Editors
In order to modify the information shown in a Gantt chart it is necessary for the FlexGantt framework to provide editors to edit the data. Editing can take place in the following components:
Tree Table - each cell within the tree table can be a candidate for editing. Editors for doing so are looked up based on the type of the object found in that cell. If no object exists then the default object type associated with the column in which the cell is located will be used for the lookup operation.
Timeline Object Layer - if a timeline object supports in-place editing then a so-called timeline object editor will be looked up based on the type of the timeline object. The editor will be shown right next to the timeline object on a special „editing layer“ in the layer container. Applications are free to choose if this is the way they want the user to edit the data or if they would rather implement the editing feature in a separate dialog.
