Columns in Blazor Gantt Chart Component

13 Mar 202424 minutes to read

The column displays information from a bound data source, and you can edit the values of column to update the task details through Tree Grid. The operations such as sorting, filtering, and searching can be performed based on column definitions. To display a Gantt Chart column, the Field property should be mapped from the data source to the column.

NOTE

If the column Field is not specified in the data source, the column values will be empty.

The TreeColumnIndex property is used to define the expander column in the Gantt Chart component to expand and collapse the child rows.

Defining columns

Using the GanttColumns property, you can define the columns and custom columns in Gantt Chart. If the columns are not defined, then the default columns will be rendered based on the mapped data source fields in the GanttTaskFields property. If custom columns are required, then you can generate columns that was not defined in the GanttTaskFields property.Refer to the following code example for defining the columns in Gantt Chart along with their widths.

Blazor Gantt Chart with Custom Column

Header template

NOTE

Before adding the header template to the Gantt Chart, it is strongly recommended to go through the template section topic to configure the template.

The Header Template has options to display custom element values or content in the header. You can use the HeaderTemplate of the GanttColumn component to specify the custom content.

To format the cell values based on a specific culture, use the GanttColumn.Format property. The Blazor Gantt Chart component uses the Internationalization library to format number and date values.

Blazor Gantt Chart with Column Formatting

NOTE

By default, the number and date values are formatted in en-US culture.

Number formatting

The number or integer values can be formatted using the following format strings.

Format Description Remarks
N Denotes numeric type. The numeric format is followed by an integer value like N2 or N3, which denotes the number of precisions to be allowed.
C Denotes currency type. The currency format is followed by an integer value like C2 or C3, which denotes the number of precisions to be allowed.
P Denotes percentage type The percentage format expects the input value to be in the range of 0 to 100. For example, the cell value 0.2 is formatted as 20%. The percentage format is followed by an integer value like P2, P3, which denotes the number of precisions to be allowed.

Date formatting

You can format date values either using the built-in date format string or a custom format string. For the built-in date format, you can specify the GanttColumn.Format property as string (example: yMd).

You can also use the custom format string to format the date values. Some of the custom formats and the formatted date values are given in the following table.

Format Formatted value
{ type:’date’, format:’dd/MM/yyyy’ } 04/07/2022
{ type:’date’, format:’dd.MM.yyyy’ } 04.07.2022
{ type:’date’, skeleton:’short’ } 7/4/22
{ type: ‘dateTime’, format: ‘dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm tt’ } 04/07/2022 12:00 AM

Blazor Gantt Chart with Date Format

Autofit columns

The Gantt chart has a feature that allows to automatically adjust column widths based on the maximum content width of each column when you double-click on the resizer symbol located in a specific column header. This feature ensures that all data in the Gantt chart rows is displayed without wrapping. To use this feature, set the AllowResizing property to true.

Blazor Gantt Chart with Autofit Column

Resizing a column to fit its content using method

In Gantt chart, you can automatically adjust specific column width based on the maximum content width of each column, ensuring that the width displays the content without wrapping or hiding by using AutoFitColumnsAsync method. You can autofit specific columns at initial rendering by invoking the AutoFitColumnsAsync method in DataBound event.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Gantt

Change tree/expander column

The tree/expander column is a column in the Gantt Chart component that has icons to expand or collapse the parent records. You can define the tree column index in the Gantt Chart component by using the TreeColumnIndex property and the default value of this property is 0. The following code example shows how to use this property.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Gantt
    <SfGantt DataSource="@TaskCollection" TreeColumnIndex="2" Height="450px" Width="700px">
        <GanttTaskFields Id="TaskId" Name="TaskName" StartDate="StartDate" EndDate="EndDate"

    </SfGantt>
@code{
    private List<TaskData> TaskCollection { get; set; }
    protected override void OnInitialized()
    {
        this.TaskCollection = GetTaskCollection();
    }

    public class TaskData
    {
        public int TaskId { get; set; }
        public string TaskName { get; set; }
        public DateTime StartDate { get; set; }
        public DateTime? EndDate { get; set; }
        public string Duration { get; set; }
        public int Progress { get; set; }
        public int? ParentId { get; set; }
    }

    public static List<TaskData> GetTaskCollection()
    {
        List<TaskData> Tasks = new List<TaskData>() 
        {
            new TaskData() { TaskId = 1, TaskName = "Project initiation", StartDate = new DateTime(2022, 04, 05), EndDate = new DateTime(2022, 04, 21), },

Column type

Column type can be specified using the GanttColumn.Type property. It specifies the type of data the column binds. If the GanttColumn.Format is defined for a column, the column uses GanttColumn.Type to select the appropriate format option number or date.

Gantt column supports the following types:

  • String
  • Number
  • Boolean
  • Date
  • DateTime
  • DateOnly
  • TimeOnly

NOTE

If the GanttColumn.Type is not defined, it will be determined from the first record of the DataSource. If the first record of the DataSource is null/blank value for a column then it is necessary to define the GanttColumn.Type for that column.

NOTE

The DateOnly and TimeOnly formats are supported in custom columns in the Gantt Chart.
