GroupBarsOptionsEnum Constants (ExG2antt)

The GroupBarsOptionEnum type specifies the way two bars gets grouped together. It may specify to prevent changing the lengths of the bars, or limit the interval between them when grouping. The GroupBars method groups two bars, so they are moving or resizing together, when any bar in the group changes.

The length of the bar and interval between two bars are defined as follows:

The length of the bar is the same as its duration, in other words it is the difference between ending date of the bar and starting date of the bar. If the ItemBar(exBarKeepWorkingCount) property of the bar is True, the length indicates the bar's working count ( ItemBar(exBarWorkingCount) property )
The interval between bars is the same as the distance between the starting and ending points of the grouping bars. For instance, if you have linked the end of the bar A with the start of the bar B, the interval is defined as difference between the starting date of the bar B and ending date of the bar A. In other sample, you may have linked the start of the bar A with start of the bar B, in this case the interval is defined as being the difference between the start of the bar A and starting date of the bar B, nothing else.

The GroupBarsOptionEnum value mat be a combination of any of the following values:

Name	Value	Description
exGroupBarsNone	-1	Performs ungrouping the bars or specifies that the bars are not grouped. The exGroupBarsNone can't be used with any other options. Set the Link(exLinkGroupBars) property on exGroupBarsNone and if the linked bars were grouped they are ungrouped.
exGroupBarsOptionNone	0	Specifies no options when grouping bars. Default option.
exPreserveBarLengthA	1	Preserves the length of the bar A when grouping. The length of the bar A is not changed if another bar in the same group may change it by grouping. Use the exPreserveBarLength value to specify that both bars should preserve their lengths.
exPreserveBarLengthB	2	Preserves the length of the bar B when grouping. The length of the bar B is not changed if another bar in the same group may change it by grouping. Use the exPreserveBarLength value to specify that both bars should preserve their lengths.
exPreserveBarLength	3	Preserves the length of both bars when grouping. The length of both bars is not changed when another bar in the same group may change the length of bars A and B.
exIgnoreOriginalInterval	4	Ignores the original interval between bars when grouping. At the moment GroupBars method is called, the control keeps the original interval between bars, so this option will specify whether to handle or not. For instance, you can have the exIgnoreOriginalInterval, and you can specify a different interval between bars using the first parameter ( Fixed Interval ) in the Options parameter of the GroupBars method.
exLimitIntervalMin	8	Limits the interval between bars so it can't be less than a specified value.
exLimitIntervalMax	16	Limits the interval between bars so it can't be greater than a specified value.
exLimitInterval	24	Limits the interval between bars so it fits a specified range.
exFlexibleInterval	32	The interval between bars is not limited and the bar B can be moved anywhere to the right of the bar A.
exLimitIntervalTreatAsWorking	64	The interval between bars is specified in working units. The NonworkingDays property specifies the days to be non-working. The exLimitIntervalTreatAsWorking can be combined with exLimitIntervalMin, exLimitIntervalMax or exLimitInterval. If the exLimitIntervalTreatAsWorking is set, interval value indicates working days, else it indicates days.
