3. Main bar plans

More independent main bars or milestones in one row

• There are five tutorials for Gantt task types and features:
  • 1. Simple Main bar and Milestone - Continuous bar or one milestone
  • 2. Main bar parts - Discrete main bar with more milestones
  • 3. Main bar plans - More independent main bars or milestones in one row
  • 6. Run bar as task - Complex and extended Gantt task from individual parts
  • 7. Run box as task - Every Run box as independent Gantt task
• See documentation for Main bar
• The count of main bar plans is defined by

  GanttCount

  . There is no limit of the plans count. The plans are independent.
  
• The individual plan attributes are defined by attributes with the plan number suffix. The first plan (0) has no suffix.
  For example there are GanttStart for plan 0, GanttStart1 for plan 1, GanttStart2 for plan 2 and so on.
• The individual plans can be defined as continuous by

  GanttStartX

  and

  GanttEndX

  or

  GanttDurationX

  .
  Or can be defined as discrete main bar by

  GanttParts

  attribute.
  It is possible to use different attributes to define the individual plans in one grid.
• To support dependencies, resources, manual start, percentage completion and disabled / locked state there must be set

  GanttTask

  to the main bar plan like "Main", "Main1", "Main2", ... or for all plans as "All". Default setting is GanttTask="Main" = only the first main bar plan supports the task features.
• By default it is not possible to drag dependencies between bars in different plans, to permit them, set GanttDragDependenciesBetween>=1.
  If there are more plans with possible dependencies, the dependency definition must contain the plan identification.
• For all the other attributes and usage see the previous tutorials 1. Simple Main bar and Milestone or 2. Main bar parts.
