Timeline Item Formatting
The TimelineItemFormatting event allows you to format the style and look of the items in the timeline container. The following example demonstrates how to make the timeline appear as a checkered flag.
private void radGanttView1_TimelineItemFormatting(object sender, GanttViewTimelineItemFormattingEventArgs e)
{
CultureInfo currentCulture = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture;
int weekNo = currentCulture.Calendar.GetWeekOfYear(e.Item.Start, currentCulture.DateTimeFormat.CalendarWeekRule, currentCulture.DateTimeFormat.FirstDayOfWeek);
Color color1 = Color.Black;
Color color2 = Color.White;
if (weekNo % 2 == 0)
{
color1 = Color.White;
color2 = Color.Black;
}
e.ItemElement.TopElement.DrawFill = true;
e.ItemElement.TopElement.DrawBorder = false;
e.ItemElement.TopElement.GradientStyle = GradientStyles.Solid;
e.ItemElement.TopElement.BackColor = color1;
e.ItemElement.TopElement.ForeColor = color2;
foreach (LightVisualElement element in e.ItemElement.BottomElement.Children)
{
element.BackColor = color2;
element.ForeColor = color1;
element.DrawBorder = false;
}
}
Private Sub radGanttView1_TimelineItemFormatting(sender As Object, e As GanttViewTimelineItemFormattingEventArgs)
Dim currentCulture As CultureInfo = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture
Dim weekNo As Integer = currentCulture.Calendar.GetWeekOfYear(e.Item.Start, currentCulture.DateTimeFormat.CalendarWeekRule, currentCulture.DateTimeFormat.FirstDayOfWeek)
Dim color1 As Color = Color.Black
Dim color2 As Color = Color.White
If weekNo Mod 2 = 0 Then
color1 = Color.White
color2 = Color.Black
End If
e.ItemElement.TopElement.DrawFill = True
e.ItemElement.TopElement.DrawBorder = False
e.ItemElement.TopElement.GradientStyle = GradientStyles.Solid
e.ItemElement.TopElement.BackColor = color1
e.ItemElement.TopElement.ForeColor = color2
For Each element As LightVisualElement In e.ItemElement.BottomElement.Children
element.BackColor = color2
element.ForeColor = color1
element.DrawBorder = False
Next
End Sub
