Zoom for the Gantt Timeline

You can change the starting point of the Gantt Timeline view through the RangeSnapTo. By default, the range of the view is calculated based on major slot division.

The RangeSnapTo parameter receives an argument of type GanttRangeSnapTo which exposes two enum values:

• MajorSlot(default value) - dates are calculated based on the nearest major slot division of the view.
• MinorSlot - dates are calculated based on the nearest minor slot division of the view.

Change the timeline view based to the minor slot
