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).
Thanks, Tom
Hello Simon,
Yeah, you are right, because I made only demo sample that you could use it as a starting point and it is not fully functional. To solve your task, you should extend your CreationFilter. You could try to include IF conditions for day or month scenario and implement different code to create rectangles:
tb.Rect = new Rectangle(((TaskUIElement)El).Rect.X + (mt.Duration.Days * tSlot.Rect.Width * ts.Days), ((TaskUIElement)El).Rect.Y, tSlot.Rect.Width * item.Duration.Days, 19);
The part in BOLD is responsible for x axis
Let me know if you have any questions

Hi Georgi,
I have implemented your example of multiple tasks on one line which works well when the primary interval is set to 'day'.
When it is set to month then it doesn't seem to work when drawing the rects on the time line as i'm unsure what the x axis would be relating to the month?
I hope this makes sense and you understand my ramblings!
many thanks
Simon
Hello Tom,
Thanks for the screenshot. You could try my custom approach with CreationFilter. If you have any questions, feel free to write us
Hi Georgi
Belatedly, thanks for your response. I've attached a screen grab from MS Project which now includes the type of functionality I'm describing.
I'll try your suggestion too.
Cheers Tom
At that moment we have not such functionality in our UltraGranttView control. Maybe one custom approach could be if you implement CreationFilter. Few months ago, I made simple sample to demonstrate this approach. Please take a look on http://es.infragistics.com/community/forums/t/63942.aspx
