Column Menu in Blazor Gantt Chart Component

4 Nov 20254 minutes to read

The column menu in the Blazor Gantt component offers built-in actions including sorting, filtering, column chooser, and autofit. It appears when the column header icon is clicked.

To enable this feature, set ShowColumnMenu to true in the Gantt configuration. Also enable AllowSorting, AllowFiltering, and AllowResizing to support the corresponding actions.

The following built-in column menu items are available:

Item Description
Sort Ascending Sort the current column in ascending order.
Sort Descending Sort the current column in descending order.
Auto Fit Auto fit the current column.
Auto Fit All Auto fit all columns.
Column Chooser Choose column visibility.
Filter Displays filtering options based on FilterSettings.FilterType.
