DrillActionEventArgs Class

Provides data for the DrillDownPerformed and DrillUpPerformed events of the DashboardDesigner and DashboardViewer.

Namespace: DevExpress.DashboardCommon

Assembly: DevExpress.Dashboard.v23.2.Core.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Dashboard.Core

Declaration

public class DrillActionEventArgs :
    EventArgs

Remarks

The DrillDownPerformed event is raised when end-users drill down into the specified dashboard item’s element. When an end-user returns to the previous detail level (drill up), the DrillUpPerformed event is raised.

The DrillActionEventArgs class exposes the DrillActionEventArgs.DashboardItemName property that allows you to determine the name of the dashboard item in which drill-down (or drill-up) has been performed.

Use the DrillActionEventArgs.DrillDownLevel and DrillActionEventArgs.Values properties to obtain the current drill-down level and corresponding values from the drill-down hierarchy, respectively.

Note

The DrillActionEventArgs.Values property returns the DashboardSpecialValues.NullValue or DashboardSpecialValues.OthersValue values instead of null or “Others” values, respectively.

Example

The following code snippets show how to perform a drill-down in DashboardViewer.

In this example, the DashboardViewer.PerformDrillDown method performs a drill-down for a specified row in a Grid dashboard item. The combo box’s SelectedIndexChanged event handler calls the method.

Click the button to call the DashboardViewer.PerformDrillUp method to return to the top detail level.
