DocumentExportAreaType Enum

Lists types of Grid and TreeList areas that contain exported cells.

Namespace: DevExpress.Blazor

Assembly: DevExpress.Blazor.v25.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Blazor

Declaration

public enum DocumentExportAreaType

Members

Name	Description
Header	A column header row.
DataArea	A data row.
GroupHeader	A group row.
GroupFooter	A group footer row.
TotalFooter	A total footer row.

Related API Members

The following properties accept/return DocumentExportAreaType values:

• GridDocumentExportCustomizeCellEventArgsBase.AreaType

Remarks

When exporting Grid/TreeList data to PDF, handle the CustomizeCell event to customize table cells in the output file. The AreaType event argument identifies the area containing the processed cell. The following image displays all area types:

Note

GroupHeader and GroupFooter areas are Grid-specific and do not exist in the TreeList component.

Grid Example

The following example exports Grid data to PDF and customizes the output table appearance:
