How to Synchronize Master Filter and Drill Down Actions Between Dashboards
- 4 minutes to read
This example demonstrates how to synchronize Master Filter and Drill-Down actions between different dashboards.
The main form contains the DashboardControl control. The Show Child Window button invokes another window with a DashboadControl. Master Filtering and Drill-Down actions performed in the main window are applied to the child window.
To accomplish this, the child window subscribes to the following events of the main window’s DashboardControl:
When an event occurs, the following methods are used to apply filter values to the child window’s DashboardControl or to perform the data drill-down or drill-up operations:
- SetMasterFilter(String, Object)
- SetRange(String, RangeFilterSelection)
- ClearMasterFilter(String)
- PerformDrillDown(String, Object)
- PerformDrillUp(String)
