I'm making a timeline and using the Shape.AddTimeline() method, but it always comes out as a single row. Is there a way to add more rows?

  The default arrangement for a timeline object is the single row with bubble events.

  To create a grid-like timeline with multiple rows, you can override the default in AddTimeline(). 

  myTimeline=Shape.AddTimeline(VS.Timeline_Arrangements.Row1);

  Then add rows using the Timeline method AddGridRow(Name). This labels the first row. Use additional calls to add more rows labeled with a name you specify.

  The label will be shown in the left column of the grid. Here's a quick code snippet that may help:

  {
  var myDocument=new VS.Document();
  var rootShape=myDocument.GetTheShape();
  var myTimeline=rootShape.AddTimeline(VS.Timeline_Arrangements.Grid1);
  myTimeline.AddGridRow("IT Department");
  myTimeline.AddGridRow("Software");
  }
  

  The timeline will look like this. 
  

   

  Hope this helps.
