Textarea Control

A multiline text field.

Initialization

One textarea control is added to the lightbox by default. To add another one, follow the steps below:

1) Add a section to the lightbox configuration:

gantt.config.lightbox.sections = [
    {name:"description", height:38, map_to:"desc", type:"textarea",focus:true},
    {name:"details",     height:38, map_to:"text", type:"textarea"},     {name:"time",        height:72, map_to:"auto", type:"duration"}
];

2) Set a label for the section:

gantt.locale.labels.section_details = "Details";

Properties

The following properties are mostly important and commonly set for the textarea control (see the full list here):

name - (string) the section name
height - (number) the section height
map_to - (string) the name of a data property that will be mapped to the section
type - (string) the type of the section control
focus - (boolean) if set to true, the section will take focus on opening the lightbox
default_value - (any) the default value of the section's control. Applied only if the input value is underfined. Won't work with map_to:"text"
