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 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
Of course you can suggest new product ideas for future versions (or vote for existing ones) at <http://ideas.infragistics.com>.
There are many benefits to submitting an product idea:
- Direct communication with our product management team regarding your product idea.
- Notifications whenever new information regarding your idea becomes available.
- Ability to vote on your favorite product ideas to let us know which ones are the most important to you. You will have ten votes for this and can change which ideas you are voting for at any time.
- Allow you to shape the future of our products by requesting new controls and products altogether.
- You and other developers can discuss existing product ideas with members of our Product Management team.
Steps to create your idea:
1. Log into the Infragistics Product Idea site at http://ideas.infragistics.com (creating a new login if needed).
2. Navigate to the product / platform channel of your choice (e.g. WPF, Windows Forms, ASP.NET, HTML5 / Ignite UI, iOS / NucliOS, etc.)
3. Add your product idea and be sure to be specific and provide as much detail as possible. Explain the context in which a feature would be used, why it is needed, why it can’t be accomplished today, and who would benefit from it. You can even add screenshots to build a stronger case. Remember that for your suggestion to be successful, you need other members of the community to vote for it. Be convincing!
The Product Idea site puts you in the driver’s seat and allows you to track the progress of your ideas at any time, see how many votes it got, read comments from other developers in the community, and see if someone from the product team has additional questions for you.
Let me know if you have any questions.
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
Thanks for the screenshot. You could try my custom approach with CreationFilter. If you have any questions, feel free to write us

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 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
Georgi
