How to customize the dialog fields in ASP.NET Web Forms Gantt?
In Gantt control, user can enable or disable required fields in both edit dialog box and add dialog box for all the predefined columns and custom columns with the help of “EditDialogFields” and “AddDialogFields” property. The provided fields in the “EditDialogFields” and “AddDialogFields” property alone will be displayed in the dialog box of the Gantt chart.
Please refer the following code snippets for more details.
Code snippets:
ASP
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server"
//...
<ej:Gantt ID="Gantt" runat="server"
//...

<AddDialogFields>
<ej:AddDialogField Field="Id" />
<ej:AddDialogField Field="Name" />
<ej:AddDialogField Field="StartDate" />

{
