Getting started with TMS FNC Gantt Chart Print IO

TTMSFNCGanttChartPrintIO prints a Gantt chart. This page sends a chart to the printer in a few lines; the Guides cover print modes, column selection, and page breaks.

Prerequisites

  • TMS FNC Core installed.
  • TMS FNC Gantt Chart installed and its runtime package referenced.
  • A configured TTMSFNCGanttChart on the form with tasks loaded.

Add the component

  1. Drop a TTMSFNCGanttChartPrintIO from the TMS FNC Gantt Chart palette page onto the form.
  2. Assign the chart and print:
Print a chart with selected columnsPascalC++
procedure TForm1.PrintChart;
begin
  GanttChartPrintIO1.GanttChart := GanttChart1;

  GanttChartPrintIO1.GanttChartPrintExportOptions.Mode := emBoth;

  GanttChartPrintIO1.GanttChartPrintExportOptions.TaskListColumns.Clear;
  GanttChartPrintIO1.GanttChartPrintExportOptions.TaskListColumns.AddColumn('wbs', 'WBS', 80, 60);
  GanttChartPrintIO1.GanttChartPrintExportOptions.TaskListColumns.AddColumn('taskname', 'Task', 160, 120);
  GanttChartPrintIO1.GanttChartPrintExportOptions.TaskListColumns.AddColumn('startdate', 'Start', 90, 70);

  GanttChartPrintIO1.Options.PageOrientation := TPrinterOrientation.poLandscape;

  // Send the chart to the default printer.
  GanttChartPrintIO1.Print;
end;

void __fastcall TForm1::PrintChart()
{
  GanttChartPrintIO1->GanttChart = GanttChart1;

  GanttChartPrintIO1->GanttChartPrintExportOptions->Mode = emBoth;

  GanttChartPrintIO1->GanttChartPrintExportOptions->TaskListColumns->Clear();
  GanttChartPrintIO1->GanttChartPrintExportOptions->TaskListColumns->AddColumn("wbs", "WBS", 80, 60);
  GanttChartPrintIO1->GanttChartPrintExportOptions->TaskListColumns->AddColumn("taskname", "Task", 160, 120);
  GanttChartPrintIO1->GanttChartPrintExportOptions->TaskListColumns->AddColumn("startdate", "Start", 90, 70);

  GanttChartPrintIO1->Options->PageOrientation = TPrinterOrientation::poLandscape;

  // Send the chart to the default printer.
  GanttChartPrintIO1->Print();
}

Print sends the chart to the default printer using the configured export options and page orientation.
