Show multiple tasks on one line in Gantt View

[HyeonSu]

1 . Is it possible to show multiple tasks on the same line in a Gantt View?
For recurring tasks we have a requirement to show each recurring instance on the same line rather than on a new line (as there could be hundreds of recurrences).

 

2. Which version of  Visual Studio support  the Telerik Gantt View? 
( I think 2008 does not support Telerik Gantt View )

 

3. How could I change GanttView Timeline as second ? Is it possible to change? 

 

Thanks , Hyeon

Hello Hyeon, 

Thank you for writing.  

1. Please refer to the following forum thread which is quite useful on this topic: http://www.telerik.com/forums/several-tasks-in-one-line

2. You can find listed all Visual Studio versions that support the whole Telerik UI for WinForms suite, not RadGanttView in particular: http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/installation-deployment-and-distribution/installing-on-your-computer

3. The supported timeline views can be found here: http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/ganttview/timeline/timeline-views
If you need to create a custom one, you can refer to the following help article: http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/ganttview/timeline/custom-timeline

I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions I would be glad to help.

Thank you for answering my questions

1. You said "Please refer to the following forum thread which is quite useful on this topic: http://www.telerik.com/forums/several-tasks-in-one-line" 

 -> In this topic , Stefan said 'You cannot have more than one task on a single row as each row represents a single task which have Start and End. ' It means multiple tasks on the same line is impossible right?

Isn't there anything change(update) 2015 -> 2017 version?

 

2. Does RadChart makes similar to RadGanttView?

Hello HyeonSu, 

Thank you for writing.  

By design, RadGanttView is not supposed to show multiple items on the same row and this functionality is not supported. It is an editing control for project planning data and different types of task and time scheduling. It is purposed to show a single task item per row displaying the relevant information in the grid columns at the left of the graphical view. Additional information about RadGanttView is available in the online documentation: http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/ganttview/ganttview-

As to the second question, note that RadChartView and RadGanttView are quite different controls designed to cover different scenarios. Since RadGanttView is a project planning control, RadChartView is a charting component used to visualize (or plot) some data in a human-readable way through different representations like lines, areas, bars, pies, etc. They can solve different problems. Instead of RadGanttView, I can suggest you use RadScheduler. With it, you can have multiple tasks (events) for a single time slot and you can move or resize them, which changes their start/end. I would recommend you to take a look at the grouping example in our demo application (Scheduler > Grouping). Each group represents a different resource (the example displays names but you can use anything you want) and you can add several tasks, for each one. Detailed information about this feature can be found here: http://www.telerik.com/help/winforms/scheduler-views-grouping-by-resources.html

I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions I would be glad to help.
