It'd be nice to have templatecolumns in the column definitions. Also that bound columns bounds to different properties other than expected, ie: Title, ID, etc. So for example I could implement different behaviors based on a gantt diagram.

<telerik:GanttBoundColumn  AllowEdit="true" UniqueName="colSelected" DataField="Selected" AllowSorting="false" DataType="Boolean">
            </telerik:GanttBoundColumn>

This should render a checkbox for example, but DataType="Boolean" its probably thought for Summary field.

I know this control is still on beta, but at least task selection would be nice to have.


Also I would like this control to be more performance optimized , In the project I want to implement it I need to draw quite a few tasks.

Thanks

I am migrating Excel Documents into Line of Business application into web pages. 
Which means everything excel can do, my client expect the telerik controls to do!
On either a RadGrid or RadGantt  I would like to be able to rotate the headings just like in Excel. 
An example is a heading like 'Days' but the actual value in that column is no bigger than 99.  
Another example if that the heading has a question, and the cell a check box.

I am migrating MS Project Documents into Line of Business application into web pages. Which means everything MS Project can do, my client expect the telerik controls to do!

I would like features as seen in https://www.officetimeline.com/plus
Which means I can summarize  the status of a project.
Which means I can use the mouse wheel and the 'Ctrl' key to zoom in and out of a project. 
Initially this would be like changing from 'Day' view all the way thro to 'Year' view,  but unlike pressing this buttons, I am still centered on in on that date much like in https://soundcloud.com/explore but its not music but a date on a timeline.
So if SoundCloud was for Project timelines that would be good.
This also have cross over for the Scheduler calender Timeline.

How can we plot planned Vs Actual on RadGantt chart? We need two rows in the Gantt for each task. The first row to show planned while the second row shows actual progress. Both Actual and Planned progress to be shown in different colors.

Sample output is attached for your quick reference.

Hello, this is for the list of columns on the left side of the Gantt, called TreeListView. If it would be possible to add additional columns that we select or implement during data binding, for example: Duration, other dates, description, task type, and many others that the client will select dynamically, so they must not be a static list of columns. 

Thank you,

Similar to what we have in other controls, when there is are no records, we should have a specific template where we can show an image or some text that shows that the Gantt chart could not be displayed since there is no data.

Attached is a sample implementation which can be used as a temporary workaround. To run the project, place the .NET 4.5 version of the Telerik.Web.UI.dll in the bin folder of the project.

Allow the implementation of Custom views or extending the available ones similar to the Kendo UI Gantt - https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/controls/scheduling/gantt/how-to/creating-custom-view

Implement a string indexer or a method to get column by unique name in RadGantt. 

Example  of string indexer
//
// Summary: This class represents collection of Telerik.Web.UI.GanttBoundColumn.
//
public class ColumnCollection : BaseCollection<GanttBoundColumn>
{
	public ColumnCollection(){...}
	public ColumnCollection(IGantt owner){...}
	
	public GanttBoundColumn this[string ColumnName]
	{
	   //considering columnCollection is internal variable holding list of columns.
		return columnCollection.Where(c => c.UniqueName == ColumnName).FirstOrDefault();
	}
}

Example of a method can be similar to RadGrid's GetColumn and GetColumnSafe methods: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/grid/how-to/Common/using-the--getitems-getcolumn-and-getcolumnsafe-methods.

In project management it´s very important the possibility to save a baseline, because is the reference to compare project performance. 
Something like "save current task list with a specific name, sample: baseline_first-planning-date". 
After sometime it´s possible to save new baseline with all changes of dates and other columns. 
At this moment with two baselines it´s possible to compare the project performance, showing two gantt with different colors. 
I believe this is a great improvement. 
Thanks

Would like to show column grouping for a few columns in the RaddGantt.

e.g.

• Planned Start and Planned End to be grouped under Planned
• Actual Start and Actual End to be grouped under Actual
• Financial Detail columns to be grouped under Task Financials

Also, would like to add to the query, how can I have the Gantt chart with the dates shown vertically as in the image attached. I don't want the Week or Month name coming in the grouping. Just dates in the timeline view.

I need a context menu when user right click on particular task. Is it possible?

Workaround - placing the following script after the ScriptManager: 
<script type="text/javascript">
    Telerik.Web.UI.RadGantt.prototype.postback = function (args) {
        var postbackFunction = this.get_postBackReference().replace("arguments",
                Sys.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer.serialize(args).replace(/\\/g, "\\\\").replace(/'/g, "\\'"));

        eval(postbackFunction);
    }
</script>

The task's get_customFieldClientName() and set_customFieldClientName(newValue) methods always work with the last custom field in the CustomFields collection.

There are two workarounds until an official solution is available:
- instead of the function getter, use task._data.customFieldClientName . The setter cannot be worked around that easily. This can work for you if you only show data or do not need to edit custom fields
- OR, add the following function override at the end of the </form>  - a sample is attached below
        <script>
            Telerik.Web.UI.RadGantt.prototype.initializeCustomFields = function () {

                var _createCustomFieldGetterAndSetter = function (fieldName) {
                    var taskType = Telerik.Web.UI.GanttTask;
                    taskType.prototype["get_" + fieldName] = function () {
                        return this._data[fieldName];
                    };

                    taskType.prototype["set_" + fieldName] = function (value) {
                        var updateInfo = {};
                        updateInfo[fieldName] = value;
                        this._data[fieldName] = value;
                        this._update(updateInfo);
                    };
                }

                var customFields = this.get_customTaskFields();
                for (var i = 0, length = customFields.length; i < length; i++) {
                    _createCustomFieldGetterAndSetter(customFields[i].clientPropertyName);
                }
            }
        </script>

Integrate validation of unique names that are being assigned through the UniqueName property of the GanttBoundColumn class to prevent the same assigned two times.

E.g.

RadGantt myGantt = new RadGantt();
GanttBoundColumn boundColumn = new GanttBoundColumn();
boundColumn.UniqueName = "Unique";
myGantt.Columns.Add(boundColumn);

GanttBoundColumn boundColumn2 = new GanttBoundColumn();
boundColumn.UniqueName = "Unique"; // this should be validated
myGantt.Columns.Add(boundColumn2);

RadGantt needs to considering "working time" when plotting.

You have workDayStart, workDayEnd, workWeekStart, and workWeekEnd which appears at this point to only control UI.

My suggestion is as follows: let's say I have a task that is 8 hours long in duration(does not appear that I can set the duration on a task, its readonly), I set the task StartTime to be Friday 1PM and EndTime to be Friday 9PM, hence 8 hour duration, I would expect the control to consume its own configuration(defined by params above) and know that from 5PM - 9PM are not working hours, nor is Sat or Sun and to paint the additional hours on Monday from 8AM - 12PM.  This is how MSProject and other gantt controls operate.

Essentially I don't want to give you an EndTime, I should be able to simply set the StartTime and provide a duration and you would consume the working hours configuration and figure out the EndTime to plot.
