Hi,
I´m trying to use the control but I have some doubts:
1.- Is there any way so if i change the percentage of a task or other task value, the change is not propagated to parent tasks? (In Microsoft Project we can have this by changing calculation mode to manual in Options-> General)
2.- I want to include a zoom in/out functionality, in the same way Microsoft Project has.
How can I do it?
3.- How can I change the text of the labels of the left table of the controls?
Thanks!
Brian, Have you had the time to write up a sample of zoom functionality in the UltraGanttView? If so, I'd like to see it. Thanks.

There is currently no WInSchedule control that displays both appointments and tasks. If you like you can submit a feature request for this.
Hi, Brian!
Being big fan of UltraGanttView, UltraDayView and UltraTimeLine controls, I've got some issues using them.
For example, it is not possible (or at least I did not found useful combination ov parameters) to combine Appointment and Task.
Precisely, we've an implementation of a gantt to manage our processes and projects by setting activity owners, workers, start and end-dates. Well, then I'd like to show current (date-dependent) activity subset (personal task) combined with appointments.
I did not found such possibilites.
Can you give some suggestions?
Thank you in advance.
1. No, deferred calculation is not supported, nor is directly setting a summary task's percentage of completion. If you would like a property that allows you to switch off automatically applying a sub-task's percentage of completion to its parent tasks, you should log a feature request; this would seem to be a very simple thing for us to add - we would just not automatically calculate a summary task's PercentComplete, and lift the restriction that prevents it from being set directly.
2. Some background: the control provides access to the timeline headers via the UltraGanttView.TimelineSettings.PrimaryInterval and UltraGanttView.TimelineSettings.AdditionalIntervals properties. This functionality was "inherited" from the UltraTimelineView control; the PrimaryInterval describes the bottom-most row of headers, and the AdditionalIntervals collection describes all the ones above it. I believe MS Project imposes a limit on the number of timescales that can be displayed; we don't impose any limit, so you can add members to the AdditionalIntervals collection to get more interval groupings to appear above the primary one. Between the PrimaryInterval and AdditionalIntervals properties, and the properties of the DateTimeInterval class (which encapsulates the timeline interval's functionality), you can get pretty much any combination of timeline divisions you like, and you can also control the width of the primary headers by setting the UltraGanttView.TimelineSettings.ColumnWidth property. That's the good news; the bad news is, we didn;t have time to provide a way to do this through the UI, so at this time, to get that functionality you would have to code it. If I get time in the near future I will try to post a code sample that demonstrates how to do this.
3. I see that we never exposed a property for this; I would consider that a bug, so you might want to submit an incident for this. Those strings are localized, so in the meantime you can use that same mechanism to change the text, like so:
TaskField taskField = TaskField.Name;string resourceName = string.Format("TaskProxy_PropertyDisplayName_Task.{0}", taskField );Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGanttView.Resources.Customizer.SetCustomizedString( resourceName, "This was changed" );
One thing to note is that you must do this prior to the task grid's initialization, so I would stick that code in (for example) the form's constructor, before the call to InitializeComponent. It is a static string resource, so the fact that the control hasn't been created yet doesn't matter.
