In a gantt chart i want to compare the target time and the actual completion time of a task.If the completion time of a task is less than the target time , i want to colour the bar green.If the completion time is greater than the target time, i want to colour the bar red.

How do i go about this.

Hello,

To get an idea on how to implement this, please take a look at the following tutorial in our online documentation: How to: Custom Paint Series Points.

 Thanks for the reply.It helped.However i have one more problem.The gantt chart shows grey squares as a background image or shadow when the chart is displayed.How do you get rid of the grey squares and other default background shadows. I donot want to show anything in the background.

If I got you right, you need to customize the DefaultPane.BackColor and Shadow.Visible properties. Does this help you?

 The DefaultPane.BackColor is set to transparent in the properties window.The Shadow.Visible is set to false.

As it is difficult for me to figure out what exactly is wrong, I believe that in this situation the best for you is to write directly to our Support Team at http://www.devexpress.com/sc, and they'll certainly help you!

I have attached a picture of the gantt chart.The background has large discoloured blocks.I am looking for a uniform background.

Thanks

Mthulisi,

As far as I understand, you simply need to discard the AxisX.GridLines.Visible property.

 Hi,

The problem is not the grid lines.It only that its not clear from the picture.But if you look at the picture closely from a side you will see discoloured blocks in the background.I can email you the picture if you supply your email address.I think the picture will be more clear that from the forums web page.

Cheers

Mthulisi,

Please send the image along with the project to support@devexpress.com. The project is required as I am not sure that we will be able to reproduce this issue otherwise. And, we'll certainly investigate it and inform you about the results.
