Namespace: DevExpress.XtraPivotGrid

Assembly: DevExpress.PivotGrid.v19.2.Core.dll

Declaration

C#

public enum PivotChartItemType

VB.NET

Public Enum PivotChartItemType

Members

Name	Description
RowItem	A row field value is processed to be represented in the chart control.
ColumnItem	A column field value is processed to be represented in the chart control.
CellItem	A data cell value is processed to be represented in the chart control.

Related API Members

The following properties accept/return PivotChartItemType values:

Library	Related API Members
WinForms Controls	PivotCustomChartDataSourceDataEventArgs.ItemType
ASP.NET Controls and MVC Extensions	PivotCustomChartDataSourceDataEventArgs.ItemType

Remarks

Values listed by this enumeration are used to set the ItemType property of the CustomChartDataSourceData event’s parameter (the PivotCustomChartDataSourceDataEventArgs.ItemType property for the XtraPivotGrid, and the PivotCustomChartDataSourceDataEventArgs.ItemType property for the ASPxPivotGrid).

Example

The following example demonstrates how to add custom text to data prepared by the PivotGridControl, to display it in a ChartControl.

For this, it is necessary to handle the PivotGridControl.CustomChartDataSourceData event. In this event handler, you can determine the item type via the PivotCustomChartDataSourceDataEventArgs.ItemType property and change the PivotCustomChartDataSourceDataEventArgs.Value according to your custom requirements.
