Drag and drop from another in React Gantt component

2 Feb 202314 minutes to read

In Gantt, it is possible to drag a record from another component and drop it in Gantt chart with updating the Gantt record. Here, dragging an item from TreeView component to Gantt and that item is updated as a resource for the Gantt record, we can achieve this, by using nodeDragStop event of TreeView control.
