The Entry Point of the Sample
The main function of the sample is defined in <ILVHOME>/samples/gantt/month/src/month.cpp. If you look at the source code, you will find the follows tasks accomplished in the main function:
*The display is created.
*The main window of the sample is created.
*The customized Gantt chart object is created and added to the main window.
*The toolbar manipulating the Gantt chart is created.
*The graphic models of the Gantt chart are specified.
