displaying tiny items without specific dates

[Cliff]

Hi all,

I have C# class called EventHandler that looks like this. StartTime and EndTime both represent the number of seconds since the start of its "parent", which is basically just a list of Events.

 

public class EventHandler
{
    public Event Event;

    public float StartTime => Event.StartTime;
    public float EndTime => Event.EndTime;
}

 

I'm trying to use RadGanttView to display the parent, (i.e. a List<Event>), but since StartTime and EndTime are both relative and don't have specific dates, I'm not sure where to begin. Values are both also typically below 5 seconds. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance!

Hello, Cliff,

RadGanttView offers a number of built-in timeline views which allow you to show the timeline in different scales. Indeed, 5 seconds duration is quite a short duration. For this case, it is suitable to create a custom timeline. Thus, you can achieve the custom requirement that you have. A sample approach is demonstrated in the following help article: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/controls/ganttview/timeline/custom-timeline

An alternative solution is to use RadScheduler which also displays a collection of events. It offers different view which can be displayed in different time scales for the timeline view as well:

Feel free to use this approach which suits your requirement best.

I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.
