Can we have task dependencies in resource view

[Peter Chapman]

Hi, I am currently evaluating the WPF gantt control. The view I would be after is the resource view (ie the left hand list has resources rather than tasks).

In the non resource view, I see we can have dependencies, and that we have a Predecessor property on the Task objects.

In the resource view, it looks like (from the sample) we use the Item object (for both the resources, eg person, and for the tasks themselves), and I don't see any Predecessor property in here.

Does this mean we don't don't have support for dependencies when using this resource view, or is there some other way of doing this?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi Peter, 
  

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion Support.  

  

Please confirm us whether your requirement is to establish relationship between inline items as shown in the below figure. So that we can assist you with a better solution.

Hi Sridharan , yes that is exactly was I was enquiring about. 

Thanks for that.

Best regards, Pete.

Hi Peter,   

   

Thanks for the update.   

   

Currently we don’t support to establish relationship between two inline nodes in resource view, we have already considered your requirement as a feature request and it will be included in any of our upcoming release.   

   

Thanks,

I also need this feature.

I'm creating an application for scheduling production orders. 

I already have a ready optimization algorithm and I need a solution that allows me to display the schedule.

Hi Michal Siedlecki, 

 

Thanks for your update. Please find the solution below.  

 

Query: “I also need this feature.” 

 

As we mentioned in our previous update, At the planning stage for every release cycle, we review all open features and identify features for implementation based on specific parameters including product vision, technological feasibility, and customer interest. We will let you know when this feature is implemented.

We have prepared a sample for the Gantt control and displaying the items by using Model and ViewModel. Please check the sample from the following link
