Color code for gantt view items

[AMO]

Hi ,

I need some help with assiging a color to each of the items in a GanttTask list.I need to bind this to the background so that different tasks have different colors associated with it .

I am using the following XAML code :

 

 

 

<telerik:RadGanttView VisibleRange="{Binding VisibleRange}" TasksSource="{Binding Tasks}" PixelLength="0:2:0" >

 

 

 

 

<telerik:RadGanttView.Resources>

 

 

 

 

 

<Style TargetType="telerikGantt:EventContainer">

 

 

 

 

<Setter Property="Background" Value="{Binding Path=OriginalEvent.Background1}"></Setter>

 

 

 

 

</Style>

 

 

 

 

</telerik:RadGanttView.Resources>

 

</

 

 

telerik:RadGanttView>

 

I am using a custom class that inherits from GanttTask to bind the GanttView .

 

 

public class CustomTask : GanttTask

 

{

 

 

public CustomTask() :

 

 

 

base()

 

{}

 

 

public CustomTask(DateTime startDate, DateTime endDate, string title) :

 

 

 

base(startDate, endDate, title)

 

{}

 

 

private Brush background;

 

 

 

/// <Summary>Gets or sets Background and notifies for changes</Summary>

 

 

 

public Brush Background1

 

{

 

 

get { return this.background; }

 

 

 

set

 

{

 

 

if (this.background != value)

 

{

 

 

this.background = value;

 

 

 

// this.OnPropertyChanged(() => this.Background);

 

OnNotifyPropertyChanged(

 

"Background1");

 

}

}

}

 

 

protected void OnNotifyPropertyChanged(string p)

 

{

 

 

if (PropertyChanged != null)

 

{

PropertyChanged(

 

this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(p));

 

}

}

 

 

public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;

 

}

The background doesn't change though .I have looked into this forum post http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/silverlight/ganttview/style-gantt-bars.aspx
but couldn't bind the Background property. I have also tried binding the foreground,BorderBrush etc.
Please guide me with this .

Hello Athira,

Please refer to the attached sample project - it contains a WPF and Silverlight projects, both containing GanttView with tasks with different colors.

Hi Athira,

We tried the project I sent you with both the 2012 Q3 and 2012 Q3 SP1 version of RadControls for Silverlight and it works fine. Could you please share with us which version for RadControls for Silverlight do you use?

Kind regards,

Miroslav ,
Also , can you please delete the attached images in the previous post ??Please help out .

Hello Athira,

We deleted the images from the thread.

The problem you are experiencing is because you are working with the Beta version of the GanttView control. I would suggest you to upgrade to the most recent version of RadControls for Silverlight - 2012 Q3 SP1.
