Hi guys, is there a way to customise the headers for the Track Control so I can have dates on there for instance?

guessing this ain't possible, would be a nice feature to have so it can be used for scheduling!

Hi,

I would like to know if this too is possible?

I have been asked to look into creating a bespoke planning/scheduling tool and I found this TrackControl tool, this seems like it could work for a gantt style chart. I am looking to customise the headers into Hours, Days or Months, is this be possible or not?

Thanks.

It would be really nice if the TrackControl could work with dates!

yes this can be done. we did it for our timeline feature in WinGate 7.  You need to override the paint manager for the header.



we also customized the drawing of blocks (added gradient and rounded edges).

We found when dealing with large ranges of time, that the top slider becomes largely unusable, so we added a control bar at the bottom to aid zooming and scrolling.

@ adrien

Could you possibly post some sample code on how you override the PaintManager.

Hopefully the two versions might be similar enough to allow us to do the same.

we just derived from CXTPTrackPaintManager for our paint manager.

then we added support for time / position
override:

virtual void DrawTrackHeader(CDC* pDC);
virtual void DrawTimeLine(CDC* pDC);

to set the paint manager on the track control just call SetPaintManager with an instance of our derived class.

The fun/pain is in the implementation of the actual derived paint manager :)

Hi folks,

Just to let you all know I have had a support ticket in for this since the end of last year and Oleg has let me have a look at a beta example of the Track Control for v15. I don't believe this is available in the beta download from the site, just in case you look and can't find it!

As you can see this now allows for full customisation of the Label, however I have asked if possible that we could have another label on top that allows us to have a Group Header label. Similar to that of the one posted above by Adrien.

But this certainly looks like we are heading in the right direction with the Track Control to allow this to be used as a Gantt Chart Wink

If you have any idea's I will gladly post them on my support ticket. If Oleg can deliver then I am sure we will be onto a winner with this customisation of the Track Control.

Hi,

Again just to let everyone know I had asked CJ for an update to the recent TimeLineLabel addition for custom labels and will be released with v15.0.2. Who says CJ doesn't answer support requests... Not me!!!

The issue I raised was that I had to use the step increment as 1 to denote each day of a month, therefore I could correctly display the months. However on doing so I found it hard to see which of the steps related to the customised label. So I asked for the ability to change the step colour and length (see screenshot below) and a day later it's implemented in v15.0.2:



Got to give a big thanks to Oleg for this one!

Hi leeyn,

You should be able to customise this for hours! It wouldn't be too hard to do.

How to change the timeline to date format? Can you share the code here? 

Thank for help.

Hi,

I believe this can only be done in v15.1.3 and forward (possibly one of the of the builds before v15.1.3) from what I remember but it's simple to do.

When setting up the TrackControl add:
'Manually set TimeLine Step:

.PaintManager.TimeLineStep = 1

.PaintManager.TimeLineStepAuto = False

    

'Allow Format TimeLine Label

.PaintManager.CustomTimeLineLabel = True

Then using the TrackControl_TimeLineLabel event you can change the Label, TickColor & TickLength fields.

PS. You format "Label" with the date format you need to display.
