true. DefaultBoolean.True has a constant value of 0, while the standard true value corresponds to a value of 1. In Visual Basic, do not use implicit conversion of Boolean values to DefaultBoolean, and vice versa, as the conversion may produce incorrect results.

False

false. DefaultBoolean.False has a constant value of 1, while the standard false value corresponds to a value of 0. In Visual Basic, do not use implicit conversion of Boolean values to DefaultBoolean, and vice versa, as the conversion may produce incorrect results.

Remarks

This property is in effect for fields displayed within the Column Header Area and Row Header Area. It specifies whether expand buttons are displayed within Field Value boxes and thus it determines whether an end-user can expand/collapse specific rows/columns.

If the AllowExpand property is set to DefaultBoolean.Default the ability to expand/collapse rows/columns is determined by the control’s PivotGridOptionsCustomization.AllowExpand property.

Set the AllowExpand property to DefaultBoolean.False to prevent an end-user from expanding/collapsing the corresponding rows/columns.

If the AllowExpand property is set to DefaultBoolean.True an end-user can expand/collapse the corresponding rows/columns regardless of the PivotGridOptionsCustomization.AllowExpand property’s value.
