Details

The event:

  • Fires each time the user makes a drag movement with the mouse in the timeline area: moves, resizes a task or changes the task's progress.
  • The type of a drag movement is passed as the 2nd argument - mode.
  • All available values of the drag movement's type are stored in the drag_mode property.

Shortly, all happens in the following order:

  1. The user makes a move.
  2. dhtmlxGantt recalculates the task's date according to the new position.
  3. dhtmlxGantt fires the onTaskDrag event.
  4. dhtmlxGantt re-renders the task in the Gantt chart.
