Gantt

DayPilot Scheduler supports Gantt mode:

• You can enable it using ViewType="Gantt".
• In the Gantt mode, it automaticallz creates one row per event from the events supplied in DataSource.
• DataResourceField is not required.

Demo

• Gantt

Example

<DayPilot:DayPilotScheduler ID="DayPilotScheduler1" runat="server" 
        DataStartField="start" 
        DataEndField="end" 
        DataTextField="name" 
        DataValueField="id" 
        ViewType="Gantt"
        >
    </DayPilot:DayPilotScheduler>

Multiple Row Header Columns

You can display multiple columns in the row headers.

The columns can be displayed in both the Resources view and the Gantt view.

Demo

• Row Header Columns

Example:

<DayPilot:DayPilotScheduler ID="DayPilotScheduler1" runat="server" 
        DataStartField="start" 
        DataEndField="end" 
        DataTextField="name" 
        DataValueField="id" 
        DataResourceField="resource" 
        >
        <HeaderColumns>
            <DayPilot:RowHeaderColumn Title="Location" Width="100" />
            <DayPilot:RowHeaderColumn Title="Details" Width="60" />
        </HeaderColumns>
    </DayPilot:DayPilotScheduler>

Header Resizing (Drag&Drop)

The header columns can be resized by dragging the separator line.

After release the mouse button, RowHeaderColumnWidthChanged event will be fired. The column widths are available as a single string (comma-separated values) in RowHeaderColumnWidths property. You can save the new value in the database and use it during the initialization.

Example

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

	if (!IsPostBack)
	{
		DayPilotScheduler1.RowHeaderColumnWidths = "150, 100";  // load it from database
		DayPilotScheduler1.DataSource = getData();
		DataBind();
	}
}

// ...

protected void DayPilotScheduler1_RowHeaderColumnWidthChanged(object sender, HeaderColumnWidthChangedEventArgs e)
{
	// save the new value
	string widths = DayPilotScheduler1.RowHeaderColumnWidths;

	// reload events
	DayPilotScheduler1.DataSource = getData();
	DataBind();

}

Resource Header Customization (BeforeResHeaderRender Event)

The BeforeResHeaderRender event allows to customize each header row, including the additional columns. BeforeResHeaderRender is called one for each resource/row.

This is particulary useful in the Gantt mode.

Demo

• Gantt with Columns

Example

protected void DayPilotScheduler1_BeforeResHeaderRender(object sender, BeforeHeaderRenderEventArgs e)
{
	DateTime start = (DateTime) e.DataItem["start"];
	DateTime end = (DateTime) e.DataItem["end"];
	e.InnerHTML = String.Format("<div style='padding: 0px 4px 0px 2px;'>{0}</div>", e.Name);
	e.Columns[0].InnerHTML = String.Format("<div style='text-align:right; padding: 0px 4px 0px 2px;'>{0}</div>", end - start);
}
