# Today Indicator

The today indicator represents the current date and time in the graphical view of **RadGanttView**. There are two indicators you can show. One is positioned over the timeline and the other is directly over the graphical view.

You can control which one is visible through the **ShowTodayIndicator** and the **ShowTimelineTodayIndicator** properties.

You can also directly access the two indicators:

```C#
GanttViewTodayIndicatorElement todayIndicator = this.radGanttView1.GanttViewElement.GraphicalViewElement.TodayIndicatorElement;
todayIndicator.BackColor = Color.Red;
todayIndicator.BackColor2 = Color.Red;
GanttViewTimelineTodayIndicatorElement timelineTodayIndicator = this.radGanttView1.GanttViewElement.GraphicalViewElement.TimelineTodayIndicatorElement;
timelineTodayIndicator.BackColor = Color.Green;
timelineTodayIndicator.BackColor2 = Color.Green;
```

```VB.NET
Dim todayIndicator As GanttViewTodayIndicatorElement = Me.radGanttView1.GanttViewElement.GraphicalViewElement.TodayIndicatorElement
todayIndicator.BackColor = Color.Red
todayIndicator.BackColor2 = Color.Red
Dim timelineTodayIndicator As GanttViewTimelineTodayIndicatorElement = Me.radGanttView1.GanttViewElement.GraphicalViewElement.TimelineTodayIndicatorElement
timelineTodayIndicator.BackColor = Color.Green
timelineTodayIndicator.BackColor2 = Color.Green
```
