Defaulting to Max Height

[Nathan]

For my GanttView, I'm having an issue where the GanttView is defaulting to the MaxHeight property ( which I set through XAML to 700).
But for some datasets, this leaves a bunch of wasted, white space under the last node.

How do I get it such that the height of the GanttView is what is necessary up to a maximum of 700?

Adding on, I noticed that when MaxHeight is not set, the GanttView will dynamically resize its height as I collapse and expand nodes.  When MaxHeight is set, that functionality is lost.  Is there a way to keep that functionality when MaxHeight is set?

Am I misunderstanding what MaxHeight is meant to do?    I interpreted it as the GanttView can be of height 0 < x <=MaxHeight, not Height = MaxHeight.

Hi Nathan,

The described behavior is caused by our internal implementation of Telerik.Windows.Controls.GanttPresenterPanel. This panel is used as a RadGanttView placeholder. It manages, measures and arranges the GridView part, TimeRuler part, scrollbars, etc. It appears that the MaxHeight property is used as height for the GanttPresenterPanel parts if the Height property is not set.
To allow the RadGanttView to size itself correctly with MaxHeight set, I suggest modifying the GanttItemsPresenterTemplate to place the GanttPresenterPanel inside a Grid with MaxHeight set for its Row. Please find attached a sample project demonstrating this approach. Note that the project uses Implicit Styles.

Please give it a try and let me know whether this is an applicable for your scenario. Looking forward to your reply.
