Hi Halit, Please find the response for your queries below. Sl.No. Query Syncfusion Comments 1 About 3, I want to disable editing just for “progress”. “ I don't want to disable editing for all properties. “ Yes, we can disable editing for the Progress column only. We can set the columns.allowEditing property to false to disable editing for a particular column. This will apply for cell and dialog edit operations. Index.cshtml

We can also use the CSS classes of the progress resizer to disable editing the Progress field through the progress resizer. Index.cshtml Documentation: https://ej2.syncfusion.com/aspnetcore/documentation/gantt/managing-tasks/#disable-editing-for-particular-column 2 About 1, I understand that we can define multiple levels, but I want to know is it possible to make "top level" tasks to behave like as their children. Specifically, I want to define relationship between "top level (parent)" tasks. Currently, we do not have support to provide dependency connections for the parent-tasks. However, we have logged a feature report for it. You can track its status from the below feedback. Feedback: https://www.syncfusion.com/feedback/6865/relationship-support-for-parent-task-in-gantt As we have already lined up some major features, we could not implement this support immediately. We will implement this and include it in any of our upcoming releases. Please cast your vote on this feature. Based on the customer demand we will prioritize the features in our upcoming road map. We would also like to inform you that this is not possible to achieve using work-around. Please contact us if you require any further assistance. Regards, Monisha.

Is it possible to disable indenting and outdenting ? I don't want to disable editing all together.

We can disable the indent/outdent in both the toolbar and the context menu. To disable the indent/outdent in the toolbar, you can avoid mapping the indent/outdent in the toolbar items collection. You can also use the contextMenuOpen event to hide the indent/outdent items. The below code snippets demonstrate the solution.

Index.cshtml

function contextMenuOpen(args) {

args.hideItems.push("Indent");

args.hideItems.push("Outdent");

}

</script>

Is it possible to treat main tasks as their children ? e.g. able to defining relationships between mains.

Yes, we can have multiple levels of parent-child relationships in the Gantt Chart. The below code snippets demonstrate the solution.

Homecontroller.cs

GanttDataSource Record1 = new GanttDataSource()

{

TaskId = 1,

TaskName = "Project Initiation",

StartDate = new DateTime(2019, 03, 29),

EndDate = new DateTime(2019, 04, 21),

SubTasks = new List<GanttDataSource>(),

};

GanttDataSource Record1Child1 = new GanttDataSource()

{

TaskId = 2,

TaskName = "Identify Site Location",

StartDate = new DateTime(2019, 03, 29),

Duration = 3,

Progress = 30,

Work = 10,

SubTasks = new List<GanttDataSource>(),

};

Record1.SubTasks.Add(Record1Child1);

Is it possible to disable editing progress ? i.e read-only progress.

Yes, we have support for read-only in Gantt chart. You can enable it by setting the readOnly property to true. Please refer our Online Documentation for more information.

Hi,

Thanks, but I think there is misunderstanding about 2. And 3.

About 3, I want to disable editing just for “progress”. “ I don't want to disable editing for all properties. “

About 1, I understand that we can define multiple levels, but I want to know is it possible to make "top level" tasks to behave like as their children. Specifically, I want to define relationship between "top level (parent)" tasks.
