Adding child task to another task from withing the grid

[Abhilash]

Hi,

 

Following is my requirement

 1. On load the Gantt is initialized with a default set of tasks called activities

 2. each activities can have one or more child tasks

 3. The child task is added using a Add Task button just below the activity

 4. on click if Add task a new task is added as child to the activity preceeding the Add Task row

 

please find the screen shot attached.

 

I am able to achieve 1 & 3 from a UI perspective

the Add Task row is also a task which is restyled/ retemplated on databound based on a custom task type to remove other task related information and just show an add task link

 I am able to catch the add task click and also get the id of the row but i am not able to add a new task as a child programatically to the above activity

 

These are bits of code i have tried

 

function addTask(adderButtonRowId) {
    var gantt = $("#gantt").data("kendoGantt");
    var task = getNewTask(adderButtonRowId);
    var taskNew = new kendo.data.GanttTask(task);
    gantt.dataSource.add(taskNew);
}

 

However the UI is not rendered as expected. The getNewTask

 method returns a task object with attributes such as parentId, orderId and id set appropriately.

 

Any help appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
