Question
Is there a way to turn off the relationship between the length of a timeitem and its timeitemtext?
Because now when I have a short timeitembar, my timeitemtext is too short to display the whole text
Answer
Well not really, you can fallback on UserDraw and draw the time item and text yourself.
If you are using GTP.NET you can use the TimeItemTextLayout.OutsideText property, this will draw your text outside the time item.
