Generally in Gantt, Custom fields are displayed in the Custom Tab of the Add/Edit dialogs. However, they can be included in the General Tab of Add/Edit Dialog Box using actionBegin and actionComplete events. These events are used to append the custom field to the dialog box. The following code snippets demonstrate the solution.
var divElement;
var inputs = {
booleanedit: ej.buttons.CheckBox,
dropdownedit: ej.dropdowns.DropDownList,
datepickeredit: ej.calendars.DatePicker,
datetimepickeredit: ej.calendars.DateTimePicker,
maskededit: ej.inputs.MaskedTextBox,
numericedit: ej.inputs.NumericTextBox,
stringedit: ej.inputs.TextBox
};
var gantt = new ej.gantt.Gantt({
dataSource: GanttData,
height:'450px',
taskFields: {
id: 'TaskID',
name: 'TaskName',
startDate: 'StartDate',
duration: 'Duration',
progress: 'Progress',
child: 'subtasks',
},
editSettings: {
allowAdding: true,
allowEditing: true,
allowDeleting: true,
mode: "Auto"
},
columns: [
{ field: 'TaskID', width: '150' },
{ field: 'TaskName', width: '250' },
{ field: 'StartDate', width: '250' },
{ field: 'Duration', width: '250' },
{ field: 'Progress', width: '250' },
{ field: 'CustomField', width: '250' }
],
toolbar: ['Add', 'Cancel', 'CollapseAll', 'Delete', 'Edit', 'ExpandAll', 'Update'],
editDialogFields: [
{ type: 'General', headerText: 'General' },
{ type: 'Dependency' },
{ type: 'Resources' },
{ type: 'Notes' }
],
addDialogFields: [
{ type: 'General', headerText: 'General' },
{ type: 'Dependency' },
{ type: 'Resources' },
{ type: 'Notes' }
],
actionBegin: function(args) {
if (args.requestType === "beforeOpenEditDialog" || args.requestType === "beforeOpenAddDialog" ) {
var column = this.columnByField["CustomField"];
divElement = this.createElement("div", {
className: "e-edit-form-column"
});
var inputElement;
inputElement = this.createElement("input", {
attrs: {
type: "text",
id: this.controlId + "" + column.field,
name: column.field,
title: column.field
}
});
divElement.appendChild(inputElement);
var input = {
enabled: true,
floatLabelType: "Auto",
placeholder: "CustomField",
value: args.rowData.CustomField
};
var inputObj = new inputs[column.editType](input);
inputObj.appendTo(inputElement);
}
},
actionComplete: function(args) {
if (args.requestType === "openEditDialog" || args.requestType === "openAddDialog") {
var generalTab = document.getElementById(
this.controlId + "GeneralTabContainer"
);
generalTab.appendChild(divElement);
}
}
});
