Hello,
after upgrading to 15.1.8 the whole Designer for the XtraChart changed and I am not able to drag DateTime properties to the Value1 and Value2 cells.
In 14.1 it was possible to set Value scale type to DateTime.
I cannot find any options to define this.
How do I create a Gantt chart over TimeDate values?
Kind regards
Eric
We have fixed the issue described in this ticket and will include the fix in our next maintenance update. To apply this solution before the official update, request a hotfix by clicking the corresponding link for product versions you require.
Note: Hotfixes may be unavailable for beta versions and updates that are about to be released.
I have found the option for setting the ValueScaleType.
But are you serious with this procedere?
You create a Gantt and cannot set the values to DateTime properties because you have to change the ValueScaleType in the properties tab. But you get an error trying to set it to DateTime because there are dummy values which are autocreated and prevent the property from being changed. So you have to navigate to the Points in the menu left side to delete every single autocreated Point.
After that you can set the ValueScaleType to DateTime and than you can set the value property.
This is really bad handling for the user so maybe it would be a good idea to change the ValueScaleType automatically when a value property is set.
Also it seems there is a skin problem after dragging the properties.
It results in white forecolor on white backcolor with Visual Studio Dark Style (lower right side in the attachement).
Kind regards
Eric
Hello Eric,
In order not to mix several problems in one thread, I have opened a separate issue on your behalf:
Chart wizard has incorrect button appearance with the Visual Studio Dark Style skin
Please refer to this report for further discussion. We are ready to improve our new wizard as well. I have passed this thread to our developers for further research. Once we have any news, we will update this thread.
