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"}
];
  1. 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"
