It would be useful if the control takes advantage of the RadSpreadProcessing, RadPdfProcessing and RadWordsProcessing. This will allow developers to easily export the control's contents to the desired format. Currently it is possible to export the control's content as images. More details about the available RadGanttView exporting could be found here: - For WPF - http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/wpf/controls/radganttview/features/exportingsupport - For Silverlight - http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/silverlight/controls/radganttview/features/exportingsupport

So yes, I was able to achieve what I needed, albeit it was not real clear and took a lot of trial and error. So it probably doesn't apply to this particular feature, but I found the manner in which I had to access the GanttView TimeLine's properties (VisibleGroupRangeState and VisibleTimeRangeState) a bit cumbersome. I could be wrong but it appeared that the only way I could access those properties is when I was populating the chart...not afterwards (which to me would have been far more convenient.
Also, the built-in exporting of the RadGanttView is really "plain". Giving the user the ability to inject the screenshots into a custom report would be extremely helpful I believe. That was my situation...I had a report design based on customer requirements, that I had to insert screenshots of the ganttview into to get the desired report.
Hope this helps.
Hi Stefan -
Although the RadGanttView does provide a way to generate a paginated report, it does not allow customization that I can see. So for example, our customer requires a customized report with particular customized information in the headers and footers of the report. They also want to be able to control the visible time for each page of the report (i.e., want to show 4-hour blocks on a page). And finally, they want to be able to keep the header (times) and left-most column, on each page of the report. This way they can more easily track where they are in the report and who they are looking at instead of taping everything together in one large collage. Hope this helps.
