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;
}

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

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)
        Me.Children.Add(dock)
    End Sub

    Protected Overrides Sub CalculateItems()
        Me.SuspendLayout()

        Dim cellInfo As GanttTimelineCellsInfo = Me.GraphicalViewElement.TimelineBehavior.GetTimelineCellInfoForItem(Me.Data, Me.GraphicalViewElement.TimelineRange)

        While Me.dock.Children.Count > cellInfo.NumberOfcells
            Me.dock.Children.RemoveAt(0)
        End While

        While Me.dock.Children.Count < cellInfo.NumberOfcells
            Dim element As LightVisualElement = Me.GraphicalViewElement.TimelineBehavior.CreateElement()
            Me.dock.Children.Add(element)
        End While

        Me.TopElement.Text = Me.GraphicalViewElement.TimelineBehavior.GetTimelineTopElementText(Me.Data)

        For i As Integer = 0 To Me.dock.Children.Count - 1
            DirectCast(Me.dock.Children(i), LightVisualElement).Text = Me.GraphicalViewElement.TimelineBehavior.GetTimelineBottomElementText(Me.Data, i + cellInfo.StartIndex)
        Next

        Me.ResumeLayout(True)
    End Sub

    Protected Overrides Function MeasureOverride(availableSize As SizeF) As SizeF
        Dim clientRect As RectangleF = Me.GetClientRectangle(availableSize)
        Dim width As Single = Me.Data.Width - Me.GraphicalViewElement.TimelineContainer.ItemSpacing + availableSize.Width - clientRect.Width

        Me.TopElement.Measure(New SizeF(width, clientRect.Height / 2.0F))
        Me.dock.Measure(New SizeF(width, clientRect.Height / 2.0F))

        Return New SizeF(width, Me.TopElement.DesiredSize.Height + Me.dock.DesiredSize.Height)
    End Function

    Protected Overrides Function ArrangeOverride(finalSize As SizeF) As SizeF
        Dim clientRect As RectangleF = Me.GetClientRectangle(finalSize)

        Dim topRect As New RectangleF(clientRect.X, clientRect.Y, Me.DesiredSize.Width, clientRect.Height / 2.0F)
        Me.TopElement.Arrange(topRect)
        Dim bottomRect As New RectangleF(clientRect.X, topRect.Bottom, Me.DesiredSize.Width, clientRect.Height - topRect.Height)
        Me.dock.Arrange(bottomRect)

        Return clientRect.Size
    End Function
End Class

Public Class CustomGanttViewTimelineElementProvider
Inherits GanttViewTimelineElementProvider

    Public Sub New(owner As GanttViewGraphicalViewElement)
        MyBase.New(owner)

    End Sub
    Public Overrides Function CreateElement(data As GanttViewTimelineDataItem, context As Object) As IVirtualizedElement(Of GanttViewTimelineDataItem)
        Dim element As GanttViewTimelineItemElement = Me.OnItemElementCreating(data)

        Return New CustomGanttViewTimelineItemElement(data, Owner)
    End Function
End Class

How to reproduce: refer to the attached project

Workaround: reset the data source
private void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	this.RadGanttView1.DataSource = null;

	//TODO: This line of code loads data into the 'WeddingPlannerDataSet.Tasks' table. You can move, or remove it, as needed.
	this.TasksTableAdapter.Fill(this.WeddingPlannerDataSet.Tasks);
	//TODO: This line of code loads data into the 'WeddingPlannerDataSet.Links' table. You can move, or remove it, as needed.
	this.LinksTableAdapter.Fill(this.WeddingPlannerDataSet.Links);

	this.RadGanttView1.GanttViewElement.DataSource = this.WeddingPlannerDataSet 
}

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);

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:
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);
        }
    }
}

To reproduce:
- Add enough items so that the vertical scroll is shown.
- Scroll so the first item is not visible.
- Move one of the visible items.

To reproduce: 
1. Drag and drop RadGanttView
2. Add summary task with 3 sub tasks
3. Set the ReadOnly property to true
4. Run the form and try to move summary task. The user should not be able to move summary task or any other task when is in read only mode. 

Workaround: 
You can set the following properties: 
this.radGanttView1.ReadOnly = true;
this.radGanttView1.AllowSummaryEditing = false;

To reproduce: 
 public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    public Form1()

1.Select a random task item
2.Click the button to rebind and restore the selection
As a result you will encounter a NullReferenceException.

Workaround: set the SelectedItem property to null/Nothing before rebinding

Improve the way to format easily summary task. Currently you need to cast all elements of summary element to change the BackColor. 

Resolution: 
There are three properties added to GanttViewSummaryElement which allow access to the inner elements: LeftElement, MiddleElement and RightElement. 
Please take a look at the code example: 
private void radGanttView1_GraphicalViewItemFormatting(object sender, GanttViewGraphicalViewItemFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    GanttViewSummaryItemElement element = e.ItemElement as GanttViewSummaryItemElement;
    if (element != null)
    {
        GanttViewSummaryElement summary = element.TaskElement as GanttViewSummaryElement;
        summary.LeftElement.BackColor = Color.Blue;
        summary.RightElement.BackColor = Color.Blue;
        summary.MiddleElement.BackColor = Color.LightGreen;
        summary.ProgressIndicatorElement.BackColor = Color.Red;
    }
}

Description: Show context menu in RadGanttView (to enable adding, deleting tasks and setting progress) not only for the GraphicalViewElement, but also for the TextViewElement

To reproduce:

Bind to an object with a property of type double. Start the application and edit that same column. End the editing process and you will see an exception that decimal cannot be converted to double.

Workaround:

Create the following custom editor:

public class MySpinEditor : GanttViewSpinEditor
{
    public override object Value
    {
        get
        {
            object value = base.Value;
            return Convert.ChangeType(value, this.ValueType);
        }
        set
        {
            base.Value = value;
        }
    }
}

Subscribe to the EditorInitialized and EditorRequired events and use the following event handlers:

void GanttViewElement_EditorInitialized(object sender, GanttViewItemEditorInitializedEventArgs e)
{
    GanttViewSpinEditor spinEditor = e.Editor as GanttViewSpinEditor;
    if (spinEditor != null)
    {
        spinEditor.ValueType = typeof(double);
    }
}


void GanttViewElement_EditorRequired(object sender, GanttViewEditorRequiredEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.EditorType == typeof(GanttViewSpinEditor))
    {
        e.EditorType = typeof(MySpinEditor);
    }
}

To reproduce:

Add a RadGanttView to a form and set its Dock to Fill. Increase the size of the form. Add 3-4 events to the RadGanttView and start the application. Reduce the size of the form until the gantt is small enough so scrollbars should show. You will notice that the vertical scrollbars will not show.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Add a gantt view to a form and add two buttons, one for adding a new child to the selected item and one for removing the selected item.
2. Run the project and add child items to a normal task item - the item should become a summary item.
3. Remove all the child items of a summary item - it should become a normal task.

To reproduce: add a RadGanttView and populate it with data. Use the  GraphicalViewItemFormatting event in order to change the e.ItemElement.TaskElement.Text. However, the changes are not applied.

Workaround:
 private void radGanttView1_GraphicalViewItemFormatting(object sender, GanttViewGraphicalViewItemFormattingEventArgs e)
 {
     e.ItemElement.Tag = "Custom text";
 }

         {
             this.TaskElement.Text = this.Tag.ToString();
         }
     }
 }

1. Set up a RadGanttView with some data

2. Do not add any columns

3. Run the project and press the Left or Right Arrow key. An IndexOutOfRange exception will be thrown.

Currently users are not able to create custom item elements for the gantt view timeline.
