12.1.2.1.1.9. Gantt Chart

Charts, like tables and grids, can be powerful tools for visualizing data in a form. In this section, we will explore the capabilities of Gantt charts, one of the two chart controls available in the program. Gantt charts allow for efficient representation of project timelines, tasks, and dependencies, enabling effective project planning and tracking.

*In the Designer, there are two types of chart controls available: interactive charts and Gantt charts. For more information on interactive charts, click here.

When an Gantt chart control is selected in the design environment, its associated properties are displayed in the Control Properties panel.

*To access the Control Behavior category, users must first create the form behavior.

1. Binding: In this category, users can link a control to its corresponding attribute and define its binding properties.
   • For more information on the fields in this category, click here.

*For more information on the required attributes for Gantt chart controls, click here.

2. Name: In this category, users can access basic properties required for the control’s identification and proper referencing in the code.
   • For more information on these properties and how to configure them, click here.
3. Control Behavior: In this category, users can configure the behavior of the control and define how it interacts with the form or application.

   • Control Governance

     • In the Control Governance field, users can configure various properties that govern the functionality of controls.
       • To access the control governance properties, click on the ellipses () inside the field. It will display the Form / Behavior / Control window.
         • This window consists of two tabs:
           • Grid
           • Validation

       !!Please note that users are limited to configuring only the required field validation properties for Gantt chart controls and cannot set up required range validations.

   • For more information on these properties and how to configure them, click here.

     !!Please note that the linked section contains information on setting an initial value, which is not applicable to Gantt chart controls and can be ignored.

4. Appearance: In this category, users can customize the visual appearance of the control.
   • Height: This is a numeric updown field that allows users to set the height of the control.
     • By default, the height is set to 200. To adjust this size, users can enter numbers into the field either manually or by clicking the increment/decrement arrows.
