Remarks

The following example shows how to apply the Value format rule to cards whose actual value is greater than the set condition value. The rule applies the green check icon to the card’s text layout element. The CreateTextElement method obtains the text layout element by the element’s display text.

C#

using System.Windows.Forms;
using DevExpress.DashboardCommon;

CardDashboardItem cardItem = (CardDashboardItem)dashboardDesigner1.Dashboard.Items["cardDashboardItem1"];

CardItemDeltaFormatRule iconRule = new CardItemDeltaFormatRule();
iconRule.DeltaValueType = DeltaValueType.ActualValue;
iconRule.Card = cardItem.Cards[0];
FormatConditionValue valueCondition2 = new FormatConditionValue(DashboardFormatCondition.Greater, 1000000);
valueCondition2.StyleSettings = new IconSettings(FormatConditionIconType.IndicatorGreenCheck);
iconRule.Condition = valueCondition2;
CardFormatRuleLayoutElement text = CardFormatRuleLayoutElement.CreateTextElement("Sales: ");
iconRule.ApplyToLayoutElement = text;
cardItem.FormatRules.Add(iconRule);

VB.NET

Imports System.Windows.Forms
Imports DevExpress.DashboardCommon

Dim card As CardDashboardItem = CType(dashboardDesigner1.Dashboard.Items("cardDashboardItem1"), CardDashboardItem)

Dim iconRule As New CardItemDeltaFormatRule()
iconRule.DeltaValueType = DeltaValueType.ActualValue
iconRule.Card = cardItem.Cards(0)
Dim valueCondition2 As New FormatConditionValue(DashboardFormatCondition.Greater, 1000000)
valueCondition2.StyleSettings = New IconSettings(FormatConditionIconType.IndicatorGreenCheck)
iconRule.Condition = valueCondition2
Dim text As CardFormatRuleLayoutElement = CardFormatRuleLayoutElement.CreateTextElement("Sales: ")
iconRule.ApplyToLayoutElement = text
cardItem.FormatRules.Add(iconRule)
