Namespace: DevExpress.DashboardCommon
Assembly: DevExpress.Dashboard.v19.1.Core.dll
Declaration
Property Value
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| DataItemDateTimeFormat | A DataItemDateTimeFormat object that contains format settings for date-time values. |
Remarks
The DateTimeFormat property allows you to select format types for dimension date-time values displayed for different group intervals (like Year, Month, Year-Quarter, etc.). The returned DataItemDateTimeFormat object exposes a number of properties, each defining a format type that corresponds to a particular group interval. Use the Dimension.DateTimeGroupInterval property to specify the actual group interval.
Note that date-time fields can originate measures as well. If such a measure calculates a maximum or minimum summary, the resulting values are of the date-time type. These values are formatted using the DataItemDateTimeFormat.DateFormat setting. All other settings provided by the DateTimeFormat property are ignored for measures.
Actual formatting patterns are defined by the current system locale (or the client’s locale, when a dashboard is shown on the web).
If the DataItem does not correspond to a date-time data member, the DateTimeFormat options are not in effect.
