The Exontrol's ExG2antt component is our approach to create timeline charts (also known as Gantt charts). Gantt chart is a time-phased graphic display of activity durations. Activities are listed with other tabular information on the left side with time intervals over the bars. Activity durations are shown in the form of horizontal bars. The ex(G)rid-ex(G)antt, shortly exG2antt, combines the ExGrid and ExGantt components in a standalone component. The exG2antt component shows timeline charts on a multi-columns tree control. The ExG2antt component lets the user changes its visual appearance using skins, each one providing an additional visual experience that enhances viewing pleasure. Skins are relatively easy to build and put on any part of the control.
