Workaround:

Workaround:

Workaround: create custom GanttViewTimelineItemElement with special layout arranging the elements in depending on their parent`s final size. The attached project features a possible implementation.

Workaround: rebind the ganttview after changing the parent.

How to reproduce:
1. Subscribe to radGanttView DoubleClick event.

            item(this, e);
        }
    }
}

Workaround:  set the data source to null before updating the object and after updating it set it to the object 

How to reproduce: refer to the attached project

Workaround: reset the data source

Currently when you set the TimelineRange property to TimeRange.Week displays two elements (the TopElement with weeks and the BottomElement with days). There are cases where users want to display single timeline - only weeks, days, quarters or years independent of the second timeline.  

If one subscribes to the TimelineItemElementCreating and provides custom item elements for the timeline these elements are not used and default item elements are used instead.

WORKAROUND:

Create a custom element provider:

public class CustomGanttViewTimelineElementProvider : GanttViewTimelineElementProvider
{
    public CustomGanttViewTimelineElementProvider(GanttViewGraphicalViewElement owner)
        : base(owner)
        { }

    public override IVirtualizedElement<GanttViewTimelineDataItem> CreateElement(GanttViewTimelineDataItem data, object context)
        {
            GanttViewTimelineItemElement element = this.OnItemElementCreating(data);

            if (element != null)
            {
                return element;
            }

            return new GanttViewTimelineItemElement(data, this.Owner);
        }
}

and assign it to the timeline container element provider:

this.radGanttView1.GanttViewElement.GraphicalViewElement.TimelineContainer.ElementProvider = new CustomGanttViewTimelineElementProvider(this.radGanttView1.GanttViewElement.GraphicalViewElement);

Workaround: 
 Sub New()

        InitializeComponent()

        Me.SetUpGantt()

        Me.RadGanttView1.GanttViewElement.TextViewElement.Scroller.AllowHiddenScrolling = True

        AddHandler Me.RadGanttView1.MouseUp, AddressOf Me.RadGanttView1_MouseUp
    End Sub

Private Sub RadGanttView1_MouseUp(sender As Object, e As MouseEventArgs)
        Dim location = e.Location

        Dim splitter As GanttViewViewsSplitterElement = TryCast(Me.RadGanttView1.ElementTree.GetElementAtPoint(e.Location), GanttViewViewsSplitterElement)
        If splitter IsNot Nothing Then
            Me.RadGanttView1.GanttViewElement.TextViewElement.Scroller.Scrollbar.Value = Me.RadGanttView1.GanttViewElement.GraphicalViewElement.VScrollBar.Value
        End If
    End Sub

The position of splitter should allow to be fixed while resizing the control. Users want to be able to set the splitter next to the last column of TextViewElement when resizing. 

Please look at the attached screenshot.

Workaround: you can replace the StackLayoutElement used in the GanttViewTimelineItemBottomStackElement with a DockLayoutPanel for example as follows:

Public Class CustomGanttViewTimelineItemElement
Inherits GanttViewTimelineItemElement
    Public Sub New(data As GanttViewTimelineDataItem, graphicalViewElement As GanttViewGraphicalViewElement)
        MyBase.New(data, graphicalViewElement)

    End Sub
    Dim dock As DockLayoutPanel
    Protected Overrides Sub CreateChildElements()
        MyBase.CreateChildElements()
        dock = New DockLayoutPanel()
        dock.StretchHorizontally = True
        dock.LastChildFill = False
        Me.Children.RemoveAt(Me.Children.Count - 1)

This event should be fired when a task is modified either by the graphical view or by the columns on the left side. In the arguments you should have access to the changed property.

To reproduce: 
1. Drag and drop RadGanttView on the form
2. Populate with tasks and set the ReadOnly property to true. 
3. Run the application and you will see that you can add links

Workaround: 
Disable adding of links:
void radGanttView2_LinkAdding(object sender, GanttViewLinkAddingEventArgs e)
{
    e.Cancel = true;
}

To reproduce:
public RadForm1()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    DataTable tasks = new DataTable("Tasks");
    tasks.Columns.Add("Id", typeof(int));
    tasks.Columns.Add("ParentId", typeof(int));
    tasks.Columns.Add("Title", typeof(string));
    tasks.Columns.Add("Start", typeof(DateTime));
    tasks.Columns.Add("End", typeof(DateTime));
    tasks.Columns.Add("Progress", typeof(decimal));

    DataTable links = new DataTable("Links");
    links.Columns.Add("StartId", typeof(int));
    links.Columns.Add("EndId", typeof(int));
    links.Columns.Add("LinkType", typeof(int));

    tasks.Rows.Add(1, 0, "Summary task title", new DateTime(2010, 10, 8), new DateTime(2010, 10, 18), 30m);
    tasks.Rows.Add(2, 1, "First child task title", new DateTime(2010, 10, 10), new DateTime(2010, 10, 12), 10);
    tasks.Rows.Add(3, 1, "Second child task title", new DateTime(2010, 10, 12), new DateTime(2010, 10, 15), 20m);
    tasks.Rows.Add(4, 1, "Milestone", new DateTime(2010, 10, 15), new DateTime(2010, 10, 15), 0m);

    links.Rows.Add(2, 3, 1);
    links.Rows.Add(3, 4, 1);

    DataSet data = new DataSet();
    data.Tables.Add(tasks.Copy());
    data.Tables.Add(links);

    this.radGridView1.DataSource = tasks;
    radGridView1.BestFitColumns();

    this.radGanttView1.CreateDataItem += radGanttView1_CreateDataItem;
    this.radGanttView1.AllowSummaryEditing = true;
    this.radGanttView1.GanttViewElement.TaskDataMember = "Tasks";
    this.radGanttView1.GanttViewElement.ChildMember = "Id";
    this.radGanttView1.GanttViewElement.ParentMember = "ParentId";
    this.radGanttView1.GanttViewElement.TitleMember = "Title";
    this.radGanttView1.GanttViewElement.StartMember = "Start";
    this.radGanttView1.GanttViewElement.EndMember = "End";
    this.radGanttView1.GanttViewElement.ProgressMember = "Progress";
    this.radGanttView1.GanttViewElement.LinkDataMember = "Links";
    this.radGanttView1.GanttViewElement.LinkStartMember = "StartId";
    this.radGanttView1.GanttViewElement.LinkEndMember = "EndId";
    this.radGanttView1.GanttViewElement.LinkTypeMember = "LinkType";

    this.radGanttView1.GanttViewElement.DataSource = data;

    this.radGanttView1.Columns.Add("Start");
    this.radGanttView1.Columns.Add("End");
    this.radGanttView1.Columns.Add("Progress");

    this.radGanttView1.GanttViewElement.GraphicalViewElement.TimelineStart = new DateTime(2010, 10, 7);
    this.radGanttView1.GanttViewElement.GraphicalViewElement.TimelineEnd = new DateTime(2010, 12, 10);
}
You will notice that the start and end of the summary task are changed in the gantt view.

Workaround:
void radGanttView1_CreateDataItem(object sender, CreateGanttDataItemEventArgs e)
{
    e.Item = new MyGanttViewDataItem();
}

public class MyGanttViewDataItem : GanttViewDataItem
{
    protected override void OnChildAdded(GanttViewDataItem child)
    {
        if (this.Parent != null && !this.GanttViewElement.AllowSummaryEditing)
        {
            base.OnChildAdded(child);
        }
    }

    protected override void OnChildRemoved(GanttViewDataItem child)
    {
        if (this.Parent != null && !this.GanttViewElement.AllowSummaryEditing)
        {
            base.OnChildRemoved(child);
        }
    }
}
