The GUI element is designed for WPF .NET applications. Allows the developer to show tasks grouped in a timeline. An element can include multiple Items within which multiple Jobs can be included. Jobs must not overlap. The control is under development.

Some features:

• When the work is small - a sign is shown
• Scroll up and down elements
• Scroll left and right in time
• Mouse and bind controls
• Does not use third party libraries

Installation

dotnet add package TimelinerNet

Usage

It has the data structure shown below. Arrange your data in these structures:

TimelinerData
    List<TimelinerItem> Items
        string Name
        string Description
        List<TimelinerJob> Jobs
            string Name
            string TextUp
            string TextDown
            string TextRight
            Brush Color
            bool IsStripedColor
            DateTime Begin
            DateTime End

To use it, you need to insert a XAML element.

• Data - TimelinerData | Restriction for setting by the user. Less than this value, the user will not be able to set.
• Now - DateTime | At this time, a red marker will be shown.
• LeftEdge - DateTime | Left border of screen time.
• RightEdge - DateTime | Right border of screen time.
• TrackNow - bool | When changed the Now parameter, the time bar will follow it.

<tl:Timeliner Data="{Binding Data}"/>

Don't forget to add the library to the list:

<Window x:Class="Example.MainWindow"
        ...
        xmlns:tl="clr-namespace:TimelinerNet;assembly=TimelinerNet"
        ...

In addition. Clicking on a Job shows a Popup with additional information. To change the view of this window, use the DataTemplatePopup property.

<tl:Timeliner Data="{Binding Data}">
    <tl:Timeliner.DataTemplatePopup>
        <DataTemplate>
            <StackPanel>
                <TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}"/>
                <TextBlock Text="{Binding CustomObject.CustomString}" TextWrapping="Wrap"/>
                <TextBlock Text="{Binding Begin, StringFormat={}{0:dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm}}"/>
            </StackPanel>
        </DataTemplate>
    </tl:Timeliner.DataTemplatePopup>
</tl:Timeliner>
