Perforce JViews Gantt Sample: Activity Chart and Calendar

Description

This sample demonstrates the monthly and daily calendar view Gantt components.

How to Use the Sample

The Month tab on the right of the chart contains the monthly calendar view component. The Day tab contains the daily calendar view component.

Both daily and monthly calendar views display Gantt data model leaf activities and milestones. Views are automatically updated when activities are modified in the Gantt chart. Both views accept a static Gantt data model containing holidays. By default, holidays are rendered distinctly in green.
The following interactions are available when the Month calendar tab is selected:
- Use the vertical scroll bar or mouse wheel to change the month currently being viewed.
- Press the control key while scrolling with the mouse wheel to advance or push back the calendar by year.
- As you scroll in the Month tab, the daily calendar view is updated to display the first day of the current month selected.
- Click a day in the Month tab to center the Gantt chart on that date. The daily calendar view is updated to display the corresponding date when you select the Day tab.
- Click an activity or milestone for it to be selected in the Gantt chart and the Day tab. Drag the mouse to move the activity or milestone to a different day.
- Use the Control key to toggle selection and the Shift key to select multiple activities or milestones.
- Double-click a day to switch to the Day tab for that date.
The following interactions are available when the Day calendar tab is selected:
- Press the control key while using the mouse wheel to scroll by days. The monthly calendar view is updated so that the current month is displayed when the Month calendar tab is selected.
- Click an activity or milestone in the Day calendar tab for it to be selected in the Gantt chart. The Gantt chart is centered on the activity or milestone selected.
- Click and vertically drag an activity or milestone in the hourly sheet grid to move it to a different time of day.
- Use the Control key to toggle selection and the Shift key to select multiple activities or milestones.
