Overriding Dependency Setup Behavior

By default when the user connects 2 tasks a "Finish to Start" dependency will be setup. You can override this behavior to change the dependency type or simply cancel/prevent dependency between specific tasks by providing a NewDependencyValidator method as follows:

var $gantt_container = $('#gantt_container');

$gantt_container.GanttControl({

DataSource: self.jsonData,

});

var GanttControl = $gantt_container.data("GanttControl");

GanttControl.Model.NewDependencyValidator = NewDependencyValidator;

Then implement the above method as follows:

function NewDependencyValidator(/*IActivity*/ from, /*IActivity*/ to, /*NewDependencyAddScenarioType*/ addType) {

// Setup a workaround to change default dependency types to FF rather than FS.

if (addType == RadiantQ.Gantt.Model.NewDependencyAddScenarioType.UserDragDrop) {

// If the user has connected 2 tasks in the Chart to setup dependency, first cancel that op, by returning false below....

setTimeout(function () {

// .... and instead create a new FF dependency here.

GanttControl.Model.CreateNewDependency(from, to, RadiantQ.Gantt.DependencyType.FinishToFinish, RQTimeSpan.Zero);

}, 0);

return false;

}

else {

// All other scenarios, simply return true to allow normal processing.

return true;

}
