Gantt Events

This article explains the events available in the Telerik Gantt for Blazor. They are grouped logically.

CUD Events

The OnCreate, OnUpdate and OnDelete events lets you get the data item that the user changed so you can transfer the user action to the actual data source.

The OnEdit event lets you respond to user actions when they want to edit an item. For example, you can use it to prevent editing of certain items based on some condition.

You can read more about the CUD events in the Gantt Tree Editing Overview article.

TreeListWidthChanged

The TreeListWidthChanged event fires as a response to the user changing the width of the TreeList pane in the splitter.

OnExpand and OnCollapse

The OnExpand and OnCollapse events fire as a response to the user expanding and collapsing an item of the Gantt Tree.

The event handlers receive arguments of type GanttExpandEventArgs and GanttCollapseEventArgs respectively which exposes the following fields:

  • Item - an object you can cast to your model class to obtain the current data item.
  • ShouldRender - a boolean field indicating whether the component will re-render.

The OnCollapse event fires as a response to the user collapsing an item of the Gantt Tree.
