBarHeight property gets or sets the height to display the control's filter-bar. The filter-bar is displayed only if the control's FilterBarVisible property includes exFilterBarVisible or exFilterBarPromptVisible flags, or if any filter is applied and the FilterBarVisible property includes exFilterBarHidden flag. Setting the filter-bar height to 0 hides the control's filter-bar. The FilterBarPrompt property gets or sets the caption to show while the pattern of the filter-prompt is empty. By default, the FilterBarHeight property is set to 24 pixels.

0 {number}, hides the control's filter-bar
24 {number}, indicates that the height of the control's filter-bar is 24

The FilterBarPrompt property gets or sets the caption to show while the pattern of the filter-prompt is empty. FilterBarPrompt property supports ex-HTML formatting. The FilterBarVisible property shows or hides the control's filter-bar. The FilterBarHeight property gets or sets the height to display the control's filter-bar. The FilterBarPromptColumns property specifies the list of columns the pattern of filter-prompt is applying to. The FilterBarPromptType property gets or sets the type of the control's filter-prompt. The default value is "Start Filter...".

"" {string}, displays no caption (while the pattern of the filter-prompt is empty)
"<i>filter...</i>" {string}, displays the message "filter..." in italics

The FilterBarPromptColumns property specifies the list of columns the pattern of filter-prompt is applying to. The FilterBarPromptColumns property supports the following types of values:

• null {null} or -1 {number}, all columns (visible or hidden)
• {number}, specifies the index of the column
• {string}, specifies a list of index/identifier/key/caption/plain-caption, separated by comma character
• {Column}, specifies the column reference

The FilterBarVisible property shows or hides the control's filter-bar. The FilterBarHeight property gets or sets the height to display the control's filter-bar. The FilterBarPromptColumns property specifies the list of columns the pattern of filter-prompt is applying to. The FilterBarPromptType property gets or sets the type of the control's filter-prompt. By default, the FilterBarPromptColumns property is null, which specifies that filter-prompt is applied to all columns (visible or hidden).

null or -1 {null/number}, specifies that filter-prompt is applied to all columns (visible or hidden)
2 {number}, specifies that filter-prompt is applied to the column with index 2
"0,2,4" {string}, specifies that filter-prompt is applied to the columns with index 0, 2 and 4
"EmployeeID,ShipVia,ShipCountry" {string}, specifies that filter-prompt is applied to the columns with identifier/key/caption/plain-caption "EmployeeID", "ShipVia" and "ShipCountry"

The FilterBarPromptPattern property gets or sets the pattern of the control's filter-prompt. The pattern is used to filter the items within the control based on the filterBarPromptType field. The FilterBarPrompt property gets or sets the caption to show while the pattern of the filter-prompt is empty. The FilterBarPromptType property gets or sets the type of the control's filter-prompt, as a value of the Gantt.FilterPromptEnum enumeration. By default, the FilterBarPromptPattern property is an empty string ("").

"" {string}, clears the pattern of the filter-prompt
"A" {string}, filters for items includes "A" (exFilterPromptContainsAll)
"A* *B" {string}, filters for items start starts with "A" or ends with "B" (exFilterPromptPattern)

The FilterBarPromptType property gets or sets the type of the control's filter-prompt, as a value of the Gantt.FilterPromptEnum enumeration. The type defines how the pattern of filter-prompt filters for items. The FilterBarVisible property shows or hides the control's filter-bar. The filter-bar is displayed only if the control's FilterBarVisible property includes exFilterBarVisible or exFilterBarPromptVisible flags, or if any filter is applied and the FilterBarVisible property includes exFilterBarHidden flag. The onfilter event notifies your application once the control's filter has been changed. The Gantt.FilterPromptEnum type supports the following flags:

• exFilterPromptContainsAll(1), The list includes the items that contains all specified sequences in the filter. Can be combined with exFilterPromptCaseSensitive, exFilterPromptStartWords, exFilterPromptEndWords or exFilterPromptWords
• exFilterPromptContainsAny(2), The list includes the items that contains any of specified sequences in the filter. Can be combined with exFilterPromptCaseSensitive, exFilterPromptStartWords, exFilterPromptEndWords or exFilterPromptWords
• exFilterPromptStartWith(3), The list includes the items that starts with any specified sequences in the filter. Can be combined with exFilterPromptCaseSensitive, exFilterPromptStartWords, exFilterPromptEndWords or exFilterPromptWords
• exFilterPromptEndWith(4), The list includes the items that ends with any specified sequences in the filter. Can be combined with exFilterPromptCaseSensitive, exFilterPromptStartWords, exFilterPromptEndWords or exFilterPromptWords
• exFilterPromptPattern(16), The filter indicates a pattern that may include wild characters to be used to filter the items in the list. Can be combined with exFilterPromptCaseSensitive. The filterBarPromptPattern field may include wild characters as follows:

  '?' for any single character
  '*' for zero or more occurrences of any character
  '#' for any digit character
  ' ' space delimits the patterns inside the filter
  

• exFilterPromptCaseSensitive(0x0100), Filtering the list is case sensitive. Can be combined with exFilterPromptContainsAll, exFilterPromptContainsAny, exFilterPromptStartWith, exFilterPromptEndWith or exFilterPromptPattern.

0x3202 or Gantt.FilterPromptEnum.exFilterPromptContainsAny | Gantt.FilterPromptEnum.exFilterPromptWords {number}, filters for items that contains any words in the filter
0x3203 or Gantt.FilterPromptEnum.exFilterPromptStartWith | Gantt.FilterPromptEnum.exFilterPromptWords {number}, filters for items that starts with any word within the filter

The FilterBarVisible property shows or hides the control's filter-bar. The filter-bar is displayed only if the control's FilterBarVisible property includes exFilterBarVisible or exFilterBarPromptVisible flags, or if any filter is applied and the FilterBarVisible property includes exFilterBarHidden flag. The onfilter event notifies your application once the control's filter has been changed. The onfilter event is triggered when the user applies a new filter or clears the existing filter. The FilterBarVisible property supports multiple flags that customize the control's filter-bar appearance and behavior, as defined by the exontrol.Gantt.FilterBarVisibleEnum type. The Gantt.FilterBarVisibleEnum type supports the following flags:

• exFilterBarHidden(0), indicates that the control's filter-bar is visible only if the control has a filter applied (use the filterBarHeight on 0 to effectively hides the control's filter-bar)
• exFilterBarPromptVisible(1), specifies that the control's filter-bar displays the filter prompt
• exFilterBarVisible(2), forces the control's filter-bar to be shown, no matter if any filter is applied
• exFilterBarCaptionVisible(4), forces the control's filter-bar to display the FilterBarCaption property.
• exFilterBarSingleLine(16), specifies that the caption on the control's filter bar is displayed on a single line. The exFilterBarSingleLine flag , specifies that the filter bar's caption is shown on a single line, so
  HTML tag or \r\n are not handled. By default, the control's filter description applies word wrapping. Can be combined to exFilterBarCompact to display a single-line filter bar. If missing, the caption on the control's filter bar is displayed on multiple lines. You can change the height of the control's filter bar using the FilterBarHeight property.
• exFilterBarToggle(256), specifies that the user can close the control's filter bar ( removes the control's filter ) by clicking the close button of the filter bar or by pressing the CTRL + F, while the control's filter bar is visible. If no filter bar is displayed, the user can display the control's filter bar by pressing the CTRL + F key. While the control's filter bar is visible the user can navigate though the list or control's filter bar using the ALT + Up/Down keys. If missing, the control's filter bar is always shown if any of the following flags is present exFilterBarPromptVisible, exFilterBarVisible, exFilterBarCaptionVisible.
• exFilterBarShowCloseIfRequired(512), indicates that the close button of the control's filter bar is displayed only if the control has any currently filter applied.
• exFilterBarShowCloseOnRight(1024), specifies that the close button of the control's filter bar should be displayed on the right side.
• exFilterBarCompact(2048), compacts the control's filter bar, so the filter-prompt will be displayed to the left, while the control's filter bar caption will be displayed to the right. This flag has effect only if combined with the exFilterBarPromptVisible. This flag can be combined with the exFilterBarSingleLine flag, so all filter bar will be displayed compact and on a single line.
• exFilterBarShort(4096), specifies that the control's filter bar is displayed only on the default-view (has effect if the control displays multiple views).

By default, the FilterBarVisible property is set to exontrol.Gantt.FilterBarVisibleEnum.exFilterBarHidden, which makes the control's filter-bar visible only if there is a filter applied.

0 or Gantt.FilterBarVisibleEnum.exFilterBarHidden {number}, (default) the control's filter-bar is visible only if there is a filter applied.
1 or Gantt.FilterBarVisibleEnum.exFilterBarPromptVisible {number}, the control's filter-bar is visible and shows the control's filter-prompt

The FilterInclude property specifies the items to include once the control's filter is applied. The Gantt.FilterIncludeEnum type supports various flags that define the items to include once the control's filter is applied. The exMatchIncludeParent flag can be combined with any other value to include the parent-items that match the filter. The FilterInclude property supports values of Gantt.FilterIncludeEnum type. The Gantt.FilterIncludeEnum type supports the following flags:

• exItemsWithoutChilds(0), items (and parent-items) that match the filter are shown (no child-items are included)
• exItemsWithChilds(1), items (parent and child-items) that match the filter are shown
• exRootsWithoutChilds(2), only root-items (excludes child-items) that match the filter are displayed
• exRootsWithChilds(3), root-items (and child-items) that match the filter are displayed
• exMatchingItemsOnly(4), shows only the items that matches the filter (no parent or child-items are included)
• exMatchIncludeParent(0xF0), specifies that the item matches the filter if any of its parent-item matches the filter. The exMatchIncludeParent flag can be combined with any other value

By default, the FilterInclude property is set to exItemsWithoutChilds, which shows the items (and parent-items) that match the filter (no child-items are included).

null {null}, specifies the control's default FilterInclude property (Gantt.FilterIncludeEnum.exItemsWithoutChilds), so items (and parent-items) that match the filter are shown (no child-items are included)
4 or Gantt.FilterIncludeEnum.exMatchingItemsOnly {number}, shows only the items that matches the filter (no parent or child-items are included)
0xF4 or Gantt.FilterIncludeEnum.exMatchingItemsOnly | Gantt.FilterIncludeEnum.exMatchIncludeParent {number}, shows the items (including the child-items) that match the filter

The FormatText property gets or sets the format to display the cell's caption, as a combination of exontrol.DrawTextFormatEnum flags. The Cell.FormatText property gets or sets the format to display the cell's caption. The Column.FormatText property gets or sets the format to display the column's header caption. The format defines the text's alignment, wrapping, clipping, and other display options. The Gantt.FormatText property is used as default format for the cells or columns that do not have their own format defined. Shortly, if the Cell.Format property is null, the Gantt.FormatText property is used to display the cell's caption; if the Column.Format property is null, the Gantt.FormatText property is used to display the column's header caption. The exontrol.DrawTextFormatEnum type supports the following flags:

• exTextAlignTop (0x00), justifies the text to the top of the rectangle
• exTextAlignLeft (0x00), aligns text to the left
• exTextAlignCenter (0x01), centers text horizontally in the rectangle
• exTextAlignRight (0x02), aligns text to the right
• exTextAlignVCenter (0x04), centers text vertically
• exTextAlignBottom (0x08), justifies the text to the bottom of the rectangle.
• exTextAlignMask (0x0F), specifies the mask for text's alignment.
• exTextWordBreak (0x10), breaks words. Lines are automatically broken between words if a word would extend past the edge of the rectangle specified by the lpRect parameter. A carriage return-line feed sequence also breaks the line. If this is not specified, output is on one line.
• exTextSingleLine (0x20), displays text on a single line only. Carriage returns and line feeds do not break the line.
• exTextExpandTabs (0x40), expands tab characters. The default number of characters per tab is eight.
• exPlainText (0x80), treats the text as plain text.
• exTextNoClip (0x0100), draws without clipping.
• exHTMLTextNoColors (0x0200), ignores the and tags.
• exTextCalcRect (0x0400), determines the width and height of the text.
• exHTMLTextNoTags (0x0800), ignores all HTML tags.
• exTextPathEllipsis (0x4000), for displayed text, replaces characters in the middle of the string with ellipses so that the result fits in the specified rectangle. If the string contains backslash (\) characters, exTextPathEllipsis preserves as much as possible of the text after the last backslash.
• exTextEndEllipsis (0x8000), for displayed text, if the end of a string does not fit in the rectangle, it is truncated and ellipses are added. If a word that is not at the end of the string goes beyond the limits of the rectangle, it is truncated without ellipses.
• exTextWordEllipsis (0x040000), truncates any word that does not fit in the rectangle and adds ellipses.

null {null}, centers the caption
32 or exontrol.DrawTextFormatEnum.exTextSingleLine {number}, defines a single-line caption
0x2A or exontrol.DrawTextFormatEnum.exTextSingleLine | exontrol.DrawTextFormatEnum.exTextAlignRight | exontrol.DrawTextFormatEnum.exTextAlignBottom {number}, defines a single-line caption right/bottom-aligned

The GridLines property customizes the color, width and style of the control's grid-lines. The DrawGridLines property shows or hides the control's grid-lines. The GridLines property specifies the color, width and style of the control's grid-lines as an object of {width, color, style} type as explained:

width {number}, specifies the line's width or size (1 by default)
color {string}, indicates the line's color (partial-black by default)
style {number[]}, specifies the dash pattern to show the lines (dotted by default)

By default, the GridLines property is set to:

 {
  color: "gray",
  style: 1
 }

which displays gray dotted grid-lines with 1-pixel width.

null {null}, resets the grid-lines to default (gray dotted lines with 1-pixel width)
{ color: "red", width: 2, style: [4,2] } {object}, changes the grid-lines to red color, 2-pixels width and dashed style

The GroupByFormatCell property specifies the format of the cell to be displayed when the column gets grouped by. The Gantt.AllowGroupBy property specifies whether the control supports group-by view. The group-by view is generated once the user drags a column to the control's group-by/sort bar. The Gantt.SortBarVisible property must be true to display the group-by/sort bar. By default, the control does not support group-by view. The onaddgroupitem event is triggered for each item when a group-by view is generated. The onremoveitem event is triggered for each item when a group-by view is removed. The GroupItem property determines whether an item is a group item. The format of the cell to be displayed when the column gets grouped by can be specified for each column individually through the Column.GroupByFormatCell property, which overrides the default format specified by this method.

The format of the cell is defined by a format-expression that supports keywords and operators, as explained next:

value, indicates the value of the current cell ( "value/2 format ``", displays half of the value using current regional format )
%0, %1, %2, ... {any} specifies the value of the cell in the column with the index 0, 1 2, ... ( "currency(%0 + %1)", adds the value of first and second cell and displays it as a currency )
%C0, %C1, %C2, ... {string} specifies the caption of the cell, or the string the cell displays in the column with the index 0, 1 2, ... ( "%C0 + %C1", concatenates the caption of first and second cell )
%CD0, %CD1, %CD2, ... {any} specifies the cell's user-date in the column with the index 0, 1 2, ... ( "%CD0 ? value : ``", displays the cell's value only if the cell's data is not empty )
%CS0, %CS1, %CS2, ... {number} specifies the cell's state in the column with the index 0, 1 2, ... ( "(%CS0 ? `<b>` : ``) + value", displays the cell's value in bold only if the first cell is checked )
%CT0, %CT1, %CT2, ... {boolean} returns true if the cell displays a total field; otherwise, it returns false. The exTotalField / exTotalColumn flag specifies whether the cell displays a total field. For instance, "%CT1" refers to all cells in the second column that display totals, while "not %CT1" refers to all cells in the second column that do not display totals (@since 3.3)
%CE0, %CE1, %CE2, ... {boolean} returns true if the cell is editable; otherwise, it returns false.. For example, "%CE0" refers to all editable cells in the first column, while "not %CE1" refers to all cells in the second column that are read-only (@since 3.3)
%CC0, %CC1, %CC2, ... {number} retrieve the number of child items (this keyword consistently returns identical results for all cells since it pertains to the item that hosts each cell). The ChildCount property returns the number of child items. For example, "%CC0" identifies all parent items, while "%CC0 = 0" identifies all leaf items (@since 3.3)
%CX0, %CX1, %CX2, ... {boolean} returns true if the item hosting the cell is expanded, or false if it is collapsed (this keyword consistently returns identical results for all cells since it pertains to the item that hosts each cell). The Item.Expanded property specifically indicates whether the item is expanded or collapsed. For example, "%CX0" refers to all expanded items, while "not %CX0" identifies all collapsed items (@since 3.3)

The format-expression supports the following unary-operators:

• exp(``), checks whether the item is expanded or collapsed ( "(exp(``) ? `<b>` : ``) + value", shows expanded-items in bold )
• get(`aggregate(list,direction,formula)`), summarizes the cell based on "aggregate(list,direction,formula)" syntax, where:

  aggregate, must be one of the following:
  

  • sum, performs addition of values
  • min, retrieves the minimum value
  • max, retrieves the maximum value
  • count, counts the number of items
  • avg, calculates the average of values
  • std, gets standard-deviation of numbers
  • unique, counts how many distinct values are in the set (@since 4.3)

  list, must be one of the following:
  

  • a number expression that specifies the index of the item being referred
  • all, indicates all items, so the formula is being applied to all items
  • current, refers the current item
  • parent, refers to the parent item
  • root, refers to the root item (the root item has no parent items)

  direction, must be one of the following:

  • dir, collects only direct descendents (child-items)
  • rec, collects recursivelly the leaf descendents ( leaf items ). A leaf item is an item with no child items
  • all, collects all descendents
    

  Currently, the following items are excluded by aggregate functions:

  not-sortable items. The Item.Sortable property specifies whether the item can be sorted ( a sortable item can change its position after sorting, while a not-sortable item keeps its position after sorting. not-selectable items. The Item.Selectable property specifies whether the user can selects/focus the specified item. divider items. The Item.Divider property specifies whether the item displays a single cell, instead displaying whole cells.

  In conclusion, aggregate functions counts ONLY items that are sortable, selectable and not a divider-item.
  
  For instance:

  "get(`count(current,dir,1)`)", gets the count of child-items
  "get(`count(current,all,1)`)", gets the count of all child-items (implies recursively child items)
  "get(`count(current,rec,1)`)", counts the number of leaf items ( a leaf item is an item with no child items )
  "get(`sum(current,dir,%1 ? 1 : 0)`)", counts the number of child-items that have not-empty cells within the second-column
  "get(`sum(current,dir,value)`)", gets the total of values of child-items (direct descendent) within the same column
  "get(`sum(all,rec,value)`)", gets the total of values of leaf-items within the same column
  "get(`sum(parent,dir,dbl(%1) + dbl(%2))`)", gets the addition of all cells in the second (%1) and third (%2) column that are directly descendent of the parent item (sibling)

The format-expression supports the following binary-operators:

0 index `format`, gets the index of the item (0-based). The first added item has the index 0, the second added item has the index 1, and so on. The index of the item remains the same even if the order of the items is changed by sorting or grouping ( "1 index ``", gets the index of the item starting from 1 )
0 rindex `delimiter|format|format|...`, returns the recursive-index of the item ("1 rindex `.|A-Z`", returns values as A, A.1, A.2, B, ...)
0 pos `format`, returns the relative position of the item (the position within the parent's children collection) ( "1 pos ``", returns the position of the item (1-based) within the parent's child items collection )
0 rpos `delimiter|format|format|...`, returns the recursive relative-position of the item (the position within the parent's children collection) ( "1 rpos `.|A-Z`", returns values as A, A.1, A.2, B, ... )
0 opos `format`, returns the relative old position of the item (the position within the parent's children collection) ( "1 opos ``", returns the position of the item (1-based) within the parent's child items collection )
0 ropos `delimiter|format|format|...`, returns the recursive relative-old-position of the item (the position within the parent's children collection) ( "1 ropos `.|A-Z`", returns values as A, A.1, A.2, B, ... )
0 apos `format`, returns the absolute position of the item (the position from the first visible item) ( "1 apos ``", gets absolute position of the item )
0 rapos `delimiter|format|format|...`, returns the recursive absolute-position of the item (the position from the first visible item) ( "1 rapos `.|A-Z`", returns values as A, A.1, A.2, B, ... )

where:

• `delimiter`, is a character to separated recursive-operators such as "rindex", "rpos", "ropos" and "rapos"
• `format`, is a set of characters to be used for specifying the index

Additionally, it supports parent and root unary operators to access the values of parent or root items as explained:

parent (unary operator), refers to the parent item of the current item. This expression allows access to values or properties associated with the immediate parent in the hierarchy or structure ( "parent(1 index ``)", gets the index of the parent-item (1-based) ) (@since 4.3)
root (unary operator), refers to the root item of the current item's hierarchy. This expression allows access to values or properties of the highest-level item in the entire structure, regardless of how deeply nested the current item is ("root(%C0)", retrieves the caption of the first column for the root item) (@since 4.3)

By default, the GroupByFormatCell property is set to:

"(exp(``) ? `<b>` : ``) + value + (0:=get(`count(current,rec,1)`) ? (` <fgcolor gray>(` + =:0 + `)`) : ``)"

which displays the group-by value in bold if the group-item is expanded, followed by the count of items within the group in gray color.

"" {string}, the default group-by value gets displayed once the column gets grouped by
"upper(value)" {string}, the default group-by value (in upper case) gets displayed once the column gets grouped by
"value + ` <fgcolor gray>` + get(`count(current,rec,1)`)" {string}, the default group-by value plus the count of items within the group gets displayed once the column gets grouped by

The HasButtons property shows or hides the expand/collapse glyphs (+/- buttons to expand-collapse the item). The items can still be expanded/collapsed by double-clicking the item. The expand/collapse glyphs are shown only if the item has child items. The HasLines property customizes the color, width and style of the control's hierarchy-lines. The TreeColumnIndex property gets or sets the index or identifier/key/caption of the column that displays the hierarchy. By default, the HasButtons property is true, meaning that the control shows the expand/collapse glyphs.

false {boolean}, hides the expand/collapse glyphs (+/- buttons to expand-collapse the item)
true {boolean}, shows the expand/collapse glyphs (+/- buttons to expand

The HasLines property customizes the color, width and style of the control's hierarchy-lines. The TreeColumnIndex property gets or sets the index or identifier/key/caption of the column that displays the hierarchy. The HasButtons property shows or hides the expand/collapse glyphs (+/- buttons to expand-collapse the item). The HasLines property specifies the color, width and style of the control's hierarchy-lines as an object of {width, color, style, cap, join} type as explained:

width {number}, specifies the line's width or size (1 by default)
color {string}, indicates the line's color (partial-black by default)
style {number[]}, specifies the dash pattern to show the lines (dotted by default)
cap {("butt"|"round"|"square")}, determines the shape used to draw the end points of lines ("butt", the ends of lines are squared off at the endpoints by default)
join {("bevel"|"round"|"miter")}, determines the shape used to join two line segments where they meet ("miter", connected segments are joined by extending their outside edges to connect at a single point, with the effect of filling an additional lozenge-shaped area. by default)

By default, the control shows hierarchy-lines with partial-black color, 1-pixel width and dotted style.

null {null}, no hierarchy lines are shown
{width: 2, color: "red", style: [4,2], cap: "round", join: "bevel"} {object}, shows hierarchy-lines with red color, 2-pixels width, dashed style, round line-caps and bevel line-joins

The HeaderEnabled property enables or disables the control's header(includes the control's sortbar or floatbar). While disabled the user can't move, resize, sort or drag and drop the columns by drag and drop. The HeaderHeight property gets or sets the height to display the control's header. The HeaderVisible property shows or hides the control's header. By default, the HeaderEnabled property is set to true, which enables the control's header.

false {boolean} or 0 {number}, disables the control's header
true {boolean} or 1 {number}, enables the control's header

The HeaderHeight property gets or sets the height to display the control's header. The header displays the header of each visible-columns. The HeaderVisible property shows or hides the control's header. The HeaderEnabled property enables or disables the control's header(includes the control's sortbar or floatbar). By default, the HeaderHeight property is set to 24, which indicates that the height of the control's header is 24 pixels.

0 {number}, hides the control's header
24 {number}, indicates that the height of the control's header is 24

The HeaderVisible property shows or hides the control's header. The header displays the header of each visible-columns. The HeaderHeight property specifies the height to display the control's header. The HeaderEnabled property enables or disables the control's header(includes the control's sortbar or floatbar). The HeaderVisible property supports the following values:

exHeaderHidden(0), the control's header is hidden exHeaderVisible(-1), the control's header is visible exHeaderVisibleExtendLevels(1), the control's header is visible, and each column's header is extended to cover all levels of the header

By default, the HeaderVisible property is set to exHeaderVisible(-1), which shows the control's header.

false {boolean} or 0 {number}, hides the control's header
-1 {number} or Gantt.HeaderVisibleEnum.exHeaderVisible {number}, shows the control's header
true {boolean} or 1 {number}, shows the control's header (each column's header is extended to cover all levels of the header)

The HoistItem property defines the control's hoisted item, promoting it along with all its visible children to the top level without altering its content or properties.

By default,

• hoisting an item also displays all of its parent rows up to the root. To restrict the view so that only the hoisted item and its visible children are shown, set the FilterInclude property to exMatchingItemsOnly
• when an item is hoisted, all of its child rows are automatically expanded. To preserve their original expand/collapse state, use the Layout property to save the current layout before changing the hoist, and restore it immediately afterward.

For reference, the Selection property specifies the currently selected row, while the Item property retrieves the row by its index.

The HoistItem property could be any of the following:

• {null}, removes any existing hoisted item and returns the control to its default state
• {number}, indicates a numeric value that defines the index of the hoisted item
• {string}, specifies a string expression that defines the identifier/key of the hoisted item
• {Item}, specifies the object reference to the hoisted item

By default, if no hoisted item is defined, the HoistItem property is set to null or undefined.

0 {number}, hoists the first item (index 0)
"id" {string}, hoists the item with the identifier/key "id"
item {Item}, hoists the item referenced by the Item object

The ImageAlign property gets or sets the alignment of the cell's image. The Column.ImageAlign property takes priority over the control's ImageAlign property, and the Cell.ImageAlign property takes priority over the Column.ImageAlign property. When the Cell.ImageAlign property is null, the alignment falls back to the Column.ImageAlign property, and if the Column.ImageAlign property is also null, the control's ImageAlign property is used. The alignment can be one of the following:

• 0, the image is on the left of the cell's caption
• 1, the image is on the right of the cell's caption
• 2, the image is on the top of the cell's caption
• 3, the image is on the bottom of the cell's caption

The Cell.Image property gets or sets the cell's individual image. The Column.FormatImage property defines the expression to determine the images the column display. The Column.Image property sets or gets the column's image. By default, the ImageAlign property is set to 0 (the image is aligned left to the caption).

null {null}, the image is aligned left to the caption (default)
1 {number}, the image is displayed to the right of the cell's caption

The ImageSize property gets or sets the size of the cell's image. The size can be defined as explained:

• {null}, Indicates that the cell's image is displayed as it is (full-sized).
• {number}, Specifies that the cell's image is displayed into a square of giving size (same width and height). If 0 the item displays no image, if negative the cell's image is stretched to giving square, else the item's picture is scaled to fit the giving rectangle.
• {number[]}, Specifies an array of [aspect-width,aspect-height] type that defines the limits for width or/and height. The aspect-width and aspect-height define the width/height of the item's picture to scale or stretch to.

The Column.ImageSize property takes priority over the control's ImageSize property, and the Cell.ImageSize property takes priority over the Column.ImageSize property. When the Cell.ImageSize property is null, the size falls back to the Column.ImageSize property, and if the Column.ImageSize property is also null, the control's ImageSize property is used. In short, the size priority is: Cell -> Column -> Control. By default, the ImageSize property is set to 16.

null {null}, Indicates that the cell's image is displayed as it is (full-sized).
0 {number}, no image is displayed
64 {number}, the image is scaled to fit a 64 x 64 rectangle
-64 {number}, the image is strected to a 64 x 64 rectangle
[32,64] {array}, scales the image to the largest ratio-rectangle (32 x 64) that fits the client
[-32,-64] {array}, stretches the image to a 32 x 64 rectangle

The ItemAllowSizing property determines whether all or none of the item are resizable or fixed. The allowActions field must include "item-resize" action to enable item resizing. The "item-resize[all]" action enables resizing all items, while the missing "item-resize" action disables resizing for all items. The Item.AllowSizing property can override this property for individual items. If allowActions property does not include "item-resize" action, then no item can be resized regardless of the ItemAllowSizing property value. The "item-resize[all]" action takes precedence over the ItemAllowSizing property. The DefaultItemHeight property is updated if the user resizes the item at runtime by drag an drop (AllowActions property must include "item-resize[all]"). By default, the ItemAllowSizing property is set to false, which makes all items non-resizable.

false {boolean}, none of the items are resizable (unless the Item.AllowSizing property is true)
true {boolean}, all of the items are resizable (unless the Item.AllowSizing property is false)

The Items property returns the control's items. The Items property is equivalent with GetItems() method. The Add or Remove methods of the Items object could be used to add or remove items from the control. The Columns property returns the control's columns. The Add or Remove methods of the Columns object could be used to add or remove columns from the control. The Import or Data method loads data into the control, and the Export method extracts data from the control, all in a specific format. The ConditionalFormats property returns the control's conditional formats. The Add or Remove methods of the ConditionalFormats object could be used to add or remove conditional formats from the control.

The following statements are equivalents:

 oGantt.GetItems(), returns the control's items
 oGantt.Items, returns the control's items

where oGantt is an object of Gantt type

The Layout property gets/sets the UI layout of the object. The Layout property is equivalent with GetLayout()/SetLayout() methods. Currently, the control's Layout property serializes the following:

• layout of windows (size, dock, parent)
• pattern of the control's filter-prompt
• view's horizontal and vertical scroll position
• column's width, visibility, position, expand/collapse state, sort-order, sort-position, filter, filter-type
• selected, expanded/collapsed items
• control's zoom

The following statements are equivalents:

oGantt.GetLayout(), gets the control's layout
oGantt.Layout, gets the control's layout

where oGantt is an object of Gantt type

The LinesAtRoot property links items at the root of the hierarchy. The LinesAtRoot property specifies whether the root items are connected with a line. The TreeColumnIndex property gets or sets the index or identifier/key/caption of the column that displays the hierarchy. The HasLines property customizes the color, width and style of the control's hierarchy-lines. The HasButtons property shows or hides the expand/collapse glyphs (+/- buttons to expand-collapse the item). By default, the LinesAtRoot property is set to exNoLinesAtRoot (0), meaning that no lines are shown at root items.

0 or exontrol.Gantt.LinesAtRootEnum.exNoLinesAtRoot {number}, no lines at root items
-1 or exontrol.Gantt.LinesAtRootEnum.exLinesAtRoot {number}, the control links the root items

The Listeners field defines the events of the control, as an object of exontrol.Lts type. The exontrol.Lts type supports forEach(callback, thisArg) method that helps you to enumerate the events the control supports. The on() method adds an event listener to the specified event or defines a keyboard shortcut. The on() method enables you to listen for events and execute custom code when those events occur, or to define keyboard shortcuts that trigger specific actions within the component. You can use the on() method to enhance the interactivity and functionality of your application by responding to user actions or keyboard inputs. Use the off() method to remove previously bound event handlers or keyboard shortcuts. The Events section lists the events the component supports.

The following sample shows how you can get all events the component currently supports:

oGantt.Listeners.forEach(function(name)
{
 console.log(name);
});

The following sample displays information about the item being clicked:

oGantt.Listeners.Add("onclick", function (oEvent)
{
 console.log(oEvent);
});

or

oGantt.on("click", function (oEvent)
{
 console.log(oEvent);
});

where oGantt is an object of Gantt type

The Locked property locks or unlocks the control. The user can't select any item, sort any column, or edit any item when the control is locked(protected). The ReadOnly property sets the control in read-only mode. While in read-only mode, the user can't edit or drag any item. The CountLockedColumns property locks columns on both the left and right sides of the view using a single byte in {high, low} format. The Item.Lock property locks or unlocks the item, placing it at the top, bottom, or making it scrollable. The ShowLockedItems property indicates whether the locked/fixed items are visible or hidden. By default, the control is unlocked. The Locked property can be get or set using the GetLocked() and SetLocked() methods.

false {boolean}, unlocks the control (can select any item)
true {boolean}, locks the control (can't select any item)

The Margins property specifies the control's margins, which define the indentation between a parent and its children. The TreeColumnIndex property gets or sets the index or identifier/key/caption of the column that displays the hierarchy. The HasButtons property shows or hides the expand/collapse glyphs (+/- buttons to expand-collapse the item). The Margins property can be get or set using the GetMargins() and SetMargins() methods. By default, the Margins property is set to null, which indicates an indentation of 16-pixels between a parent and its children.

null {null}, the control uses the default indentation of 16-pixels between a parent and its children
{indent: 0} {object}, specifies no indentation between a parent and its children
{indent: 24} {object}, specifies an indentation of 24-pixels between a parent and its children

The OnErrorChooseFile property specifies whether the control displays an input-file to let user choose a local filte to import, as soon as an error occurs. The onerror event occurs when an error occurs during the loading of the control, such as when the data source is not accessible or when the file being imported has an unsupported format. If the OnErrorChooseFile property is set to true, the control displays an input-file to let user choose a local file to import, as soon as an error occurs. If the user selects a file and clicks "Open", the control attempts to import the selected file using the Import method, based on the file extension. If the OnErrorChooseFile property is set to false, no input-file is displayed as soon an error occurs. The ChooseFile() method clears the control's data and adds an input-file element to let user choose a local file (CSV or XML format) to import data from. By default, the OnErrorChooseFile property is set to true, so the control displays an input-file to let user choose a local file to import, as soon as an error occurs.

false {boolean}, no input-file is displayed as soon an error occurs
true {boolean}, the control displays an input-file to let user choose a local filte to import, as soon as an error occurs

The Options property specifies the control's general settings. By default, the control's oTV field determines its default tree-view, so the GetOptions and SetOptions methods of the oTV field are used to retrieve or update the control's options. The Options property functions identically to calling GetOptions/SetOptions on the oTV field. Each option corresponds to a specific Get/Set... method of the view, meaning that updating an option is equivalent to invoking the related Get/Set... method. For example, setting the allowGroupBy option is the same as calling the view's GetAllowGroupBy()/SetAllowGroupBy(value) methods.

The following statements are equivalents:

 oGantt.SetOptions({ allowGroupBy: true }), sets the allowGroupBy option to true
 oGantt.Options = { allowGroupBy: true }, sets the allowGroupBy option to true
 oGantt.oTV.SetAllowGroupBy(true), sets the allowGroupBy option to true

where oGantt is an object of Gantt type

The Pad property gets or sets the item's padding or the space between item's content and its borders. The Column.Pad property takes priority over the control's Pad property, and the Cell.Pad property takes priority over the Column.Pad property. When the Cell.Pad property is null, the padding falls back to the Column.Pad property, and if the Column.Pad property is also null, the control's Pad property is used. In short, the padding priority is: Cell -> Column -> Control. By default, the Pad property is set to null that indicates the default padding value of [4,4] is applied. The value can be:

• {number} a numeric value, to pad horizontal and vertical size with the same value
• {(string|number[])} a "x,y" or [x,y] type to specify the padding on horizontal and vertical side

By default, the Pad property is set to null that indicates the default padding value of [4,4] is applied.

null {null}, indicates that the default padding value of [4,4] is applied
0 {number}, indicates no padding
"8,4" {string}, increases the item's width with 2 * 8-pixels and item's height with 2 * 4-pixels
[8,4] {array}, increases the item's width with 2 * 8-pixels and item's height with 2 * 4-pixels

The ReadOnly property sets the control in read-only mode. While in read-only mode, the user can't edit or drag any item. The user can still select item. The Locked property locks or unlocks the control. The user can't select any item, sort any column, or edit any item when the control is locked(protected). By default, the ReadOnly property is set to false (the control is editable). The ReadOnly property can be get or set using the GetReadOnly() and SetReadOnly() methods.

false {boolean}, the user can edit or drag any item
true {boolean}, the user can not edit or drag the items

The ScrollBars property specifies how the scroll-bars are being displayed into the control. You can use the ScrollBars property to show or hide the control's scroll bars. The ScrollBars property is equivalent with GetScrollBars/SetScrollBars methods. The ScrollBars property uses the exontrol.ScrollBarsEnum enumeration as explained:

• exNoScroll (0), specifies that no scroll bars are shown (scroll is not allowed)
• exHorizontal (1), specifies that only the horizontal scroll bar is shown
• exVertical (2), specifies that only the vertical scroll bar is shown
• exBoth (3), specifies that both horizontal and vertical scroll bars are shown if the content is larger than the control's client area
• exDisableNoHorizontal (5), specifies that the horizontal scroll bar is always shown; it is disabled if it is unnecessary
• exDisableNoVertical (10), specifies that the vertical scroll bar is always shown; it is disabled if it is unnecessary
• exDisableBoth (15), specifies that both horizontal and vertical scroll bars are always shown; they are disabled if they are unnecessary
• exHScrollOnThumbRelease (0x100), specifies that the control's content is horizontally scrolled as soon as the user releases the thumb of the horizontal scroll bar
• exVScrollOnThumbRelease (0x200), specifies that the control's content is vertically scrolled as soon as the user releases the thumb of the vertical scroll bar
• exScrollOnThumbRelease (0x300), specifies that the control's content is scrolled as soon as the user releases the thumb of the scroll bar
• exHScrollEmptySpace (0x400), allows empty space when the control's content is horizontally scrolled to the end
• exVScrollEmptySpace (0x800), allows empty space when the control's content is vertically scrolled to the end
• exScrollEmptySpace (0xC00), allows empty space when the control's content is scrolled to the end
• exExtendSBS (0x3000), specifies that the control's scroll bars are visible only when the cursor hovers the window; the control's client area is extended over the scroll bar portion
• exMinSBS (0xC000), specifies that the control's scroll bars are shown as minimized
• exHideSBS (0x10000), specifies that no scroll bars are shown (scroll is allowed)

The ScrollPos property scrolls horizontally and/or vertically the control's default view. The onscroll event is fired when the user scrolls the view by mouse, touch or keyboard, or when the view's scroll is changed programmatically by ScrollPos property. By default, the ScrollBars property is set to exBoth value, so both horizontal and vertical scroll bars are shown if the content is larger than the control's client area.

exontrol.ScrollBarsEnum.exBoth or 3 {number}, specifies that both horizontal and vertical scroll bars are shown if the content is larger than the control's client area
exontrol.ScrollBarsEnum.exNoScroll or 0 {number}, specifies that no scroll bars are shown (scroll is not allowed)

The ScrollPos property scrolls horizontally and/or vertically the control's default view. The onscroll event is fired when the user scrolls the view by mouse, touch or keyboard, or when the view's scroll is changed programmatically by ScrollPos property. The ScrollPos property accepts an object of {x,y} type that defines the control's horizontal and vertical scroll-position. Alternatively, a number value could be specified to set the vertical scroll position only (@since 5.1) as explained:

x {number}, indicates the horizontal scroll-position (in pixels)
y {number}, indicates the vertical scroll-position (in pixels)

The ScrollBars property specifies how the scroll-bars are being displayed into the control.

{x:0, y:100} {object}, scrolls the control's default view to horizontal position 0 and vertical position 100 (in pixels)
200 {number}, scrolls the control's default view to vertical position 200 (in pixels)

The Selection property gets or sets the control's selection. The Selection property can be used as a getter or setter. The SingleSel property gets or sets the control's selection to single, multiple or toggle. The Item.Selected property defines whether the item is selected. The onselchange event is raised when the selection is changed. The Selection property is equivalent to GetSelection() and SetSelection() methods. The Selection supports any of the following values:

• {null}, clears the entire selection (unselect all)
• {number}, selects an item giving index within the items collection
• {string}, selects an item giving its identifier/key
• {Item}, selects an item giving its reference
• {Items}, selects all items within the control
• {array}, specifies an array of [type] type, where type could be any number, string or Item type.

The following statements are equivalents:

oGantt.Selection, gets the control's selection
oGantt.GetSelection(), gets the control's selection

oGantt.Selection = value, sets the control's selection
oGantt.SetSelection(value), sets the control's selection

where oGantt is an object of Gantt type

The Shapes property specifies the shapes assigned to each part of the control. These shapes define the visual appearance of the control's elements, such as borders, fills, and other graphical components. By setting this property, you can fully customize how the control is drawn and displayed. The Cell.Shape property changes the shape for the cell itself. The Column.CellShape property gets or sets the shape to apply on the column's body/data/cells. The Item.Shape property defines the shape for the item itself. The Column.Shape property changes the shape for the column itself (column's header).

The format of the property is:

"shape(part),shape(part),..."

where:

• "shape", defines the shape to apply on the UI part as one of the following:

  ◦ any of 140 color names any browser supports (such as red, blue, green, ...)
  ◦ hexadecimal colors, is specified with: #RRGGBB, where the RR (red), GG (green) and BB (blue) hexadecimal integers specify the components of the color. All values must be between 00 and FF (such as #0000ff which defines a blue background)
  ◦ hexadecimal colors with transparency, is specified with: #RRGGBBAA, where AA (alpha) value must be between 00 and FF (such as #0000ff80 which defines a semi-transparent blue background)
  ◦ RGB colors, is specified with the RGB(red, green, blue) function. Each parameter (red, green, and blue) defines the intensity of the color and can be an integer between 0 and 255( such as rgb(0,0,255) that defines a blue background)
  ◦ RGBA colors, are an extension of RGB color values with an alpha channel as RGBA(red, green, blue, alpha) function, where the alpha parameter is a number between 0.0 (fully transparent) and 1.0 (fully opaque) ( such as rgba(0,0,255,0.5) which defines a semi-transparent blue background)
  ◦ HSL colors, is specified with the HSL(hue, saturation, lightness) function, where hue is a degree on the color wheel (from 0 to 360) - 0 (or 360) is red, 120 is green, 240 is blue. saturation is a percentage value; 0% means a shade of gray and 100% is the full color. lightness is also a percentage; 0% is black, 100% is white. HSL stands for hue, saturation, and lightness - and represents a cylindrical-coordinate representation of colors (such as hsl(240, 100%, 50%) that defines a blue background)
  ◦ HSLA colors, are an extension of HSL color values with an alpha channel - which specifies the opacity of the object as HSLA(hue, saturation, lightness, alpha) function, where alpha parameter is a number between 0.0 (fully transparent) and 1.0 (fully opaque) (such as hsla(240, 100%, 50%,0.5) that defines a semi-transparent blue background)
  ◦ a JSON representation of the shape object to apply (while it starts with { character, such as '{"normal": {"primitive": "RoundRect","fillColor":"black","tfi": {"fgColor": "white"}}}')
  ◦ specifies the name of the field within the exontrol.Shapes.Gantt object (while it starts with a lowercase letter, such as shitem which refers to exontrol.Shapes.Gantt.shitem shape)
  ◦ specifies the name of the field within the exontrol.Shapes object (while it starts with an uppercase letter, such as Button which refers to exontrol.Shapes.Button shape)
  

• "part", defines the name of the part the shape is applied on (as defined below)

The Shortcuts field defines the shortcuts of the control, as an object of exontrol.Sts type. The Shortcuts field defines the shortcuts of the control, as an object of exontrol.Sts type. The on() method enables you to listen for events and execute custom code when those events occur, or to define keyboard shortcuts that trigger specific actions within the component. You can use the on() method to enhance the interactivity and functionality of your application by responding to user actions or keyboard inputs. Use the off() method to remove previously bound event handlers or keyboard shortcuts. In order to provide keyboard support for the component, the owner <canvas> element must include the tabIndex attribute, as <canvas ... tabIndex="0">. You can associated a function or a callback to any shortcut.

The following sample removes the selection (calls the RemoveSelection() method) once the user presses the Delete key:

oGantt.Shortcuts.Add( "Delete", oGantt.RemoveSelection, oGantt );

where oGantt is an object of Gantt type

The ShowLockedItems property indicates whether the locked/fixed items are visible or hidden. The locked/fixed items are displayed on top or bottom side of the view based on the Item.Lock property that specifies or retrieves the section of the control where the item is placed - either locked at the top, scrollable, or locked at the bottom. The locked/fixed items are not affected by sorting or grouping operations. The SetLockedItemsCount() method specifies the number of items fixed on the top or bottom side of the control. The ShowLockedItems property is set to true by default, which makes the locked/fixed items visible.

false {boolean}, the control's locked/fixed items are not shown
true {boolean}, the control's locked/fixed items are visible

The SingleSel property gets or sets the control's selection to single, multiple or toggle. The SingleSel property accepts an OR combination of Gantt.SingleSelEnum flags that specifies how user can select items. The SingleSel property can be used as a getter or setter. The SingleSel property is equivalent to GetSingleSel() and SetSingleSel() methods. The Item.Selected property defines whether the item is selected. The onselchange event is raised when the selection is changed. The onselchange event is raised when the selection is changed. By default, the SingleSel property is set to exontrol.Gantt.SingleSelEnum.exEnableSel, which enables multiple-selection.

0 or exontrol.Gantt.SingleSelEnum.exDisableSel {number}, disables selecting any item
3 or exontrol.Gantt.SingleSelEnum.exSingleSel | exontrol.Gantt.SingleSelEnum.exEnableSel {number}, enables control's single selection, so only a single item can be selected
6 or exontrol.Gantt.SingleSelEnum.exToggleSel | exontrol.Gantt.SingleSelEnum.exSingleSel {number}, enables control's single and toggle selection, which means that once a item is selected it gets unselected once it is clicked, or reverse, and only a single-item can be selected at once.

The SingleSort property specifies whether the control supports single or multiple-columns sort. The Sorts/GetSorts()/SetSorts(value) {string}, sorts(groups) multiple-columns at once giving a string-representation such as "1:A 2:D, 0:A". By default, the control supports multiple-columns sort. The Column.AllowSort property specifies whether the column is sortable. The Column.SortOrder property gets or sets the column's sort-order. The AllowGroupBy property specifies whether the control supports group-by view. The onchange("sort-column") event notifies that a column has been sorted through user interaction by clicking its header. The Column.AllowGroupBy property specifies whether the column can be grouped by.

false {boolean}, specifies that the control supports one ore more sorted-columns
true {boolean}, the control supports single-column sorts only

The SortBarCaption property gets or sets the caption to be shown on the control's sortbar when it is empty. The caption supports HTML tags for formatting. The SortBarVisible/GetSortBarVisible()/SetSortBarVisible(value) {boolean}, shows or hides the control's sortbar. The sortbar displays the header of each sorted/grouped-columns. The Sorts/GetSorts()/SetSorts(value) {string}, sorts(groups) multiple-columns at once giving a string-representation such as "1:A 2:D, 0:A". By default, the control's sortbar shows the caption "Drag a column header here to sort by that column." when no columns has been dropped onto it.

null {null}, the control's sortbar shows the default-caption
"Drag a <b>column</b> header here to group by that column." {string}, changes the caption to be displayed on the control's sortbar while it is empty.

The SortBarVisible property shows or hides the control's sortbar. The sortbar displays the header of each sorted/grouped-columns. The SortBarCaption/GetSortBarCaption()/SetSortBarCaption(value) {string}, specifies the caption to be shown on the control's sortbar when it is empty. The Sorts/GetSorts()/SetSorts(value) {string}, sorts(groups) multiple-columns at once giving a string-representation such as "1:A 2:D, 0:A". The AllowGroupBy property specifies whether the column can be grouped by. By default, the control's sortbar is hidden.

false {boolean}, hides the control's sortbar
true {boolean}, shows the control's sortbar

The SortOnClick property indicates whether the column gets sorted once the user clicks its header as a value of exontrol.Gantt.SortOnClickEnum type. The Gantt.SortOnClickEnum type defines the following values:

• exNoSort(0), the column is not sorted when user clicks the column's header.
• exDefaultSort(-1), The column gets sorted when user the clicks the column's header.
• exUserSort(-1), The control displays the sort icons, but it doesn't sort the column (not supported)

By default, the SortOnClick property is set to exDefaultSort, meaning that the column gets sorted once the user clicks its header.

null {null}, specifies the control's default sort on click, equivalent of exDefaultSort
0 {number}, no column gets sorted once the user clicks any column's header

The Statistics property gives statistics data of objects being hold by the control. The Statistics property returns a string such as:

Size: 1,536x754
Zoom: 100%
Column: 4/4
Item: 32/55
Cell: 128/220
Sel: 1

Chart.Item-Bar: 138/220
Chart.Link: 13/20
Chart.Sel: 25

The Tfi property defines the font attributes that are applied to the control's captions and can be set to customize their appearance. The Tfi property can be set by a string such as "b monospace 16" or by an object such as {bold: true, fontName: "monospace", fontSize: 16}, and immediately applies these settings to update the displayed captions. By default, the Tfi property is null, so the canvas uses its own default font defined by exontrol.defGUIFont (typically "12px sans-serif"). CSS fonts applied to surrounding HTML elements do not affect the canvas; the canvas text is independent of page styles, and the default font can be changed by setting exontrol.defGUIFont.

The value as {string} supports any of the following keywords (each keyword can be specified using first letters only such as "b" for "bold) separated by space characters:

• bold, displays the text in bold (equivalent of <b> tag)

  • blend {number}, defines the gradient blend as a value between 0 and 1

CSSColor or CSS legal color values can be specified by the following methods:

• Hexadecimal colors, is specified with: #RRGGBB, where the RR (red), GG (green) and BB (blue) hexadecimal integers specify the components of the color. All values must be between 00 and FF. For example, #0000ff value is rendered as blue, because the blue component is set to its highest value (ff) and the others are set to 00.
• Hexadecimal colors with transparency, is specified with: #RRGGBBAA, where AA (alpha) value must be between 00 and FF. For example, #0000ff80 defines a semi-transparent blue.
• RGB colors, is specified with the RGB(red, green, blue) function. Each parameter (red, green, and blue) defines the intensity of the color and can be an integer between 0 and 255. For example, rgb(0,0,255) defines the blue color.
• RGBA colors, are an extension of RGB color values with an alpha channel as RGBA(red, green, blue, alpha) function, where the alpha parameter is a number between 0.0 (fully transparent) and 1.0 (fully opaque). For example, rgba(0,0,255,0.5) defines a semi-transparent blue.
• HSL colors, is specified with the HSL(hue, saturation, lightness) function, where hue is a degree on the color wheel (from 0 to 360) - 0 (or 360) is red, 120 is green, 240 is blue. saturation is a percentage value; 0% means a shade of gray and 100% is the full color. lightness is also a percentage; 0% is black, 100% is white. HSL stands for hue, saturation, and lightness - and represents a cylindrical-coordinate representation of colors. For example, hsl(240, 100%, 50%) defines the blue color.
• HSLA colors, are an extension of HSL color values with an alpha channel - which specifies the opacity of the object as HSLA(hue, saturation, lightness, alpha) function, where alpha parameter is a number between 0.0 (fully transparent) and 1.0 (fully opaque). For example, hsla(240, 100%, 50%,0.5) defines a semi-transparent blue.
• Predefined/Cross-browser color names, 140 color names are predefined in the HTML and CSS color specification. For example, blue defines the blue color.

null {null}, the tfi field is ignored
"bold monospace 16 <fg blue>" {string}, defines Monospace font of 16px height, bold and blue
{bold: true, fontName: "monospace", fontSize: 16, fgColor: "blue"} {object}, defines Monospace font of 16px height, bold and blue

The ToolTipDelay property gets or sets how long the mouse pointer must point to an object before the tool tip appears. The ToolTipDelay property accepts a number value that specifies how long the mouse pointer must point to an object before the tool tip appears. The ToolTipDelay property is measured in milliseconds. The ToolTipPopDelay property gets or sets the period in ms of time the tool top remains visible if the mouse pointer is stationary within a control. The ToolTipWidth property gets or sets the width of the tooltip window, in pixels. The default value is 500 ms.

0 {number}, the tooltip is shown "immediately"
128 {number}, the tooltip is displayed in 128 ms.

The ToolTipPopDelay property gets or sets the period in ms of time the tool top remains visible if the mouse pointer is stationary within a control. The ToolTipPopDelay property is expressed in milliseconds. The ToolTipDelay property defines how long the mouse pointer must hover over an object before the tooltip appears. The ToolTipWidth property specifies the width of the tooltip window in pixels.

The property supports the following values:

• 0 {number}, no tooltip is shown for any object (disabled)
• -1 {number}, the tooltip stays indefinitely (negative)

300 {number}, the tooltip's max-width is 300 pixels

The TreeColumnIndex property gets or sets the index or identifier/key/caption of the column that displays the hierarchy. The HasButtons property shows or hides the expand/collapse glyphs (+/- buttons to expand-collapse the item). The HasLines property customizes the color, width and style of the control's hierarchy-lines. The Margins property specifies the control's margins, which define the indentation between a parent and its children. By default, the TreeColumnIndex property is set to 0, which displays the hierarchy within the first column (index 0).

null {null}, no column displays the hierarchy.
0 {number}, the column with the index 0, displays the hierarchy (displays the expand/collapse glyphs)
"xxx" {string}, the column with the key or plain-caption on "xxx" displays the hierarchy.

The WheelChange property gets or sets the amount by which the control scrolls when the user rolls the mouse wheel. You can access or modify this property using the GetWheelChange() and SetWheelChange() methods. By default, WheelChange is set to 18. Setting WheelChange to 0 disables any action from the mouse wheel. When the user rolls the mouse wheel, the control scrolls by the amount specified in WheelChange. Holding SHIFT while scrolling causes the control to scroll horizontally.

0 {number}, locks any action the mouse's wheel performs
18 {number}, scrolls the control by 18-pixels when mouse's wheel is rotated (SHIFT + wheel scrolls horizontally)

The Zoom property defines the zoom factor of the control's content. The zoom factor determines how much the control's content is magnified or reduced. Once the user adjusts the browser's zoom level, the control automatically recalculates its zoom factor to maintain the correct scaling of its content. The ZoomLevels property defines the allowed zoom levels the user can select from. By default, the Zoom property is set to null, indicating a normal view (100% zoom).

null {null}, Specifies normal-view (100%)
150 {number}, Indicates that the control's content is magnfied to 150%

The ZoomLevels property defines the allowed zoom levels the user can select from, as a list of numbers separated by comma. The Zoom property defines the zoom factor of the control's content. The zoom factor determines how much the control's content is magnified or reduced. Once the user adjusts the browser's zoom level, the control automatically recalculates its zoom factor to maintain the correct scaling of its content.

null {null}, Specifies that the control's zoom factor is always 100%
150 {number}, Specifies that the control's zoom factor is always 150%
"50,100,200,350" {string}, Indicates that the zoom-factor can be any of selected values, and the margins of zoom-factor is 50% to 350%

The oGV field defines the base gantt-view of control. The gantt-view defines the chart area of the control, where the items are displayed. The gantt-view includes the time-scale and the grid lines. The gantt-view is used to display the items in a time-based manner, so it is required to set at least one gantt-view to display the items in the control. Once you set a gantt-view, you can use its methods and properties to customize it. For instance, you can use the GV.Zoom() method to zoom the gantt-view to display only the items between September 1, 1994 and October 1, 1994, as Zoom("#9/1/1994#", "#10/1/1994#"). Use the AddGanttView() method to add a new gantt-view to the control. Use the RemoveGanttView() method removes a gantt-view already created by AddGanttView() method. By default, the control includes a single gantt-view that displays the items using a day-based time-scale, named "gantt", which cannot be removed.

The oTV field defines the base tree-view of control. The tree-view displays a view of the control's items and columns. The control can display multiple views. Each view can display different columns but the same set of items. For instance, the SetScrollPos(), GetScrollPos() methods can be used to set/get the scroll-position of a specific view. Use the AddTreeView() method to add a new view to the control. Use the RemoveTreeView() method removes a tree-view already created by AddTreeView() method. The TreeView() method returns a specific tree-view by its name. By default, the control provides a single tree view named tree, accessible through the oTV field, and this view cannot be removed.

The following statements are equivalent:

 oGantt.oTV.SetScrollPos({x: 100}); // sets the horizontal scroll-position of the default tree-view to 100
 oGantt.ScrollPos = {x: 100}; // sets the horizontal scroll-position of the default tree-view to 100

where oGantt is an object of Gantt type

The AddGanttView() method creates a new view to display bars. A gantt-view displays item-bars, links between item-bars, time-scales, grid-lines, and so on. The RemoveGanttView() method removes the chart-view already created by the AddGanttView() method. The GanttView() method retrieves a reference to an existing gantt-view. By default, the control includes a single chart-view named "gantt", that is created automatically when the control is initialized.

oGantt.AddGanttView("2nd", {Size: 256,}) {GV}, creates a new gantt-view named "2nd", with initial width of 256 pixels

The AddTreeView() method creates a new view to display the columns/items. Use the RemoveTreeView() method removes a tree-view already created by AddTreeView() method. The TreeView() method returns a tree-view by name. A tree-view displays the items and columns in a specific way. The control supports multiple tree-views, each with its own configuration for displaying items and columns. By default, the control includes a single tree-view named "tree", accessible directly through the oTV field. The RemoveTreeView() method cannot remove the control's default tree-view.

oGantt.AddTreeView("2nd",{Background: "black", Foreground: "white", Dock: 3}) {TV}, creates a new tree-view named "2nd", with black background, white foreground and docked to the left side of the control.

The ApplyFilter() method (re-)applies the control's filter (if any). The onfilter event notifies your application once the control's filter has been changed. The onfilter event is triggered when the user applies a new filter or clears the existing filter. The Column.DisplayFilterButton properyy specifies whether the column shows the filter-button. The Column.Filter property filters for items based on values within this column. Column.The FilterList property specifies whether the column's drop down filter list includes visible or all items. The ChangeFilter() method changes the column's filter and filterType at once (validates the view and applies the filter once).

oGantt.ApplyFilter(), (re-)applies the control's filter (if any)

The Bar() method retrieves a bar by index, name, or reference. Calling Bar(name) is equivalent to Bars.Item. It returns a Bar object that defines a bar type supported by the Chart. The name parameter can be a numeric index, a string representing the bar's name, or a reference to a bar object. If no matching bar is found, the method returns null. The ItemBar() method retrieves an item-bar for a specified item and key, returning an ItemBar object. It is equivalent to Item.ItemBar and is used to access the item-bars associated with the control's items. The Bars property returns the control's bars as a Bars collection. This collection contains the predefined bar types available in the chart. Each bar acts as a template that defines how a task, milestone, or other item is displayed in the chart area. The BarOptions type specifies a bar's properties, such as height, shape, captions, and more. In this case, the bar inherits all properties from the referenced bar and may override any of them in its own definition.

The following statements are equivalents:

   oGantt.Bar("Task") {Bar}, returns the "Task" bar
   oGantt.Chart.Bar("Task") {Bar}, returns the "Task" bar
   oGantt.Chart.Bars.Item("Task") {Bar}, returns the "Task" bar

where oGantt is an object of Gantt type

The BeginUpdate() method suspends the control's render until the EndUpdate() method is called. It maintains performance, while multiple changes occurs within the control. The BeginUpdate() method is mostly used when you want to perform multiple changes to the control without refreshing the control after each change, and once all changes are performed, you can call the EndUpdate() method to refresh the control. For instance, you can use the BeginUpdate()/EndUpdate() methods when you want to add multiple items to the control, so instead of refreshing the control after adding each item, you can call the BeginUpdate() method before adding the items, and once all items are added, you can call the EndUpdate() method to refresh the control. You can use the Update() method to perform multiple changes at once. The Smooth() method performs a smooth-transition from a layout to another. The BeginUpdate/EndUpdate() methods are not required to be called when you use the Update() or Smooth() methods, because the methods already maintain performance while performing multiple changes to the control.

oGantt.BeginUpdate();
  // performs multiple changes to the control
oGantt.EndUpdate();

The Cell() method returns the cell based on the item and column. The Cell property is equivelent with calling Item(item).Cell(column) method, but with no need to check whether the item and column exist, as the Cell() method returns null if either the item or column is not found, or if the cell does not exist for the giving item and column. The Cell() method supports retrieving a cell by specifying the item and column using their index, identifier/key, or object reference. The Column() method returns the column based on its index or identifier/key. The Item() method returns the item based on its index or identifier/key.

The following statements are equivalents:

 oGantt.Cell(0, 0), gets the cell of the first item and the first column
 oGantt.Cell("item1", "column1"), gets the cell of the item with identifier/key "item1" and the column with identifier/key/caption/plain-caption "column1"
 oGantt.Cell(oItem, oColumn), gets the cell of the item specified by the object reference oItem and the column specified by the object reference oColumn

where oGantt is an object of Gantt type, oItem is an object of Item type and oColumn is an object of Column type

The ChooseFile() method clears the control's data and adds an input-file element to let user choose a local file (CSV or XML format) to import data from. The OnErrorChooseFile property specifies whether the control displays an input-file to let user choose a local filte to import, as soon as an error occurs. The onerror event occurs when an error occurs during the loading of the control, such as when the data source is not accessible or when the file being imported has an unsupported format.

oGantt.ChooseFile("message"); // displays "message" as an error to the user, and adds an "input-file" element to let user selects a local file to import into the control

The Clear() method clears the control's data (columns, items and filter). The ClearFilter() method is called within the Clear() method to remove the control's filter as well. The Columns.Clear method is used to clear all the columns and items of the control. The Items.Clear method is used to clear all the items of the control. The Import() method imports data from CSV/XML format. The Data property gets or sets the control's data.

oGantt.Clear(); // clears the control's data (columns, items and filter)

The ClearFilter() method clears the control's filter (if any). The onfilter event notifies your application once the control's filter has been changed. The onfilter event is triggered when the user applies a new filter or clears the existing filter. The Column.DisplayFilterButton properyy specifies whether the column shows the filter-button. The Column.Filter property filters for items based on values within this column. Column.The FilterList property specifies whether the column's drop down filter list includes visible or all items. The ChangeFilter() method changes the column's filter and filterType at once (validates the view and applies the filter once). The ClearFilter() method is called within the Clear() method to remove the control's filter as well.

oGantt.ClearFilter(), clears the control's filter (if any)

The CollapseAll() method collapses all items. The ExpandAll() method expands or collapses all items based on the giving parameter (true to expand, false to collapse). The CollapseAll() method is equivalent with calling ExpandAll(false). The Item.Expanded property specifies whether the item is expanded or collapsed. The ExpandAll() method is useful when you want to expand or collapse all items at once, without the need to iterate over them one by one.

oGantt.CollapseAll(), collapses all items
 oGantt.ExpandAll(false), collapses all items

The Column() method returns the column based on its index or identifier/key. The Column(id) method is equivalent with Columns.Item(id) method. The Cell() method returns the cell based on the item and column. The Item() method returns the item based on its index or identifier/key. The feC and feCU methods (short for forEachColumn, forEachColumnUntil) enumerates the columns of the control.

The following statements are equivalents:

 oGantt.Column(0), gets the first column
 oGantt.Column("column1"), gets the column with identifier/key/caption/plain-caption "column1" 

where oGantt is an object of Gantt type

The ConditionalFormat() method gets the conditional format by index, key or reference. The ConditionalFormat(id) method is equivalent with ConditionalFormats.Item(id) method. The conditional format allows changing the appearance of cells or items based on specific conditions. The Conditional.Shape property defines the visual-appearance of the cell when the condition is met, and it accepts the same values of the Shapes property, such as backgroundColor, fontColor, fontStyle and so on.

The following statements are equivalents:

 oGantt.ConditionalFormat(0), gets the first conditional format
 oGantt.ConditionalFormat("cf1"), gets the conditional format with identifier/key "cf1"

where oGantt is an object of Gantt type

The EndUpdate() method resumes the control's render, after it is suspended by the BeginUpdate() method. The EndUpdate() method is mostly used after calling the BeginUpdate() method, to refresh the control after performing multiple changes to the control. You can use the Update() method to perform multiple changes at once. The Smooth() method performs a smooth-transition from a layout to another. BeginUpdate/EndUpdate() methods are not required to be called when you use the Update() or Smooth() methods, because the methods already maintain performance while performing multiple changes to the control.

oGantt.BeginUpdate();
 // performs multiple changes to the control
oGantt.EndUpdate();

The EnsureVisibleClient() method ensures that the giving object/client fits the control's client area. The client can be any of the following: column, item, cell, item-bar, or an absolute-coordinates of a layout-rectangle. The EnsureVisibleSelection() method scrolls the control's content to ensure that the control's selection fits the control's client area. The ScrollPos property scrolls horizontally and/or vertically the control's default view. The ScrollTo() method scrolls the chart to ensure that specified date fits the chart's area. The EnsureVisibleClient() method applies to both the items section and the chart section.

oGantt.EnsureVisibleClient(-1, {expandParents: 1}), ensures that the current selection fits the control's client area, and expands the parent-item(s) as well
oGantt.EnsureVisibleClient(oItemBar, {allowScroll: 1}), ensures that the specified item-bar fits the control's client area, allowing horizontal scroll only

The EnsureVisibleSelection() method scrolls the control's content to ensure that the control's selection fits the control's client area. The EnsureVisibleClient() method ensures that the giving object/client fits the control's client area. The ScrollPos property scrolls horizontally and/or vertically the control's default view. The Chart.ScrollTo() method scrolls the chart to ensure that specified date fits the chart's area. The EnsureVisibleSelection() method applies to both the items section and the chart section.

oGantt.EnsureVisibleSelection({expandParents: 1}), ensures that the current selection fits the control's client area, and expands the parent-item(s) as well

The ExpandAll() method expands all items. The CollapseAll() method collapses all items. The ExpandAll() method is equivalent with calling ExpandAll(true), while the CollapseAll() method is equivalent with calling ExpandAll(false). The Item.Expanded property specifies whether the item is expanded or collapsed. The ExpandAll() method is useful when you want to expand or collapse all items at once, without the need to iterate over them one by one.

oGantt.ExpandAll(), expands all items
 oGantt.ExpandAll(false), collapses all items

The Export() method exports the control's data as an array or CSV format. The GetData() method is equivalent with Export() method. The exportOpts parameter of the Export() method allows you to specify the items and columns to export, and the type of data to export for each column. The Import() method imports data from CSV/XML format. The LoadXML() method loads an XML document (previously saved by an exontrol component). The Data property gets(exports) or sets(imports) the control's data. The Export() method extends the extree's Export() method. The ExportOptions type defines default options to export data.

oGantt.Export() or Export({}), {[[any]]} returns the control's data as an array of [[value]] type,
oGantt.Export({format: "CSV"}), {string} returns the control's data as a string in CSV format

The FindItem() method searches for an item by its caption in a specified column. If start is provided, the search begins from the given item. The Item property gets the item based on its index, key/identifier or reference, and the Column property gets the column based on its index, key/identifier or reference. The Cell() method returns the cell based on the item and column. The feI and feIU methods (short for forEachItem, forEachItemUntil) enumerates the items of the control.

FindItem(10248) {Item}, returns undefined if 10248 is not found in the first column, or returns the item
FindItem('Filimon', 'Last', 10) {Item}, searches the 'Last' column for the exact caption 'Filimon' starting after the item with index 10, and returns the item or undefined if not found
FindItem('Mihai', 'First') {Item}, searches the 'First' column for the exact caption 'Mihai' starting from the first item, and returns the item or undefined if not found

The FitToClient() method ensures that the entire (null/undefined) or giving layout fits the control's client area. The FitToClient() method performs the required scroll and zoom operations to fit the entire or giving layout into the control's client area. The FitToClient() method performs a smooth transition while fitting the entire or giving layout into the control's client area, if the smooth option is set to a value greater than zero. The FitToClient() method can be used as a default action for double-click on the control's background or as a callback for a button to reset the zoom and scroll to fit the entire layout into the control's client area. The ScrollPos property scrolls horizontally and/or vertically the control's default view. The onscroll event is fired when the user scrolls the view by mouse, touch or keyboard, or when the view's scroll is changed programmatically by ScrollPos property. The Zoom property defines the zoom factor of the control's content.

oGantt.FitToClient(), ensures that the entire layout fits the control's client area by performing the required scroll and zoom operations with a smooth transition (if the smooth option is set to a value greater than zero)
 oGantt.FitToClient([0,0,1000,1000]), ensures that the layout defined by the absolute-coordinates of [0,0,1000,1000] fits the control's client area by performing the required scroll and zoom operations with a smooth transition (if the smooth option is set to a value greater than zero)  

The GanttView() method gets the gantt-view by name (which was previously created by the AddGanttView method). The RemoveGanttView() method removes the chart-view already created by the AddGanttView() method. By default, the "gantt" defines the control's default-gantt view. The GanttView("gantt") always returns the control's default-gantt view, equivalent of oGV member.

oGantt.GanttView("gantt") {GV}, gets the control's default-gantt view
oGantt.GanttView("2nd") {GV}, gets the gantt-view named "2nd"

The GetCanvas() method returns the HTMLCanvasElement object where the control is currently running on. The control is always running on a canvas, which is the canvas of the control's canvas-window (exontrol.CW). The GetCanvas() method is useful when you need to access the canvas directly. You can also use the GetCanvas() method to retrieve the canvas's context and perform custom drawing operations using the Canvas API. It is recommended to call the exontrol.CC.Resize(<canvas>, [width], [height]) method to resize and refresh the control; otherwise, the control's content is lost.

exontrol.CC.Resize( oGantt.GetCanvas(), 800, 600 ); // resizes the control's canvas to 800x600 pixels

The GetLockedItem() method gets a locked item giving its index or identifier/key. The Item.Lock property specifies or retrieves the section of the control where the item is placed - either locked at the top, scrollable, or locked at the bottom (@since 4.6). The GetLockedItemsCount() method gets the number of items fixed on the top or bottom side of the control. The SetLockedItemsCount() method specifies the number of items fixed on the top or bottom side of the control.

oGantt.GetLockedItem(false, 0); // gets the first locked item on the top side of the control
  oGantt.GetLockedItem(true, "itemKey"); // gets the locked item with the identifier/key "itemKey" on the bottom side of the control

The GetLockedItemsCount() method gets the number of items fixed on the top or bottom side of the control. The Item.Lock property specifies or retrieves the section of the control where the item is placed - either locked at the top, scrollable, or locked at the bottom (@since 4.6). The locked/fixed items are not affected by sorting or grouping operations. The SetLockedItemsCount() method specifies the number of items fixed on the top or bottom side of the control.

oGantt.GetLockedItemsCount(false); // gets the number of locked items on the top side of the control

The Home() method zooms to 100% and scrolls the control to origin (0,0). The Home() method is used when the entire layout fits the control's client area, so no zoom is required, just scroll to origin (0,0). The Home() method can be used as a default action for double-click on the control's background or as a callback for a button to reset the zoom and scroll to default values. The ScrollPos property scrolls horizontally and/or vertically the control's default view. The onscroll event is fired when the user scrolls the view by mouse, touch or keyboard, or when the view's scroll is changed programmatically by ScrollPos property. The Zoom property defines the zoom factor of the control's content.

oGantt.Home(), zooms to 100% and scrolls the control to origin (0,0)

The Import() method imports data from CSV/XML format. The LoadXML() method loads an XML document (previously saved by an exontrol component). The SetData(value) method is equivalent with Import(value) method. The Import() method can import data from various types of sources, such as a URL, a string in CSV or XML format, an array of values, or a local file dropped into the control. The Import() method also supports different options to specify how to import data into the control, such as whether to clear previously data of the control, where to insert new items, how to parse CSV string, and so on. The onload event occurs once the data is loaded. The onload event is fired even if the data is changed by user interaction (drop a file) or programmatically. The onerror event occurs if the data is not loaded successfully. The onerror event is fired even if the data is changed by user interaction (drop a file) or programmatically. The Import method extends the extree's Import() method.

"xml/datasource.xml" {string}, imports data from datasource.xml file
"Item 1.1,SubItem 1.2\r\nItem 1.2,SubItem 2.2" {string}, creates two columns and two rows
{items: {value: "Machine", bars: {name: "Task", start: "#01/10/2024#", end: "#01/15/2024#"}}} {object}, inserts a 'Task' bar for a new item labeled 'Machine' (@since 3.2)
{items: [{value: "Machine 1", bars: {name: "Task", start: "#01/10/2024#", end: "#01/15/2024#"}}, {value: "Machine 2", bars: {name: "Task", start: "#01/16/2024#", end: "#01/21/2024#"}}], links: {from: 0, to: 1}} {object}, Creates two items, each with its own task bar, and establishes a link between them (@since 3.2)

The Item() method returns the item based on its index or identifier/key. The Item(id) method is equivalent with Items.Item(id) method. The Cell() method returns the cell based on the item and column. The Column() method returns the column based on its index or identifier/key. The FindItem() method searches for an item by its caption in a specified column. The feI and feIU methods (short for forEachItem, forEachItemUntil) enumerates the items of the control.

The following statements are equivalents:

 oGantt.Item(0), gets the first item
 oGantt.Item("item1"), gets the item with identifier/key "item1"

where oGantt is an object of Gantt type

The ItemBar() method returns the item-bar based on the item and its key, as an object of ItemBar type (equivalent of Item.ItemBar method). The item parameter can be a numeric index, a string representing the identifier/key of the item, or a reference to the item object itself. The key parameter specifies the key of the item-bar to request. If no matching item-bar is found, the method returns null. The AddBar() method adds a bar for the current item, and returns an object of ItemBar type. The RemoveBar() method removes a bar of the current item giving its key. The ClearBars() method clears all bars of the item.

The following statements are equivalents:
 
   oGantt.ItemBar(0, "Task") {ItemBar}, returns the item-bar with key "Task" of the first item
   oGantt.Item(0).ItemBar("Task") {ItemBar}, returns the item-bar with key "Task" of the first item
 
where oGantt is an object of Gantt type

The Link() method gets the link giving its index, identifier/key or reference. The links are the connections between bars in the chart, and they are represented as objects of Link type. The Link() method allows you to retrieve a specific link based on its index, identifier/key, or reference. If no matching link is found, the method returns null. The Links collection contains all the links in the chart and provides methods to manage them, such as adding new links or removing existing ones. The Add method of the Links collection allows you to create a new link between two bars, while the Remove method enables you to delete a specific link. The Clear method removes all links from the chart.

The following statements are equivalents:

 oGantt.Link(0) {Link}, returns the first link
 oGantt.Link("Link1") {Link}, returns the link with identifier/key/plain-caption "Link1"
 oGantt.Link(oLink) {Link}, returns the link specified by the reference oLink

where oGantt is an object of Gantt type

The LoadXML() method loads an XML document (previously saved by an exontrol component). The Import(source, importOpts) method can also load XML documents using the LoadXML() method if the source is an XML string (must begins with 'onload event occurs once the data is loaded. The onload event is fired even if the data is changed by user interaction (drop a file) or programmatically. The onerror event occurs if the data is not loaded successfully. The onerror event is fired even if the data is changed by user interaction (drop a file) or programmatically.

oGantt.LoadXML("xml/datasource.xml") {string}, imports data from datasource.xml file

The PutRes() method synchronizes the resources of the source control with the target control based on the Resources/GetResources()/SetResources(value) method of the ItemBar object. In order to use the PutRes method the Source control must:

• specify the activity/bar's resources using the Resources/GetResources()/SetResources(value) method of the ItemBar object

The PutRes(exPutResLoad) method updates the Target as follows:

• adds the "Resources" column (nothing happens if the PutRes method was already called, or the Target control already contains a column with the Key "Resources")
• adds a new item with the name of the resource for each resource found ('resources' of ItemBar) in the Source control ( R1, R2, ... )
• adds a new bar for each activity/bar in the Source control, that uses the specified resource, where the 'percent' and 'effort' properties of ItemBar indicate the usage of the resource (numeric expression between 0 and 1 ). During the onbarresizing event, if a histogram view is implemented for the Target control, the 'effort' property should be adjusted to reflect the 'percent' value.

The PutRes(exPutResSave) method updates the Source control as follows:

• updates the 'start' and 'end' margins of the activity/bar in the Source control based on its associated bar in the Target control
• updates the 'resources' property in the Source control with the new resource usage indicated by the 'percent' property in the Target control

oSource.PutRes(oTarget), updates and lists the resources of the Source control to the Target control (Source => Target)
 oSource.PutRes(oTarget, "save"), updates the resources of the Source control from the Target control (Target => Source)
 

The Refresh() method forces the control to redraw and update its layout without modifying any of its properties or data. It is typically used when the visual appearance needs to be recalculated or repainted, even though no structural or state changes were made.

For example, call Refresh() when:

• The control's container has been resized and the layout must be recalculated.
• External CSS or styling changes affect the control's appearance.
• The control becomes visible after being hidden.
• You need to ensure the UI is visually synchronized with its current internal state.

The method does not alter the control's data, options, or configuration - it only updates the rendered output.

You can use the Update() method to perform multiple changes at once. The Smooth() method performs a smooth-transition from a layout to another. The Refresh() method is not required to be called when you use the Update() or Smooth() methods, because the methods already maintain performance while performing multiple changes to the control.

oGantt.Refresh(), refreshes the control

The RemoveGanttView() method removes the chart-view already created by the AddGanttView() method. The GanttView() method gets the gantt-view by name (which was previously created by the AddGanttView method). By default, the "gantt" defines the control's default-gantt view, and it can not be removed.

oGantt.RemoveGanttView("2nd"); {void}, removes the gantt-view named "2nd"

The RemoveSelection() method deletes the selected-items. The RemoveSelection() method removes the selected items (including descendent items) from the control, and clears the control's selection. The RemoveSelection() method returns the number of the items being deleted. The UnselectAll() method clears the control's selection. The Items.Remove or Remove method removes the item one by one, and the RemoveSelection() method is more efficient to remove multiple items at once, because it clears the control's selection before remove items. The onremoveitem event is fired once for each item being removed, and the onremoveitem event is fired once after all items are removed.

The RemoveTreeView() method removes the view already created by the AddTreeView() method. The AddTreeView() method creates a new view to display the columns/items. The TreeView() method gets the tree-view by name (which was previously created by the AddTreeView() method). The TreeView("tree") returns the control's default-tree view, equivalent of oTV member.

oGantt.RemoveTreeView("2nd"), removes the tree-view named "2nd" previously created by AddTreeView() method.

The Scroll() method scrolls the window based on the giving key. The Scroll() method scrolls the view without changing the selection. The Select method selects the item and scrolls the view to make the selected item visible. The ScrollPos property scrolls horizontally and/or vertically the control's default view. The onscroll event is fired when the user scrolls the view by mouse, touch or keyboard, or when the view's scroll is changed programmatically by ScrollPos property.

The following sample code shows how to scroll the view by a page up or down using the Scroll() method:

 oGantt.on("{PageUp}", oGantt.Scroll.bind(oGantt, "PageUp"));
 oGantt.on("{PageDown}", oGantt.Scroll.bind(oGantt, "PageDown"));

where oGantt is an object of Gantt type

The Select() method selects items based on the key. The Select method selects items based on the giving key, such as "Home", "PageUp", "ArrowUp", "ArrowDown", "PageDown" or "End". The Select() method selects only visible and selectable items. The Select() method is useful to select items by using shortcut keys, and it can be called once a key is pressed. The Select() method does not change the control's selection if there is no visible and selectable item based on the giving key. The SelectAll method selects all items within the control, and the UnselectAll method clears the control's selection. The RemoveSelection method deletes the selected-items. The Selection property gets or sets the control's selection. The Item.Selected property defines whether the item is selected. The onselchange event is raised when the selection is changed.

The following sample selects up or down item once the user presses "ArrowUp" or "ArrowDown" key:

 oGantt.on("{Up}", oGantt.Select.bind(oGantt, "Up"));
 oGantt.on("{Down}", oGantt.Select.bind(oGantt, "Down"));

where oGantt is an object of Gantt type

The SelectAll(toSelect) method selects all items within the control. The Select() method selects items based on the key. The Select method selects items based on the giving key, such as "Home", "PageUp", "ArrowUp", "ArrowDown", "PageDown" or "End". The Select() method selects only visible and selectable items. The Select() method is useful to select items by using shortcut keys, and it can be called once a key is pressed. The Select() method does not change the control's selection if there is no visible and selectable item based on the giving key. The SelectAll method selects all items within the control, and the UnselectAll method clears the control's selection. The RemoveSelection method deletes the selected-items. The Selection property gets or sets the control's selection. The Item.Selected property defines whether the item is selected. The onselchange event is raised when the selection is changed.

oGantt.SelectAll("vis"); // selects the visible items only (for instance, it does not select items that does not match the filter)

The SetLockedItemsCount() method specifies the number of items fixed on the top or bottom side of the control. The Item.Lock property specifies or retrieves the section of the control where the item is placed - either locked at the top, scrollable, or locked at the bottom (@since 4.6). The locked/fixed items are not affected by sorting or grouping operations. The method adds or removes the locked items based on the specified value. If the value is less than the current number of locked items, then the method removes the extra locked items starting from the last locked item. If the value is greater than the current number of locked items, then the method adds new locked items at the end of the locked items collection. The SetLockedItemsCount() method returns the last locked-item as an object of Item type.

oGantt.SetLockedItemsCount(false, 2); // specifies that there are 2 locked items on the top side of the control
  oGantt.SetLockedItemsCount(true, 0);   // specifies that there is no locked item on the bottom side of the control

The Smooth() method performs a smooth-transition from a layout to another. The smooth-transition goes from the current layout to the new layout generated by the callback. The BeginUpdate/EndUpdate() methods are not required to be called when you use the Update() or Smooth() methods, because the methods already maintain performance while performing multiple changes to the control.

oGantt.Smooth(function()
 {
  // performs multiple changes to the control, such as removing or adding new items to the control
 })

The Soom() method zooms or/and scrolls the control's content. The Soom() method is used when the entire layout does not fit the control's client area, so zoom and/or scroll is required. The Soom() method can be used as a default action for double-click on the control's background or as a callback for a button to reset the zoom and scroll to default values. The ScrollPos property scrolls horizontally and/or vertically the control's default view. The onscroll event is fired when the user scrolls the view by mouse, touch or keyboard, or when the view's scroll is changed programmatically by ScrollPos property. The Zoom property defines the zoom factor of the control's content.

oGantt.Soom(100, [0,0]), zooms to 100% and brings the origin (0,0) at its original position (Home)

The TreeView() method gets the tree-view by name (which was previously created by the AddTreeView() method). The RemoveTreeView() method removes a tree-view already created by AddTreeView() method. The TreeView("tree") returns the control's default-tree view, equivalent of oTV member.

oGantt.TreeView("tree") {TV}, gets the control's default-tree view, equivalent of oTV member.
oGantt.TreeView("2nd") {TV}, gets the tree-view named "2nd" previously created by AddTreeView() method.

The UnselectAll() method clears the control's selection. The SelectAll method selects all items within the control, and the UnselectAll method clears the control's selection. The RemoveSelection method deletes the selected-items. The Selection property gets or sets the control's selection. The Item.Selected property defines whether the item is selected. The onselchange event is raised when the selection is changed.

oGantt.UnselectAll(); // clears the control's selection

The Update() method locks the control's paint during the callback, and invalidates the control once the method ends. The BeginUpdate/EndUpdate() methods are not required to be called when you use the Update() or Smooth() methods, because the methods already maintain performance while performing multiple changes to the control. The BeginUpdate/EndUpdate() methods are not required to be called when you use the Update() or Smooth() methods, because the methods already maintain performance while performing multiple changes to the control. The BeginUpdate/EndUpdate() methods are not required to be called when you use the Update() or Smooth() methods, because the methods already maintain performance while performing multiple changes to the control.

oGantt.Update(function()
{
 // performs multiple changes to the control
});

The feC() method (short for forEachColumn) invokes the callback for each column of the control (enumerates the columns, as they were added). The Column() method returns the column based on its index or identifier/key. The feCU() method (short for forEachColumnUntil) invokes the callback for each column of the control, until the callback returns a truthy value (enumerates the columns, as they were added).

The following sample enumerates all columns of the control:

oGantt.feC(function(oColumn)
{
  console.log(exontrol.ToString.Quote(oColumn));
})

The feCU() method (short for forEachColumnUntil) invokes the callback for each column of the control, until the callback returns a truthy value (enumerates the columns, as they were added). The feC() method (short for forEachColumn) invokes the callback for each column of the control (enumerates the columns, as they were added). The Column() method returns the column based on its index or identifier/key.

The feI() method (short for forEachItem) invokes the callback for each item of the control (unscrolled(top,bottom items) and scrolled items as well) (enumerates the items, as they were added). The Item() method returns the item based on its index or identifier/key. The FindItem() method searches for an item by its caption in a specified column. The feIU() method (short for forEachItemUntil) invokes the callback for each item of the control (unscrolled(top,bottom items) and scrolled items as well), until the callback returns a truthy value (enumerates the items, as they were added).

The following sample enumerates all items of the control:

oGantt.feI(function(oItem, index)
{
 console.log(exontrol.ToString.Quote(oItem));
})

The feIB() method (short for forEachItemBar) calls the callback for every item bar of the control, including both unscrolled (top and bottom) and scrolled items. The feIBU() method (short for forEachItemBarUntil) invokes the callback for each item-bar of the control (unscrolled(top,bottom items) and scrolled items as well), until the callback returns a not-empty value. The feI() method (short for forEachItem) invokes the callback for each item of the control (unscrolled(top,bottom items) and scrolled items as well) (enumerates the items, as they were added). The feIU() method (short for forEachItemUntil) invokes the callback for each item of the control (unscrolled(top,bottom items) and scrolled items as well), until the callback returns a truthy value (enumerates the items, as they were added). The AddBar method adds an item-bar to an item, which can be retrieved by the feIB() method.

The following sample displays the start date of each item-bar of the control:

 oGantt.feIB(function(oItemBar)
 {
  console.log(oItemBar.Start);
 })

where oGantt is an object of Gantt type

The feIBU() method (short for forEachItemBarUntil) invokes the callback for each item-bar of the control (unscrolled(top,bottom items) and scrolled items as well), until the callback returns a not-empty value. The feIB() method (short for forEachItemBar) calls the callback for every item bar of the control, including both unscrolled (top and bottom) and scrolled items. The feI() method (short for forEachItem) invokes the callback for each item of the control (unscrolled(top,bottom items) and scrolled items as well) (enumerates the items, as they were added). The feIU() method (short for forEachItemUntil) invokes the callback for each item of the control (unscrolled(top,bottom items) and scrolled items as well), until the callback returns a truthy value (enumerates the items, as they were added). The AddBar method adds an item-bar to an item, which can be retrieved by the feIBU() method.

The following sample displays the item-bar with duration greater than 4, as soon as it is found:

 console.log( oGantt.feIBU(function(oItemBar)
 {
   return oItemBar.Duration > 4 && oItemBar;
 }))

where oGantt is an object of Gantt type

The feIU() method (short for forEachItemUntil) invokes the callback for each item of the control (unscrolled(top,bottom items) and scrolled items as well), until the callback returns a truthy value (enumerates the items, as they were added). The feI() method (short for forEachItem) invokes the callback for each item of the control (unscrolled(top,bottom items) and scrolled items as well) (enumerates the items, as they were added). The Item() method returns the item based on its index or identifier/key. The FindItem() method searches for an item by its caption in a specified column.

The following sample searches for the item with "10248" caption in the first column and displays it:

console.log(
  oGantt.feIU(function(oItem, index)
  {
    return oItem.Cell(0) == "10248" && oItem
  })
);

The feL() method (short for forEachLink) invokes the callback for each link of the control. The feLU() method (short for forEachLinkUntil) invokes the callback for each link of the control, until the callback returns a not-empty value. The Links.Add() method adds a link between item-bars, which can be retrieved by the feL() method.

The following sample displays the type of each link of the control:

 oGantt.feL(function(oLink)
 {
  console.log(oLink.Type);
 })

where oGantt is an object of Gantt type

The feLU() method (short for forEachLinkUntil) invokes the callback for each link of the control, until the callback returns a not-empty value. The feL() method (short for forEachLink) invokes the callback for each link of the control. The Links.Add() method adds a link between item-bars, which can be retrieved by the feL() method.

The following sample displays the first link with type "Finish-Start", as soon as it is found:

 console.log( oGantt.feLU(function(oLink)
 {
  return oLink.Type == 2 && oLink;
 }))

where oGantt is an object of Gantt type

The off() method removes a previously bound handler from a specified event, allowing you to stop listening for that event and prevent the associated actions from being executed. Also removes keyboard shortcuts previously defined using the on() method. The event name is case-insensitive and may or may not include the 'on' prefix. For example, 'click' is equivalent to 'onclick' and vice versa. If the event parameter is missing/empty/undefined, all event handlers are removed from the control. If the listener parameter is missing/empty/undefined, all handlers of the specified event are removed. If the method parameter is missing/empty/undefined, the listener[type]() function is used to compare and remove the handler(s).

The following example removes the click event handler from the control:

 oGantt.off("click");

where oGantt is an object of Gantt type.

This sample is equivalent to:

 oGantt.Listeners.Remove("onclick");

The following example removes all event handlers from the control:

 oGantt.off();

where oGantt is an object of Gantt type.

This sample is equivalent to:

 oGantt.Listeners.Clear();

or

 oGantt.Listeners.Remove();

The on() method adds an event listener to the specified event or defines a keyboard shortcut. The on() method enables you to listen for events and execute custom code when those events occur, or to define keyboard shortcuts that trigger specific actions within the component. You can use the on() method to enhance the interactivity and functionality of your application by responding to user actions or keyboard inputs. Use the off() method to remove previously bound event handlers or keyboard shortcuts.

The following example logs event details when the control is clicked:

oGantt.on("click", function(oEvent)
{
  console.log(oEvent);
});

where oGantt is an object of Gantt type.

This sample is quivalent of 

oGantt.Listeners.Add("onclick", function (oEvent)
{
  console.log(oEvent);
});

The onaddcolumn() method occurs once a new column has been added to the control. The Columns.Add method adds a new column to the control, and once the column is added, the onaddcolumn() method is called. You can use the onaddcolumn() method to be notified once a new column has been added to the control, and for instance, display the new column in your application.

The following samples display the column being added:

oGantt.onaddcolumn = function (oEvent)
{
 console.log(oEvent);
}

or

oGantt.Listeners.Add("onaddcolumn", function (oEvent)
{
 console.log(oEvent);
})

or

oGantt.on("addcolumn", function (oEvent)
{
 console.log(oEvent);
})

where oGantt is an object of Gantt type

The onaddgroupitem() method notifies the control once a group-item is added. The GroupItem/GetGroupItem() method indicates a group-item if zero or positive (specifies the index of the column that has been grouped by). The AllowGroupBy property specifies whether the user can group by dragging a column's header into the control's sortbar. When the user groups by dragging a column's header into the control's sortbar, the onaddgroupitem event is triggered for each new group-item created as a result of grouping. For instance, if the user groups by a column that has three unique values, three group-items are created and added to the control's items collection, and consequently, the onaddgroupitem event is triggered three times, once for each new group-item added.

The following samples display the group-item being added:

oGantt.onaddgroupitem = function (oEvent)
{
 console.log(oEvent);
}

or

oGantt.Listeners.Add("onaddgroupitem", function (oEvent)
{
 console.log(oEvent);
})

or

oGantt.on("addgroupitem", function (oEvent)
{
 console.log(oEvent);
})

where oGantt is an object of Gantt type

The onadditem() method notifies your application that a new item has been added to the control. The Items.Add method adds a new item to the control, and once the item is added, the onadditem() method is called. You can use the onadditem() method to be notified once a new item has been added to the control, and for instance, display the new item in your application. The Item.Add method adds a new child item to a specific item, and once the child-item is added, the onadditem() method is called. You can use the onadditem() method to be notified once a new child-item has been added to a specific item, and for instance, display the new child-item in your application.

The following samples display the item being added:

oGantt.onadditem = function (oEvent)
{
 console.log(oEvent);
}

or

oGantt.Listeners.Add("onadditem", function (oEvent)
{
 console.log(oEvent);
})

or

oGantt.on("additem", function (oEvent)
{
 console.log(oEvent);
})

where oGantt is an object of Gantt type

The onallowlink event occurs to querry if a link between two bars is possible. The Links.Add() method creates and adds a link between two bars. The oncreatelink event notifies your application once the user creates a link between two bars. You can use the onallowlink event to prevent creating a link between two bars, by setting the cancel attribute of the oEvent on true.

The following samples cancels adding any links:

oGantt.onallowlink = function (oEvent)
{
 oEvent.cancel = true;
}

or

oGantt.Listeners.Add("onallowlink", function (oEvent)
{
 oEvent.cancel = true;
})

or

oGantt.on("allowlink", function (oEvent)
{
 oEvent.cancel = true;
})

The onbarparentchange event occurs once the item-bar is about to be moved to a new item, by drag. The ItemBar.Parent property gets the item that hosts the item bar. The onbarparentchange event is useful to prevent moving an item-bar from an item to another, by setting the cancel attribute of the oEvent on true. The ItemBar.Start property gets the date-time the bar starts from. The ItemBar.End property gets the date-time the bar ends to. The onbarresize event is triggered after the user finishes dragging an item-bar to move or resize it. The onbarresizing event occurs while the user is resizing or moving an item-bar by drag.

The following samples display the bar's new item once it is moved to another item:

oGantt.onbarparentchange = function (oEvent)
{
 console.log(oEvent.newItem);
}

or

oGantt.Listeners.Add("onbarparentchange", function (oEvent)
{
 console.log(oEvent.newItem);
})

or

oGantt.on("barparentchange", function (oEvent)
{
 console.log(oEvent.newItem);
})

The onbarresize event occurs once the user resizes or moves an item-bar by drag. The ItemBar.Start property gets the date-time the bar starts from. The ItemBar.End property gets the date-time the bar ends to. The onchange("chart-object") event is triggered when a user drags an item-bar to move or resize it. The onbarresizing event occurs while the user is resizing or moving an item-bar by drag.

The following samples display information about the bar being moved or resized, by drag and drop:

oGantt.onbarresize = function (oEvent)
{
 console.log(oEvent);
}

or

oGantt.Listeners.Add("onbarresize", function (oEvent)
{
 console.log(oEvent);
})

or

{
 console.log(oEvent);
})

where oGantt is an object of Gantt type

The onbarresizing event occurs while the user is dragging an item-bar to move or resize it. During this event, the ItemBar.Start and ItemBar.End properties return the current start and end date-time of the bar. This event can be used to display the changing position and size of the item-bar while it is being dragged. The onbarresize event is triggered after the user finishes dragging the item-bar to move or resize it. If the user cancels the drag operation (for example, by pressing the ESC key or clicking outside the control), the onbarresizing(cancel) event occurs, and the item-bar returns to its original position and size. The oncreatebar event occurs after the user creates a new item-bar by dragging. The Item.AddBar(name, start, end, key, text) method adds a bar to the current item and returns an object of type ItemBar.

The following samples display information about the bar being moved or resized, by drag and drop:

oGantt.onbarresizing = function (oEvent)
{
 console.log(oEvent);
}

or

oGantt.Listeners.Add("onbarresizing", function (oEvent)

The oncreatelink event notifies your application once the user creates a link between two bars. The Links.Add() method creates and adds a link between two bars. The onallowlink() method occurs to querry if a link between two bars is possible. The oncreatelink event is useful to synchronize the chart with other controls, like tree-view, or to update data based on the created link between bars.

The following samples display the link being created:

oGantt.oncreatelink = function (oEvent)
{
 console.log(oEvent);

The ondatechange event occurs once the chart's first visible date is changed. The FirstVisibleDate property gets the chart's first visible date. The LastVisibleDate property gets the chart's last visible date. The StartPrintDate property gets the minimum-date for the entire chart (lower date) as undefined (the chart includes no bars) or the minimum-date for the entire chart (lower date). The EndPrintDate property gets the maximum-date for the entire chart (upper date), as undefined (the chart includes no bars) or the maximum-date for the entire chart (upper date). The ondatechange event is useful to synchronize the chart with other controls, like tree-view, or to load data on demand based on the visible date range.

The following samples display the chart's first visible date once it changes:

oGantt.ondatechange = function (oEvent)

The onfilter event notifies your application once the control's filter has been changed. The onfilter event is triggered when the user applies a new filter or clears the existing filter. The Column.Filter property specifies the filter applied on the column. The control's filter is applied by setting a value to the control's filter-bar (if enabled) or by calling the ApplyFilter() method. When the user applies a new filter or clears the existing filter, the onfilter event is triggered as a result of filtering. The Column.DisplayFilterButton property specifies whether the filter button is displayed within the column's header. The FilterBarVisible property specifies whether the control's filter-bar is visible to let the user apply a filter by setting a value to the filter-bar. The ApplyFilter() method applies a filter to the control. The ClearFilter() method clears the control's filter.

The following samples display a message once a filter is applied or cleared:

oGantt.onfilter = function ()
{
 console.log("onfilter");
}

or

oGantt.Listeners.Add("onfilter", function ()
{

The onload() method occurs once the control loads or imports data. The Import method or Data property may trigger the onload event once the control imports data, or when the control loads data from a file. The onload event is also triggered when the control is initialized with data (for instance, when the control is initialized with a non-empty Data property). The onload event is not triggered when the control's data is cleared (for instance, by calling the Clear() method). The onerror event may occur when Import method or Data property import data that is not well-formed, or when the control encounters an error while loading a file (e.g., due to CORS policy or invalid format). The onload event occurs once the control loads or imports data. The OnErrorChooseFile property specifies whether the control displays an input-file to let user choose a local filte to import, as soon as an error occurs.

The following samples display a message once the control loads or imports new data (for instance, the user drags and drops a file into the control):

oGantt.onload = function ()
{
 alert("onload");
}

or

oGantt.Listeners.Add("onload", function ()
{

The onremovecolumn() method notifies your application that a column has been removed from the control. The Columns.Remove method removes a column from the control, and once the column is removed, the onremovecolumn() method is called. You can use the onremovecolumn() method to be notified once a column has been removed from the control, and for instance, remove the column from your application.

The following samples display the column being removed:

oGantt.onremovecolumn = function (oEvent)
{
 console.log(oEvent);
}

or

oGantt.Listeners.Add("onremovecolumn", function (oEvent)

The onselchange() method notifies that the control's selection has been changed (items). The onselchange event is fired once the control's selection has been changed, and the event handler receives the control's selection as a parameter. The oEvent parameter of onselchange event handler holds the control's selection. The Selection property defines the control's selection, and the onselchange event is fired once the Selection property is changed. The onselchange event is fired even if the selection is changed by user interaction or programmatically. The Selected property defines whether the item is selected.

The following samples display the control's selection once it changes:

oGantt.onselchange = function (oEvent)
{
 console.log(oEvent);
}

or

oGantt.Listeners.Add("onselchange", function (oEvent)

The onsort event notifies your application once a column gets sorted or grouped by. The Sorts property specifies the sort order of the columns. When the user clicks a column's header to sort by that column, the onsort event is triggered as a result of sorting. The onsort event notifies the control once the sort order has been changed for one or more columns, for instance, when a new column has been added to the sorter (Column.SortOrder method), a column has been removed from the sorter (Remove() method), a column changes its position within the sorter, or a column changes its sort-order. The AllowGroupBy property specifies whether the user can group by dragging a column's header into the control's sortbar. When the user groups by dragging a column's header into the control's sortbar, the onsort event is triggered as a result of grouping. The AllowSort property specifies whether the column is sortable.

The following samples display the sort-operation once the user sorts or group-by a column:

oGantt.onsort = function (oEvent)
{
 console.log(oEvent);
}

or

oGantt.Listeners.Add("onsort", function (oEvent)
{
