Maintain zoomToFit

17 Feb 202224 minutes to read

In the Gantt control, While performing edit actions or dynamically change dataSource, the timeline gets refreshed. When zoomToFit toolbar item is clicked and perform editing actions or dynamically change dataSource, the timeline gets refreshed. So that, the timeline will not fit to the project any more.

Maintain zoomToFit after edit actions

We can maintain zoomToFit after editing actions(cell edit,dialog edit,taskbar edit) by using fitToProject method in actionComplete and taskbarEdited event.

@Html.EJS().Gantt("Gantt").DataSource((IEnumerable<object>)ViewBag.DataSource).ActionComplete("actionComplete").TaskbarEdited("taskbarEdited").Height("450px").TaskFields(ts =>
     ts.Id("TaskId").Name("TaskName").StartDate("StartDate").EndDate("EndDate").Duration("Duration").Progress("Progress").Dependency(
         "Predecessor").Child("SubTasks")).Toolbar(new List<string>()
         {"Edit","ZoomToFit" }).LabelSettings(ls => ls.LeftLabel("TaskName")).EditSettings(es =>
       es.AllowTaskbarEditing(true).AllowEditing(true)).ProjectStartDate("03/24/2019").ProjectEndDate(
             "04/28/2019").Render()

<script>
    function actionComplete(args) {
        if ((args.action === "CellEditing" || args.action === "DialogEditing") && args.requestType === "save") {
            var obj = document.getElementById("Gantt").ej2_instances[0];
            obj.dataSource = '@(ViewBag.DataSource)';
            obj.fitToProject();
        }
    }
    function taskbarEdited(args) {
        if (args) {
            var obj = document.getElementById("Gantt").ej2_instances[0];
            obj.dataSource = '@(ViewBag.DataSource)'; 
            obj.fitToProject();
        }
    }

Maintain zoomToFit after change dataSource dynamically

We can maintain zoomToFit after change dataSource dynamically, by calling fitToProject method in dataBound event.

@Html.EJS().Button("changedata").Content("Change Data").CssClass("e-primary").Render()

@Html.EJS().Gantt("Gantt").DataSource((IEnumerable<object>)ViewBag.DataSource).DataBound("dataBound").Height("450px").TaskFields(ts =>
     ts.Id("TaskId").Name("TaskName").StartDate("StartDate").EndDate("EndDate").Duration("Duration").Progress("Progress").Dependency(
         "Predecessor").Child("SubTasks")).Toolbar(new List<string>()
         {"ZoomToFit" }).LabelSettings(ls => ls.LeftLabel("TaskName")).ProjectStartDate("03/24/2019").ProjectEndDate(
             "04/28/2019").Render()

<script>
        document.getElementById('changedata').addEventListener('click', function (args) {
            var ganttObj = document.getElementById('Gantt').ej2_instances[0];

        });
        function dataBound(args) {
            var ganttObj = document.getElementById('Gantt').ej2_instances[0];
            obj.fitToProject();
    }
