Bah, vaporware!?! Yeah, ok, so you're right to think that I wasn't planning on spending alot of time on that Gantt chart component, and I realize that example is VERY basic and not even close to a complete gantt chart component, but making it into a better component is in the back of my mind. And I do watch this list (and the blog posts and all that noise).
I think Adobe's position is that they're not going to make a Gantt chart (or whatever Component X you want) anytime soon, and that they'd like the community to really step up to make some of these components that people want. There's no reason someone can't take the approach I took with my example and add all the functionality you want. I might do it piece by piece as well, but it's not a top priority for me right now. So I think the better approach is to lay out what you want, just like you did here, and ask people in the community to do it. Or even better, take a stab at it yourself and ask people to help.

Sort of, but his example, although cool, is just vapor ware. I would imagine a full fledge Gantt component to have a time lineline, an api to set startDate, endDate and percent complete. A way to save the "state" of a chart to use in base lining. A way to set relations between tasks like start/start or finish/start. For an even more advanced chart I would like to be able to extend it so that I could assign a resource to a task. I would like the gantt chart to have a grid connected to it to show the values of what the chart represents (i.e. start date, duration, resource). That's just a few features that I would like to see. I don't really think it would be that hard for adobe to make something like this. -Nate --- In [email protected] <flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com>, "Andrew Muller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Nate > > You mean something like this: > > http://dougmccune.com/blog/2007/02/01/building-a-gantt-chart-component-in-flex/ > > Andrew > > > On 16 Mar 2007 22:08:00 -0700, Nate Pearson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I just asked some adobe people at Apollo Camp but they didn't know. > > They suggested that I explicitly ask the question on flex coders. > > > > So here it is. > > > > Will there be any gantt chart type component in new versions of flex? > > Will the scheduler that is in labs be expanded to work as a gantt chart? > > > > Thanks guys, I'm really enjoying Apollo Camp. > > > > -Nate > > > > > > > -- > ---------------------------------------------------------- > Andrew Muller > http://www.webqem.com >
