GanttBarStyle.ParentStyle

GanttBarStyle.ParentStyle property

Gets or sets parent (or common) style for custom task-specific style.

public GanttBarStyle ParentStyle { get; set; }

Remarks

Task can have multiple custom styles with different parent styles. For example consider task having custom style with “Critical” parent style and another style with “Normal” parent style. Simply put, if task is critical, the first style is applied. If task becomes non-critical, the second style is applied (this logic is inherited from Microsoft Project Professional).

Examples

Shows how to read custom bar styles of a view.

var project = new Project(DataDir + "CustomBarStyle.mpp");

var view = (GanttChartView)project.DefaultView;
Console.WriteLine("Custom bar styles count: {0}", view.CustomBarStyles.Count);

var style1 = view.CustomBarStyles[0];
Console.WriteLine("Style1.ParentStyle Name: {0}", style1.ParentStyle.Name);
Console.WriteLine("Style1.LeftField: {0}", style1.LeftField);
Console.WriteLine("Style1.RightField: {0}", style1.RightField);
Console.WriteLine("Style1.TopField: {0}", style1.TopField);
Console.WriteLine("Style1.BottomField: {0}", style1.BottomField);
Console.WriteLine("Style1.InsideField: {0}", style1.InsideField);
Console.WriteLine("Style1.From: {0}", style1.From);
Console.WriteLine("Style1.To: {0}", style1.To);
Console.WriteLine("Style1.Row: {0}", style1.Row);

var style2 = view.CustomBarStyles[1];
Console.WriteLine("Style2.LeftField: {0}", style2.LeftField);
Console.WriteLine("Style2.RightField: {0}", style2.RightField);
Console.WriteLine("Style2.TopField: {0}", style2.TopField);
Console.WriteLine("Style2.BottomField: {0}", style2.BottomField);
Console.WriteLine("Style2.InsideField: {0}", style2.InsideField);
Console.WriteLine("Style2.From: {0}", style2.From);
Console.WriteLine("Style2.To: {0}", style2.To);
Console.WriteLine("Style2.Row: {0}", style1.Row);

var style3 = view.CustomBarStyles[2];
Console.WriteLine("Style3.LeftField: {0}", style3.LeftField);
Console.WriteLine("Style3.RightField: {0}", style3.RightField);
Console.WriteLine("Style3.TopField: {0}", style3.TopField);
Console.WriteLine("Style3.BottomField: {0}", style3.BottomField);
Console.WriteLine("Style3.InsideField: {0}", style3.InsideField);

Console.WriteLine("Style3.StartShape: {0}", style3.StartShape);
Console.WriteLine("Style3.StartShapeType: {0}", style3.StartShapeType);
Console.WriteLine("Style3.StartShapeColor: {0}", style3.StartShapeColor);

Console.WriteLine("Style3.EndShape: {0}", style3.EndShape);
Console.WriteLine("Style3.EndShapeType: {0}", style3.EndShapeType);
Console.WriteLine("Style3.EndShapeColor: {0}", style3.EndShapeColor);

Console.WriteLine("Style3.MiddleShape: {0}", style3.MiddleShape);
Console.WriteLine("Style3.MiddleFillPattern: {0}", style3.MiddleFillPattern);
Console.WriteLine("Style3.MiddleShapeColor: {0}", style3.MiddleShapeColor);
Console.WriteLine("Style3.From: {0}", style3.From);
Console.WriteLine("Style3.To: {0}", style3.To);
Console.WriteLine("Style3.Row: {0}", style1.Row);
