FormatConditionBar Class

A format condition used to visualize numeric values using bars.

Namespace: DevExpress.DashboardCommon

Assembly: DevExpress.Dashboard.v20.2.Core.dll

NuGet Packages: DevExpress.Dashboard.Core, DevExpress.WindowsDesktop.Dashboard.Core

Declaration

C#

public class FormatConditionBar :
    FormatConditionMinMaxBase

VB.NET

Public Class FormatConditionBar
    Inherits FormatConditionMinMaxBase

Remarks

To create a format condition to display bars with lengths proportional to corresponding values, do the following.

• Specify colors for bars corresponding to positive and negative numeric values using the FormatConditionBar.StyleSettings and FormatConditionBar.NegativeStyleSettings, respectively.
• If necessary, specify values corresponding to the shortest or longest bars using the FormatConditionMinMaxBase.Minimum and FormatConditionMinMaxBase.Maximum properties. Use the FormatConditionMinMaxBase.MinimumType and FormatConditionMinMaxBase.MaximumType properties to specify the type of these values.
• Optionally, specify options related to bar visualizing using the FormatConditionBar.BarOptions property.

Assign the resulting FormatConditionBar object to the DashboardItemFormatRule.Condition property.

Example

The Bar format condition (FormatConditionBar) allows you to visualize numeric values using bars.

This example shows how to display data bars within grid cells. Note that bars corresponding to positive and negative values are colored differently.
