FormatConditionRangeSet Class

A format condition used to apply formatting using value ranges and corresponding style settings.

Namespace: DevExpress.DashboardCommon

Assembly: DevExpress.Dashboard.v18.2.Core.dll

Declaration

C#

public class FormatConditionRangeSet :
    FormatConditionRangeBase

VB.NET

Public Class FormatConditionRangeSet
    Inherits FormatConditionRangeBase

Remarks

Range conditions allow you to apply formatting using a predefined set of value ranges and corresponding style settings. You can use a predefined set of colors/icons to apply formatting or use custom ranges and corresponding icons/colors.

1. To use a predefined set of colors/icons, pass the required FormatConditionRangeSetPredefinedType enumeration value to the FormatConditionRangeSet constructor or call the corresponding FormatConditionRangeSet.Generate method overload.

2. To use a predefined set of colors/icons and custom range boundaries, do the following.

   • Pass the required FormatConditionRangeSetPredefinedType enumeration value to the FormatConditionRangeSet constructor or call the corresponding FormatConditionRangeSet.Generate method overload.
   • Specify the type of range boundaries using the FormatConditionRangeBase.ValueType property and assign the required boundary values using the FormatConditionRangeBase.SetValues property.
   • If necessary, change the comparison logic using the FormatConditionRangeBase.SetValueComparison property.

3. To use custom range boundaries and the required style specified for each range, do the following.

   • Specify whether an absolute or percent scale is used to define range boundaries using the FormatConditionRangeBase.ValueType property.
   • Create the required number of RangeInfo objects that are the ranges containing boundary values (the RangeInfo.Value property), a comparison logic (RangeInfo.ValueComparison) and style setting applied to range values (RangeInfo.StyleSettings).
   • Add initialized RangeInfo objects to the FormatConditionRangeBase.RangeSet collection.

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

Example

Range conditions (FormatConditionRangeSet) allow you to use predefined or custom sets of icons/colors to apply conditional formatting to different ranges of values.

This example shows how to apply conditional formatting to Grid cells using a predefined set of icons. Use the Update Formatting button to change the number of ranges, specify new range boundaries and customize icons corresponding to existing ranges.
