I'm using UltraWebCharts to plot Gantt chart in my Web form.
1.I want to give user interactions in Gantt chart where user can select a time range on x-axis just like we do in outlook. Is it possible?
2. Able to give scroll bar on x axis but its not working. How can I make it working? Is there property need to set?
Hello Harjot,
After investigating this further, I determined that the Gantt chart does not support user interactions.
Additionally, setting scrollbar on the Gantt chart could be achieved by setting the EnableScrollBar property to true. However, the scrollbar which is displayed is the vertical one. I am currently looking into enabling the horizontal scrollbar. I will keep you posted on my progress and I will get back to you soon with more information or questions for you.

Hi Monika,
Thank you for your reply.
1.Are user interactions possible on Windows forms control?2. Please let me know if you find solution for horizontal scrollbar.
User interactions are not supported by Charts in Windows Forms either. The charts are used in order to visually represent data.
Regarding the horizontal scrollbar, I determined that the scrollbar depends on the amount of data displayed in the chart. The chart is automatically resizing the bars, in order to fit them in the container. When the data no longer could fit in the container a scrollbar would be displayed.
If the data is not fully visible and scrollbar is still not displayed, could you please provide a small runnable isolated sample that reproduces the issue.
Please note that due to the upcoming Christmas holidays you may experience slight delay in support responses.
Thank you for your understanding!
Hello Monika,
As you said size of bars are resized automatically in order in order to fit inside the container.
So, I provided Date range for 500 days, but still scroll bar is not working, x axis grid lines are almost overlapping eachother in order to fit inside a scroll window.
Neither scrollbar is working nor data is visible properly
How to proceed?
Please guide me if I'm taking a wrong approach.
After further investigation, the Gantt chart is limited to only one scrollbar, which is on the y axis.

A possible workaround is to increase the width of the chart and place it in a scrollable DIV to create a similar scrolling effect. I have created an attached a small sample for your reference.
