Solutions Schedule for COM

What’s New in Solutions Schedule for COM v11:

• Schedule Area Notes - set specific notes and representative note images within the Gantt scheduling area. Customize Note image, text presentation and location of the Note.
• Tips on Schedule Area Notes - to present the text of the note to the user when the mouse hovers over a note.
• Line Arrows - arrow images to denote that more time bars are out of the current view; in a previous view or in the next view forward.
• Line Arrow Events - fire when a user clicks on an arrow allowing the developer to present and/or programmatically scroll to the next or previous time bar, or a time bar selected from a list, not visible in the schedule area within a schedule item. A great addition when wanting to indicate that there are other schedule commitments set in a schedule plan that are not in view. (similar to the more time bars functionality in Solutions Schedule for .NET)
• Time Bar height definition - gets the height of the time bars in a schedule. Developers can cast a standard time bar height definition for an entire schedule plan.
• Line height definition - gets the default line height of the resource list and schedule areas. Another tool in the scheduling toolbox for enhancing presentations of the Resource List and Gantt Schedule areas.
• Time Bar Linking / Unlinking enhanced - a set of before linking events and enhanced unlinking methods have been added providing developers increased programmatic control when time bars are being linked or unlinked.
