Grid Manipulation (Cell Coloring, Column Re-Ordering etc.)

We have the need to manipulate the grid portion of the dhtmlGantt component dynamically by changing cell colors based on data, allowing the user to change column order etc. Basically the stuff that is allowed with dhtmlxGrid and dhtmlxTreeGrid. Is this possible? Can we get at the underlying grid component in dhtmlxGantt and work with it directly?

Hello,
unfortunately you can’t get at the underlying grid component in dhtmlxGantt and work with it directly.
You can use templates of grid and add css class with needed styles.

Templates of the Grid:

Thanks Polina. I see in the Gantt Roadmap thread that there is a feature listed for the February (v4.1) release for “Public interfaces for grid and timeline”. It says this allows for using a custom grid instead of the default one. This seems like what we would need. Do you know the estimated timeframe for that feature to be released?

Thanks for your help!

Hello,
we plan to finish it before the next update, so it will be included in v4.1.
Althouhg the ETA for the relase has shifted to late March - early April 2016
