Creating customized GANTT view.

 Creating customized GANTT view.

Is it possible using VBA to create customized GANTT view that would show the
bar for the activity and on the line below it, to show the timephased
resources something like this:

        Jan            Feb            Mar      <<<<<< This is the timescale
        <>===============<>    <<<<<< This is the GANTT bar
        10            10                10        <<<<< this is the sum of
the timphased resources.

If not, is it possible to access graphical objects in Project from VB 6 to
create it?

Thanks,

You can not do this manually in MS Project and hence vba also can NOT
produce such output.

The easiest way to do it is to get the output in Excel. The "Analze
Timescaled Data in Excel..." of analysis tool bar transfers data to excel
but bars are not transferred. You can add code to shade the cells for tasks
where resource figures are not zero which gives an effect of bar. Or you can
even draw a bar using a rectangles in excel with start and end points
interpolated from dates to columns in Excel. Of cource this is a simple
concept but takes immense amount of effort. I had done a similar thing some
years ago in my previous company for creating reports of Scurves overlapped
on barcharts along with time phased figures and the program ran into
thousands of lines.

I think doing it using VB is impractical, eventhough it is not impossible.
